Abstract
A battery (100) includes charging contacts (102) having a number of exposed planes (104, 106, and 108) for versatility charging battery cells (112) via a number of charging configurations (402 and 502). Three different charging embodiments; a radio charging structure (302), a vertical charging apparatus (502) and a horizontal charger (402) are presented. These chargers may be conveniently designed without limiting their versatility as is commonly imposed by contact limitations experienced with battery packages of the prior art.
