Abstract

A battery cover suitable for being used to cover a battery groove of an electric appliance such as a game controller, a remote controller, a mobile phone, a multi-medium player, a wireless mouse, a flashlight, a PDA, a digital camera etc. to generate electric power in a wireless inducing mode, for charging chargeable batteries that can thus supply electric power for operation of an electric appliance. Therefore, when a user is desired to electrically charge the chargeable batteries, it needs not to take the chargeable batteries out of the electric appliance, but needs only to directly place the electric appliance in an effective wireless induction zone to make the battery cover generate electric power in a wireless inducing mode to charge the batteries.
