wireless battery charging for lasers?

[zxn474l]

I have seen where now you can obtain "wireless" charging stations for cell phones and other devices where you just lay the device on the strip and it charges it with no wires...My question is this should be possible with laser batteries also right? That would be great for builds with rechargable batteries but with no plug in cables or removing the batteries for certain laser host unlike pen style pointers. Does anyone know if this can be done? If yes please respond!

Yes, it can be done. They have a line of cordless tools that have wireless charging, now. The only drawback is the extra room you need in the host for the inductance coil. (quite large, by laser standards)

And for LiIon cells, a built in smart charger circuit.

So tell me what I would need to do this say for a green o-like laser module running on 3.6-4.2 volts at 1000ma. I want to p0ut it in a light gun for video games cut the cord and have this "wireless" power charging capabilites whare I can just lay the laser "gun" on the charging strip then FIRE AWAY!

ZXN -- You will NEED to do a lot of testing and research for this. The primary side of the "wireless" transformer will be 60 Hz if that's your design. Higher frequency will reduice the size of the coils and you NEED to decide on the charger circuit which fits your housing.
I don't think that WE can tell you what you need. You are the design engineer for this project.

Thanks Mike.
