Title: Autoclavable Container For Sterilizing A Wirelessly Chargeable Battery

Description:
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS 
     This patent application claims priority to and all the benefits of both U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62/965,614 filed on Jan. 24, 2020 and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62/824,780 filed on Mar. 27, 2019, which are herein incorporated by reference in their entireties. 
    
    
     BACKGROUND 
     Non-rechargeable batteries are known as primary batteries while rechargeable batteries are known as secondary batteries. A secondary battery is capable of repeatedly being charged, storing the charge and delivering the charge to a medical device, such as a surgical tool, to which the battery is attached. The use of a battery eliminates the need to provide a power cord connected to an external power source. The elimination of the power cord offers benefits over corded surgical tools. Surgical personnel using this type of tool do not have to concern themselves with either sterilizing a cord so that it can be brought into the sterile surgical field surrounding the patient or ensuring that, during surgery, an unsterilized cord is not inadvertently introduced into the surgical field. Moreover, the elimination of the cord results in the removal of the physical clutter and field-of-view blockage the cord otherwise brings to a surgical procedure. 
     Batteries used to power surgical tools are exposed to adverse environmental elements to which batteries used for non-medical uses are seldom exposed. For example, during a surgical procedure, a medical battery may be exposed to blood or other body fluid. Tissue removed from the patient may adhere to the battery. It is therefore a required practice to sterilize the battery or ensure that the battery is housed within a sterilized housing between surgical procedures. Therefore, the batteries must either be sterilizable themselves, or may be non-sterile batteries that have a sterilizable housing in which the batteries are disposed. In the example of sterilizable batteries, the cleaning/sterilization process typically involves rinsing the battery to remove contaminants that are readily visible on the surface of the battery. However, these events may cause a conductive bridge to form between the battery contacts, which can lead to the formation of a layer of metal oxide on one or more of the contacts. This oxide layer functions as an impedance layer that reduces the efficiency of both the charging of the battery and the efficiency of the battery to deliver charge to the tool to which the battery is coupled. 
     The batteries may also be subjected to immersion in a steam-filled chamber as part of an autoclaving process. To survive the high temperatures present during the autoclave process, specialized batteries must be used. Autoclave temperatures often exceed 120 degrees Celsius. Even with specialized batteries that are designed to withstand autoclave temperatures, damage may still occur to the batteries during the autoclave process (although less damage than would occur with conventional batteries used in other environments). As a result, batteries used in medical environments that are subjected to autoclaving may sustain more damage than batteries used in other industries. 
     In addition, as batteries may be unused for a period of time before being connected to a surgical tool for use in a procedure, the batteries may gradually lose charge. Accordingly, a battery that started out with a full state of charge may gradually lose charge while disposed in a storage location and may not have a required level of charge when the battery is desired to be used. Health care professionals who use the surgical tools and associated batteries need to have confidence that the batteries used in the tools have a sufficient level of charge and have a sufficient level of health to be used in a surgical procedure or other potentially critical setting.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present disclosure. It will be apparent, however, to one having ordinary skill in the art that the specific detail need not be employed to practice the present disclosure. In other instances, well-known materials or methods have not been described in detail in order to avoid obscuring the present disclosure. 
     Reference throughout this specification to “one instance”, “an instance”, “one example” or “an example” means that a particular feature, structure or characteristic described in connection with the instance of example is included in at least one instance of the present disclosure. Thus, appearances of the phrases “in one instance”, “in an instance”, “one example” or “an example” in various places throughout this specification are not necessarily all referring to the same instance or example. Furthermore, the particular features, structures or characteristics may be combined in any suitable combinations and/or sub-combinations in one or more instances or examples. In addition, it is appreciated that the figures provided herewith are for explanation purposes to persons ordinarily skilled in the art and that the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale. 
