1. A system for charging a mobile communication device, comprising:
- a mobile communication device;
a power source;
a cord; and
a mobile communication device charger, the mobile communication device charger comprising;
one or more body housing battery charging elements;
a power connector;
a mobile device connector;
a code receiver; and
a switch that prevents unauthorized battery charging from the mobile device connector;
wherein the mobile communication device charger is coupled to the power source and the mobile communication device is coupled to the mobile communication device charger with the cord;
wherein the code receiver is configured to receive, from the power source, in the form of a variation in the electrical power supplied by the power source, an authorization code, the code receiver further being configured to validate the authorization code by performing a comparison between the authorization code and a stored authorization code stored in a memory; and
wherein, following the receipt of the authorization code from the power source, the code receiver is configured to supply power to the mobile communication device when the authorization code matches the stored authorization code and is configured not to supply power to the mobile communication device when the authorization code does not match the stored authorization code.

Abstract
A secure mobile device charger for charging batteries of mobile devices. The secure mobile charger can include one or more body housing battery charging elements; a power connector; a mobile device connector; a code receiver; and a switch that prevents unauthorized battery charging from the mobile device connector. The code receiver may receive a code transmitted from the power source in the form of a variation in the electrical power supplied by the power source, which may be used to provide authorization to enable battery charging from the mobile device connector.
