Contact point power pad for battery charger
First Claim
1. A power pad, comprising:
- a base insulation pad;
a plurality of alternately charged strips electrically connected to at least one voltage source and physically atop the base insulation pad; and
a plurality of raised insulating ridges interstitially between alternating ones of the alternately charged strips for slidably receiving ones of three contact balls of a mobile device, wherein a first of the contact balls is guided to a first of the plurality of alternately charged strips by a first of the plurality of raised insulating ridges, and wherein a second and third of the contact balls are guided to a second of the plurality of alternately charged strips having a different charge than the first of the plurality of alternately charged strips by a second of the plurality of raised insulating ridges.

Abstract
An apparatus, system and method for providing a contact point power pad for use with a battery charger, such as may reside in a mobile device. The apparatus, system and method may include a base insulation pad, a plurality of alternately charged strips electrically connected to at least one voltage source and physically atop the base insulation pad, and a plurality of raised insulating ridges interstitially between alternating ones of the alternately charged strips. The apparatus, system and method may also include a mobile device for use with a power pad. The mobile device may include three contact balls electrically associated with at least one battery charger for providing charging power to the at least one battery charger.