     The present disclosure particularly describes a battery that is capable of being charged by a wireless charging module having at least one charging bay. The wirelessly chargeable battery may be sterilized and placed in an autoclavable container that is capable of being sterilized and retaining a sterile state of a volume contained therein. In other words, the autoclavable container provides a microbial barrier such that the contents within the autoclavable container are maintained in a sterile state until the autoclavable container has been opened. The autoclavable container may then be transported to the charging module and the wirelessly chargeable battery may be charged while remaining in the sterile volume. The wirelessly chargeable battery may also communicate with the charging module while the wirelessly chargeable battery remains in the sterile volume. While the wirelessly chargeable battery is being transported to the charging module, the wirelessly chargeable battery and its internal components may be in a low power state. 
     When the wirelessly chargeable battery is placed in proximity to the charging bay, a communication antenna associated with the charging bay generates an electromagnetic field that is used to communicate with a battery communication device. A power antenna is also associated with the charging bay and may be disabled when the communication antenna is enabled. In one instance, the battery communication device includes a communication device, such as a near-field communication (NFC) tag with an integrated RF antenna. In other instances, other tags such as RFID tags or other suitable circuits coupled to an antenna may be used. The antenna is energized by the electromagnetic field of the charging module and the battery communication device exits the low power state to pair with the charging module. In one instance, all other components of the wirelessly chargeable battery, such as the battery controller, charging circuit, etc., may exit the low power state when the RF tag antenna is energized or when the wirelessly chargeable battery is paired with the charging module. 
     After the wirelessly chargeable battery and charging module have been paired, the charging module may receive battery state data, such as battery state of charge data and battery state of health data, from the NFC tag or other communication device. The charging module may indicate the battery state data on one or more indicators, such as within a display area of the charging module (see  FIG. 11A ). The charging module may also receive battery operational data from the NFC tag. 
     When the charging module has received the battery state data and/or the battery operational data, the charging module may determine whether the wirelessly chargeable battery is ready to charge by transmitting an associated request to the wirelessly chargeable battery. If the wirelessly chargeable battery responds to the request with a message indicating that it is ready to charge, the charging module begins a charging process. 
     The charging module may begin the charging process by disabling the communication antenna and enabling the power antenna of the charging bay associated with the battery. The power antenna generates an electromagnetic field that inductively couples to a corresponding antenna within the battery. Charging power is then provided from the charger power antenna to the battery antenna to charge the battery cells. After a predetermined time has elapsed, the charger controller may disable the power antenna, re-enable the communication antenna, and begin the process again by pairing the charging device to the battery using the communication antenna and battery communication device. In this way, the charger controller may periodically receive updated data from the battery to determine whether additional power should be wirelessly provided to the battery. 
       FIG. 1  is a perspective view of a system  10  that includes an autoclavable container  12  for sterilizing a wirelessly chargeable battery  14  and a charging module  16  for providing charging power to the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . As described more fully herein, each autoclavable container  12  may receive one or more wirelessly chargeable batteries  14 , and each charging module  16  may receive one or more autoclavable containers  12 . After the autoclavable container  12  receives a wirelessly chargeable battery  14  and the charging module  16  receives autoclavable container  12 , the charging module  16  establishes communication with the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  and provides charging power to the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . Herein, each of the autoclavable container  12 , the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 , and the charging module  16  will be described in further detail. 
     The autoclavable container  12  is configured to receive one or more wirelessly chargeable batteries  14  for sterilization in an autoclave and for charging by the charging module  16 . The autoclavable container  12  allows the wirelessly chargeable batteries  14  to be sterilized and transported to a desired location of use (e.g., an operating room) using a variety of methods. 
     In one such method, the wirelessly chargeable batteries  14  may be placed within the autoclavable container  12  prior to sterilization. The autoclavable container  12  may then be sterilized in an autoclave process (or other suitable sterilization process) while the wirelessly chargeable batteries  14  remain inside the autoclavable container  12 . Thus, in this method, the wirelessly chargeable batteries  14  and the autoclavable container  12  may be sterilized together and a volume  30  (shown in  FIG. 2B ) within the autoclavable container  12  may be sterilized or maintained in a sterile state. The autoclavable container  12  may then be carried or otherwise transported to the desired location of use while maintaining the sterile state of wirelessly chargeable batteries  14  and sterile volume  30 . 
