Abstract
A wireless power system has electronic devices that mate with each other to transfer wireless power. Each device may have a wireless power coil. Alignment magnets may be used to magnetically attach devices to each other so that the coils in the devices are aligned with respect to each other for wireless power transfer. The system may include first, second, and third devices. The first and third devices may have fixed alignment magnets with poles of opposite magnetic polarity that allow the first and third devices to be attached to each other so that their coils are aligned. The second device may have a reconfigurable alignment magnet that is operable in a first mode in which the second device is magnetically attached to the first device and a second mode in which the second device is magnetically attached to the third device.
