Abstract
Exemplary embodiments are directed to an electronic device for enabling a temperature of a battery unit to be sensed with a wired power charger or a wireless power. A device may include a wireless power receiver and a wired charging module operably coupled to the wireless power receiver. The device may also include an interface configured to couple to a battery unit and for selectively enabling one of the wireless power receiver and the wired charging module to determine a temperature of the battery unit.