     In another such method, the wirelessly chargeable batteries  14  may be sterilized in an autoclaving process (or another suitable process) and may then be placed into the autoclavable container  12 . The autoclavable container  12  may alternatively be sterilized to ensure that a volume  30  (shown in  FIG. 2B ) within the autoclavable container  12  is suitably sterile. The wirelessly chargeable batteries  14  are thus placed into the sterile volume  30  of the autoclavable container  12  such that the sterile state of the wirelessly chargeable batteries  14  is maintained. The autoclavable container  12  may then be sealed and carried or otherwise transported to the desired location of use while maintaining the sterile state of the wirelessly chargeable batteries  14  and the sterile volume  30 . 
     Accordingly, after using either of the above methods to sterilize the wirelessly chargeable batteries  14 , the autoclavable container  12  housing the wirelessly chargeable batteries  14  may be placed within a proximity of the charging module  16  to charge the wirelessly chargeable batteries  14 . As such, the charging module  16  may provide charging power to the wirelessly chargeable batteries  14  while the wirelessly chargeable batteries  14  remain microbially sealed within sterile volume  30 . In addition, the charging module  16  may communicate with the wirelessly chargeable batteries  14  while the wirelessly chargeable batteries  14  are housed within the sterile volume  30  to obtain battery operational data, battery state data, and/or any other suitable data described herein. 
     In an alternative instance, the wirelessly chargeable batteries  14  may be placed in the autoclavable container  12  prior to sterilization, and the autoclavable container  12  may be placed within a proximity of the charging module  16  such that the wirelessly chargeable batteries  14  receive charging power while the autoclavable container  12  and the wirelessly chargeable batteries  14  are in the non-sterile state. In such an instance, after the wirelessly chargeable batteries  14  receive charging power from the charging module  16 , the autoclavable container  12  and the wirelessly chargeable batteries  14  may be sterilized in an autoclave such that the wirelessly chargeable batteries  14  are stored in a sterile and charged state until the autoclavable container  12  is opened. 
     In another alternative instance, the autoclavable container  12  may be used to sterilize a surgical instrument other than the wirelessly chargeable batteries  14 . For instance, the methods described herein may be used to sterilize manual surgical instruments, such as scalpels, forceps and osteo-tomes. The methods described herein may also be used to sterilize powered surgical instruments, such as rotary handpieces, drills, or endoscopes. 
       FIGS. 2A-2F  illustrate various views of the autoclavable container  12 . As shown, the autoclavable container  12  is substantially rectangular in shape. However, it should be recognized that the autoclavable container  12  may be any suitable shape that enables the autoclavable container  12  to operate as described herein. 
     As shown in  FIG. 2A , the autoclavable container  12  may include two opposing side portions  18 , two opposing end portions  20 , a bottom portion  22 , and a top portion  24 . In the instance shown in  FIG. 2A , the autoclavable container  12  includes a lid  26  and a base  28 , which are sealable to one another through use of one or more seals to define the volume  30  (shown in  FIG. 2B ) within the autoclavable container  12 . The lid  26  and the base  28  each include an outer surface  27 ,  29 , respectively. The lid  26  and the base  28  also include an inner surface  31 ,  33 , respectively (shown in  FIGS. 6B and 6C , respectively) which cooperate to define the volume  30 . In one instance, the lid  26  is removable from the base  28  to enable one or more wirelessly chargeable batteries  14  to be removably placed inside the autoclavable container  12 , as shown in  FIG. 2A . 
     The lid  26  of the autoclavable container  12  may include metal and is configured to retain heat to facilitate drying of contents thereof. For example, in an instance where the autoclavable container  12  houses a wirelessly chargeable battery  14 , the autoclavable container  12  may be placed in an autoclave to sterilize the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  with a high-temperature sterilant, such as steam, hydrogen peroxide, ozone, or ethylene oxide. This may result in liquid condensing on the inside of the autoclavable container  12  or the wirelessly chargeable battery disposed therein. After the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is sterilized and removed from an autoclave, the lid  26  retains heat from the autoclave to facilitate drying of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  housed within the autoclavable container  12 . As such, the lid  26  includes a thermal conductivity of greater than or equal to 1 W/(m*K) at 298 Kelvin. In some instances, the lid  26  consists of, or consists essentially of, metal. In other instances, the lid  26  may not include metal. For example, the lid  26  may include a polymeric material. In such instances, the lid  26  may include a material other than metal that still facilitates drying of contents thereof by retaining heat from the autoclave. 
