Claim:
1. A RFID tag connection system, comprising: a first RFID tag comprising at least one first antenna configured to receive first RF power in received first wireless RF signals, a first energy storage device configured to store excess energy derived from excess received first RF power, and one or more first energy sharing conductors coupled to the first energy storage device; and a second RFID tag comprising at least one second antenna configured to receive second RF power in received second wireless RF signals, and one or more second energy sharing conductors; the first energy storage device forming a shared energy storage device when the one or more first energy sharing conductors of the first RFID tag are connected to the one or more second energy sharing conductors of the second RFID tag; the first RFID tag further comprises a first power manager configured to store excess energy derived from the excess received first RF power in the shared energy storage device if the received first RF power exceeds a first operational threshold power for the first RFID tag; and the second RFID tag further comprises a second power manager configured to store excess energy derived from excess received second RF power in the shared energy storage device if the received second RF power exceeds a second operational threshold power for the second RFID tag.
