System and method for recharging a mobile, submersible device
First Claim
1. A system for charging a mobile device having a rechargeable battery, the system comprising:
- a power charge unit comprising a power source and at least two electrical contacts, said power source for supplying an electrical potential at the at least two electrical contacts, said power charge unit being removably engageable with the mobile device via the two electrical contacts; and
a charging unit in said mobile device comprisingat least two charging contacts for engaging with said at least two electrical contacts of the power charge unit and for receiving the electrical potential therefrom;
a logic circuitry for controlling the charging of the rechargeable battery by activating the charging only when the electrical potential difference is received at the at least two charging contacts; and
a blocking device for blocking energy leaking through said at least two charging contacts out of said mobile device and ensuring a neutrality of the at least two charging contacts when the charging is inactivated.
