A portable timepiece includes a case, a power receiving coil accommodated on a rear surface side in the case, a bypass member configured to include a soft magnetic material, and a first band that is attached to the case, that is internally equipped with the bypass member, and that enables the bypass member to be disposed between the power receiving coil and a charging device when charging is performed using the charging device.

The invention relates to a charging station (1) for telecommunication devices and other small electronic devices, which comprises a platform (3) having a plurality of webs (4-6) arranged parallel to each other. Supply cables and plug connections for connection to the associated charging device can be routed under said platform (3). An adapter (2) is used to connect the telecommunication devices or small devices positioned on the platform (3) to the supply cables or plug connections under the platform (3). The adapter (2) is to be positioned transversely to the webs (4-6) and has a receptacle (8) for a telecommunication device or small device and a fastening block (7), which is to be inserted between two webs (4, 5) of the platform (3) and is connected to the receptacle (8) by means of an extension arm (9).

A charging device includes a base and a platform that extends upward from the base. The base and platform may each be configured with wireless charging surfaces to enable wireless charging of a computing device upon contact. The base includes a recess in front of where the platform extends to provide support to a computing device, such as a smartphone. The base's surface may gradually rise until reaching the recess to provide further support to the smartphone and thereby prevent the smartphone from sliding down. The charging device includes female receptacles to enable charging adapters to connect to the charging device, thereby increasing the number of accessories charged with the charging device. Charging adapters can include a laterally extending platform on which, for example, a smartwatch can rest, or a charging shaft that includes a series of electrical contacts for charging external battery devices.

A watch charging assembly 10 has a coil 22, a membrane 24 and a back plate 12. The coil 22 is configured to pass electric current received at a first or second contact pad 27, 28. The membrane 24 is affixed to the coil 22 forming a membrane and coil assembly 20. The back plate 12 has a pair of conductive inserts 30. Each conductive insert 30 is aligned with and contacts each contact pad 27, 28. The back plate 12 with the coil 22 and membrane 24 form the charging assembly 10. The charging assembly 10 is configured to form a bottom or underside or, alternatively, be attached to a bottom or underside of a rechargeable battery operated wristwatch 100 and when worn, the charging assembly 10 receives electric current from the wearer to charge a rechargeable battery of the wristwatch 100. The coil 22 can be a pancake coil.

To provide a power storage device whose charge and discharge characteristics are unlikely to be degraded by heat treatment. To provide a power storage device that is highly safe against heat treatment. The power storage device includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a separator, an electrolytic solution, and an exterior body. The separator is located between the positive electrode and the negative electrode. The separator contains polyphenylene sulfide or solvent-spun regenerated cellulosic fiber. The electrolytic solution contains a solute and two or more kinds of solvents. The solute contains LiBETA. One of the solvents is propylene carbonate.