     The base  28  of the autoclavable container  12  includes a material having a glass transition temperature above 140 degrees Celsius. As previously stated, the autoclavable container  12  housing a wirelessly chargeable battery  14  may be placed in an autoclave to sterilize the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  with a high-temperature sterilant. As such, the base  28  includes a material having a glass transition temperature above 140 degrees Celsius because temperatures inside an autoclave can exceed 120 degrees Celsius. 
     The base  28  of the autoclavable container  12  also includes a material permitting the transmission of an electromagnetic wave therethrough. As previously stated, the charging module  16  may receive the autoclavable container  12  and provide charging power to the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . In some instances, the charging power is provided as an electromagnetic wave. Therefore, the base  28  includes a material permitting transmission of electromagnetic waves therethrough to receive the charging power via an electromagnetic wave. As such, the base  28  may include a material comprising a dielectric constant of less than or equal to ten or a dielectric constant less than or equal to five to permit the transmission of electromagnetic waves therethrough. For example, the base  28  may include a polymeric material permitting the transmission of an electromagnetic wave therethrough, such as a plastic. As another example, the base  28  may include a material other than a polymeric material that permits the transmission of an electromagnetic wave therethrough, such as a glass. 
     In one such instance, the material permitting the transmission of an electromagnetic wave therethrough may be a polymeric material and the base  28  may be formed of the polymeric material via injection molding. The polymeric material may comprise the poly(aryl ether sulfone) (P) in a weight amount of at least 10%, at least 30% or at least 50%, based on the total weight of the polymeric material. Preferably, the polymeric material comprises the poly(aryl ether sulfone) (P) in a weight amount of at least 70%, based on the total weight of the polymeric material. More preferably, the polymeric material comprises the poly(aryl ether sulfone) (P) in a weight amount of at least 90%, if not at least 95%, based on the total weight of the polymeric material. Still more preferably, the polymeric material consists essentially of the poly(aryl ether sulfone) (P). The most preferably, it consists essentially of the poly(aryl ether sulfone) (P). The poly(aryl ether sulfone) (P) advantageously has a weight average molecular weight in the range of from 20,000 to 100,000. Preferably, the poly(aryl ether sulfone) (P) has a weight average molecular weight in the range of from 40,000 to 70,000. The weight average molecular weight can be determined by Gel Permeation Chromatography using conventional polystyrene calibration standards. The base  28  may comprise a polyphenylsulfone homopolymer, i.e. a polymer of which essentially (and, preferably, all) the recurring units are of formula (H). RADEL® R polyphenylsulfone from SOLVAY ADVANCED POLYMERS, L.L.C. is an example of a polyphenylsulfone homopolymer. 
     As shown in  FIG. 2A , the autoclavable container  12  may include a latch assembly  48 . One configuration of the latch assembly  48  is illustrated in  FIGS. 4A-4F , wherein the latch ssembly  48  is generally shown and labelled in  FIGS. 4A-5C , and more specifically shown and labelled in  FIGS. 4E and 4F . Other configurations of the latch assembly may also be implemented to fasten the lid  26  to the base  28 . For example, the latch assembly shown in  FIGS. 1-2B , which operates in substantially the same manner as will be described below in connection with the latch assembly  48  shown in  FIGS. 4A-5C . Alternatively, the latch assembly shown in  FIGS. 6A and 6B  may also be utilized. 
