Abstract
An apparatus, method, and system to, for example, transmit and/or receive wireless signals is disclosed. The present invention uses, for example, electrically conductive surfaces within the energy device itself as a means of receiving and/or transmitting wireless communications signals. The surface may be an integral portion of the energy device, such as a charge collection surface within a battery or a capacitor that mainly provides the battery or a capacitor with a necessary function. In another embodiment of the invention the metallic or conductive surface is added to and specifically built into the energy device during manufacturing for the main purpose of receiving and/or transmitting wireless communications signals but is otherwise not necessary for the energy storage component.
