Abstract
Systems, devices, and techniques facilitating wirelessly charging and/or communicating with one or more electronic devices (e.g., electronic wearable devices) are provided. A device can comprise a memory and a storage component that can be operatively coupled to the memory. The storage component can comprise one or more recesses that can receive a second device that can be charged by the storage component. The storage component can comprise a charging circuit and an inductive circuit that can be coupled to the charging circuit. The storage component can harvest energy from one or more energy sources to charge the charging circuit. Based on the energy harvested, the inductive circuit can inductively couple to the second device having a second inductive circuit and positioned in at least one of the recesses and the inductive circuit can charge a power source of the second device.