     Most generally, the latch assembly  48  allows the user to securely fasten the lid  26  to the base  28  by utilizing mechanical advantage. To this end, the latch assembly  48  may comprise a first body  502 , a lever body  504 , and a clasp body  506 . As will be described in further detail below, the first body  502  may be fixedly coupled to the lid  26 , the lever body  504  may be coupled to the first body  502 , and the clasp body  506  may be coupled to the lever body  504 . In some configurations the first body  502  may be coupled to the base  28  and configured such that the clasp body  506  engages the lid  26  to fasten the base  28  to the lid  26 . Herein, when the lever body  504  is moved such that the latch assembly  48  is moved between the unsecured position and the secured position, the lever body  504  may be said to have moved between the unsecured position and the secured position. 
     By moving the lever body  504  between the secured position and unsecured position, a user may secure/unsecure the lid  26  to/from the base  28  without needing to separately touch the clasp body  506  (described below). Shown in  FIGS. 4A-4D , the base  28  includes a lip  68  integrally formed with the base  28 . This is advantageous because, during transfer of the autoclavable container  12 , the base  28  may contact a non-sterile surface. More generally stated, when removing sterile contents from the autoclavable container  12 , it is advantageous to limit contact between a user and the autoclavable container  12  when removing the sterile contents. As such, because the user may remove the lid  26  of the autoclavable container  12  from the base  28  of the autoclavable container  12  without separately contacting the base  28  and/or the clasp body  506 , the user is able to remove sterile contents from the autoclavable container  12  in a sterile manner. 
     As mentioned above, the first body  502  is fixedly coupled to the lid  26 , and as shown in the figures, may be connected to one of the ends  20  of the lid  26 . Here, the lid  26  includes two latch assemblies  26 , which are arranged on the shorter of two pairs of opposing sides. The first body  502  comprises an outer face  508  that is parallel to the ends  20  of the lid  26  to which the first body  502  is coupled, and two lateral faces  510  that extend from the outer face  508  toward the lid  26 . Several features are defined in the lateral faces  510 , a pivot bore  512  is defined in the first body  502  and extends between each of the lateral faces  510  and defines a pivot axis  514 . The pivot axis  514  is generally parallel to the outer face  508  and configured to receive a pivot shaft  516 , as will be discussed in further detail below. The first body  502  may further define a link slot  518  that extends between each of the lateral faces  510  and is configured to receive a link shaft  520 , also discussed in further detail below. The link slot  518  is radially arranged about the pivot axis  514  such that, when viewed from a direction parallel with the pivot axis  514 , the link slot  518  has an arcuate profile, which is curved about a center point arranged on the pivot axis  514 . Said differently, a centerline of the link slot  518  is defined by a semi-circular arc centered on the pivot axis  514 . In the embodiment illustrated herein, the length of the arc that defines the link slot  518  may be between seventy-five degrees (75°) and one hundred and thirty-five degrees (135°), and in some cases may be between approximately 100° and 120°. Additionally, the first body  502  is configured such that at least a portion of the link slot  518  is arranged between the pivot bore  512  and the lid  26 . 
     Operation of the latch assembly  48  is effected via the lever body  504 . The lever body  504  has a handle portion  522  and a body portion  524 , the handle portion  522  is configured to be grasped by a user in furtherance of operating the latch assembly  48  and the body portion  524  is configured to effect coordinated movement of the latch assembly  48  in response to actuation of the handle portion  522 . The body portion  524  of the lever body  504  may comprise a front wall  526  and two side walls  528 . The side walls  528  extend in a generally perpendicular direction from opposing sides of the front wall  526  toward an edge  530 . The front wall  526  and the side walls  528  may be formed, for example, by bending opposite edges  530  of a flat material to form a U shape. A pair of wings  532  protrude from the front wall  526  in a generally parallel direction to partially form the handle portion  522  of the lever body  504 . A pivot aperture  534  and a link aperture  536  are defined in the body portion  524  of the lever body  504 , each extending through at least one of the side walls  528 . The pivot aperture  534  is configured to receive the pivot shaft  516  and the link aperture  536  is configured to receive the link shaft  520 . A recess  562  may further be defined in one or both of the side walls  528 . The recess  562  shown in  FIG. 4E  extends through the side wall  528 , however the recess may be a dimple, having localized area of reduced thickness disposed on only one side of one or both of the side walls  528 , or a dimple that produces a raised feature on one side of one or both of the side walls  528  resulting from deformation of the opposing side of the respective side wall  528 . 
