A rechargeable battery installed in a battery powered device is charged using a separate battery charging device. A charging signal is provided from the battery charging device to the battery powered device. The charging signal includes energy to charge the battery during a charging session. In the battery charging device from the battery powered device, a plurality of values of a charging parameter is received. The values reflect an amount of energy being received by the battery powered device from the charging signal provided by the battery charging device. In the battery charging device, the plurality of values of the charging parameter received from the battery powered device are analyzed. In the battery charging device, the charging signal is adjusted based on the analyzing.

Method of improving battery recharge efficiency by statistical analysis

A system and method for using statistical analysis of information obtained during a rechargeable battery charging session, wherein the method is for optimizing one or more parameters that are used for controlling the charging of a rechargeable battery during the charging session.

A method for wirelessly charging a battery in an implantable medical device including the steps of: providing a receiver in the implantable medical device and providing a temperature sensor in the implantable medical device. The method also includes receiving, via the receiver, a wireless power signal from an external charger and converting the wireless power signal into a battery charge signal including power for recharging the battery. The method yet also includes sensing a temperature of the implantable medical device with the temperature sensor. The method further includes changing a current of the battery charge signal from a first non-zero current to a second non-zero current that is different from the first non-zero current. Changing of the current of the battery charge signal is based on the temperature sensed by the temperature sensor.

Implant current controlled battery charging based on temperature

A system and method of controlling the charging of the battery of a medical device using a remote inductive charger, with the method utilizing both a relatively fast closed-loop charging control based on a proxy for a target power transmission value in conjunction, and a slower closed-loop control based on an actual measured transmission value to control a charging power level for charging the medical device.
