Abstract

A system and method for transferring battery power transfer between portable electronic devices is disclosed. Specifically, a battery to battery transfer system and method is disclosed, in which a first portable electronic device comprising a first battery and a second portable electronic device and a second portable electronic device comprising a second battery are connected by a connecting device capable of attaching both portable electronic devices and transferring power from the first battery to the second battery. Furthermore, first electronic device is capable of outputting power from the first battery.

Claims

1. A link comprising

a plurality of wires each having a first end and a second end;

a transferring connector having a first male end connected to the first ends of said wires, said transferring connector connectable to a first mobile device port, said first mobile device port an audio port, wherein said transferring connector is a 30-pin connector; and

a receiving connector having a second male end connected to the second ends of said wires, said receiving connector connectable to a second mobile device charging port, wherein said receiving connector is one of a second 30-pin connector or a 19-pin connector,

said wires, said transferring connector, and said receiving connector configured to transfer power from said first mobile device port to said second mobile device charging port.

2. The link of claim 1 wherein said receiving connector is said 19-pin connector.

3. The link of claim 1 wherein said receiving connector is said second 30-pin connector.

12. The link of claim 1, wherein said wires are predominately encased in a cord.

13. The link of claim 1 wherein said wires are predominantly encased within a compact solid casing.

4. A link comprising

a plurality of wires each having a first end and a second end;

a transferring connector having a first male end connected to the first ends of said wires, said transferring connector connectable to a first mobile device port, said first mobile device port an audio port, wherein said transferring connector is an audio jack; and

a receiving connector having a second male end connected to the second ends of said wires, said receiving connector connectable to a second mobile device charging port, wherein said receiving connector is one of a 30-pin connector or 19-pin connector,

said wires, said transferring connector, and said receiving connector configured to transfer power from said first mobile device port to said second mobile device charging port.

5. The link of claim 4 wherein said receiving connector is said 19-pin connector.

6. The link of claim 4 wherein said receiving connector is said 30-pin connector.

7. The link of claim 4, wherein said wires are predominately encased in a cord.

8. The link of claim 4 wherein said wires are predominantly encased within a compact solid casing.

9. A link comprising

a plurality of wires each having a first end and a second end;
