A rechargeable apparatus is provided for being recharged by an power
source. The rechargeable apparatus include a rechargeable battery and a
secondary inductive coil excited by the power source. The secondary
inductive coil includes a first inductor having a first axis, a second
inductor having a second axis, and a third inductor having a third axis.
The first, second, and third axes are mutually orthogonal. The first,
second, and third inductors produce a power output in response to said
power source. The secondary inductive coil is electrically connected to
the rechargeable battery whereby charging energy is coupled from the
power source to the rechargeable battery regardless of an orientation of
the secondary inductive coil to the power source.
