Battery pack for mobile devices
First Claim
1. A protective battery case for use with a mobile electronic device, the protective battery case comprising:
- a protective casing comprising;
a back wall configured to be positioned adjacent to at least a portion of a back side of a mobile electronic device, wherein the mobile device has a primary battery for powering the mobile electronic device;
an upper wall configured to be positioned adjacent to at least a portion of a top of the mobile electronic device;
a right side wall configured to be positioned adjacent to at least a portion of a right side of the mobile electronic device;
a left side wall configured to be positioned adjacent to at least a portion of a left side of the mobile electronic device;
a front opening configured such that a display of the mobile electronic device is visible through the front opening such that the mobile electronic device is usable while inside the casing;
a supplemental battery housed within a thickness of the back wall such that the supplemental battery is configured to be positioned behind the back side of the mobile electronic device;
a first interface coupled to the supplemental battery and configured to recharge the primary battery of the mobile electronic device with power from the supplemental battery;
a second interface coupled to the supplemental battery and configured to recharge the supplemental battery, wherein the second interface comprises an external port configured to receive a connector for wired recharging of the supplemental battery; and
a third interface coupled to the supplemental battery and configured to recharge the supplemental battery, wherein the third interface comprises a wireless charging device for recharging the supplemental battery wirelessly.

Abstract
A battery pack is provided for a mobile communication device, comprising a casing defining a cavity that conforms, at least partially, to the outer shape of the mobile communication device and one or more rechargeable power cells housed within the thickness of the casing. An internal interface engages a corresponding interface on the mobile communication device to provide power from the one or more rechargeable cells to the mobile communication device. An external interface is electrically coupled to the internal interface in order to transmit signals from the mobile communication device to an external device and may further serve to recharge the one or more rechargeable power cells. The battery pack may also serve as an extendible platform by providing additional integrated communication interfaces and/or processors that can be utilized by the mobile communication device to extend its communication and/or processing capabilities.
