Abstract

A system and method for transferring battery power transfer between portable electronic devices is disclosed herein. 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 said 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 said first battery.

Claims
