Each charging bay includes a first antenna configured to provide charging power to the battery, a second antenna configured to communicate with the battery controller, and a charger controller. The charger controller is configured to detect a presence of the battery within a receptacle associated with a charging bay, establish communication with the battery using the second antenna while the first antenna is deactivated, pair the battery to the charging device, activate the first antenna after the battery is paired, and provide charging power to the battery using the first antenna.
