Problems solved by technology

As a result, batteries used in medical environments that are subjected to autoclaving can sustain greater damage than batteries used in other industries
[0007] Also, because the battery may be idle for a period of time before being connected to the surgical tool used for the procedure, the battery may gradually lose its charge
Thus, a battery that starts out in a fully charged state may gradually lose charge when placed in a storage location, and may not have the required level of charge when it is desired to use the battery

Abstract

A system includes a battery having a battery controller and a container including a plurality of receptacles, each receptacle being shaped to receive the battery. The system also includes a charging device including a plurality of charging bays, wherein each charging bay is shaped to receive a respective receptacle of the plurality of receptacles. 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.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This patent application claims priority to and all benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 563,245, filed September 26, 2017, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] The present application relates generally to batteries for medical devices. More specifically, the present invention relates to systems and methods for wirelessly charging batteries of medical devices. Background technique [0004] Non-rechargeable batteries are known as primary batteries, while rechargeable batteries are known as secondary batteries. Secondary batteries are capable of being recharged, stored, and delivered to a medical device to which the battery is connected, such as a surgical tool. Over the years, secondary batteries have evolved into reliable power sources for powered surgical tools used in operating rooms to perform surgical procedures. The use of batteries removes...
