Abstract
An aerosol delivery device is provided that includes at least one housing enclosing a reservoir configured to retain an aerosol precursor composition, and a heating element controllable to activate and vaporize components of the aerosol precursor composition. The aerosol delivery device also includes a power source connected to and configured to provide power to an electrical load that includes the heating element, and an induction receiver connected to the power source, the induction receiver including a resonant receiver coupling device in which an alternating current is induced when exposed to an oscillating magnetic field, and a rectifier configured to convert the alternating current to a direct current from which the power source is rechargeable.
