1. A method, comprising:
- establishing, by a battery charger, a wireless communication with a mobile device;
wirelessly receiving, by the battery charger, data representing a three-dimensional plot of historical consumption of a battery power associated with a battery powering the mobile device;
determining, by the battery charger, a charging strategy for the battery based on the data representing the three-dimensional plot of the historical consumption;
receiving, by the battery charger, electrical power; and
inductively coupling, by the battery charger, the electrical power to charge the battery powering the mobile device according to the charging strategy based on the data representing the three-dimensional plot of the historical consumption.
