eCoupled is a proprietary near-field wireless energy transfer technology developed by Fulton Innovation, a division of Alticor.
[1] eCoupled technology uses its wireless data transfer and authentication capabilities to automatically identify compatible products that need to be charged, the products' charge states, and the most efficient level at which to power the device(s) in question.
[2] It also stops power transmission when the device with the receiving electricity is turned off or fully charged.
Energy transmission without wires was pioneered by researchers such as Nikola Tesla, Heinrich Rudolf Hertz, and Guglielmo Marconi.
[10] Previously, the design team had experienced issues with the durability and corrosion of electrical connections inside the device.