     The lever body  504 , being coupled to the first body  502 , is configured to move in a pivoting motion relative to the first body  502  between a secured position and an unsecured position. The lever body  504  is disposed on the first body  502  with the side walls  528  positioned adjacent to the lateral faces  510  of the first body  502  such that the pivot aperture  534  in the side walls  528  are aligned with the pivot bore  512  of the first body  502 . The pivot shaft  516  is inserted through the pivot bore  512  and the pivot apertures  534 , thereby pivotably coupling the lever body  504  to the first body  502 . Turning now to  FIGS. 4B-4D , the lever body  504  is shown in a secured position (FIG.  4 B), an intermediate position ( FIG. 4C ), and an unsecured position ( FIG. 4D ). The lever body  504  is pivotable relative to the first body  502  about the pivot axis  514  between the secured position and the unsecured position. The secured position is generally defined by the lever body  504  being arranged approximately parallel to the outer face  508  of the first body  502 , and the handle portion  522  spaced relatively near the base  28  of the sterilization container  12 . The unsecured position is generally defined by the lever body  504  being arranged approximately perpendicular to the outer face  508  of the first body  502 , and the handle portion  522  spaced relatively far from the base  28  of the sterilization container  12 . Said differently, the handle portion  522  is positioned closer to the lid base  28  in the secured position than in the unsecured position. While parallel and perpendicular are used to generally describe the position the lever body  504  with respect to other features of the latch assembly  48 , they are merely terms of description rather than precise measurements of the position of the specific components to which they are referencing. In this way, it is contemplated that in the secured position the front wall  526  of the lever body  504  could be at an angle that is within approximately 30° of parallel to the outer face  508  of the first body  502 . Likewise, in the unsecured position the front wall  526  of the lever body  504  could be at an angle that is within approximately 30° of perpendicular to the outer face  508  of the first body  502 . 
     In addition to being disposed in both the pivot bore  512  and the pivot aperture  534 , the length of the pivot shaft  516  is such that a head portion  538  protrudes from the pivot aperture  534  away from the first body  502 . The pivot shaft  516  may have two head portions  538  (only one shown) arranged on opposing sides of the pivot shaft  516  such that each head portion  538  protrudes from one of the pivot apertures  534  in a direction away from the lateral faces  510  of the first body and the side walls of the lever body  504 . The pivot shaft  516  may be secured in position or to either of the lever body  504  and/or the first body  502  via several methods. For example, one exemplary method may utilize a press first between the pivot shaft  516  and the pivot bore  512  such that the lever body  504  pivots relative to the pivot shaft  516 . Alternatively, a press fit between the pivot shaft  516  and the pivot aperture  534  may be utilized such that the pivot shaft  516  moves with the lever body  504  relative to the first body  502 . Further methods, such as staking, fasteners, welding, and the like may also be utilized either in the alternative or in combination. 
     Movement of the lever body  504  is transferred to the base  28  via the clasp body  506 , which is coupled to the lever body  504 . The clasp body  506  has an interface end  540  and a link end  542 . The interface end  540  is configured to engage the lip  68  of the base  28  for tensioning the lid  26  toward the base  28 . The link end  542  defines a link bore  544 , which is configured to receive the link shaft  520  such that the clasp body  506  is coupled to the lever body  504  and movable about the link shaft  520 . Movement of the link end  542  of the clasp body  506  corresponds to movement of the link aperture  536  in the lever body  504 , which moves along a semi-circular arc within the link slot  518  as the lever body  504  moves between the secured position and the unsecured position. As shown in  FIG. 4D , the clasp body  506  further comprises two side portions  546  with a pocket  548  defined therebetween. The side portions  546  extend between the interface end  540  and the link end  542  and are spaced so as to receive a portion of the lever body  504  in the pocket  548  as the lever body  504  is moved toward the secured position. 
     In some configurations, the link bore  544  may be formed on the link end  542  of the clasp body  506  by bending an end of each of the side portions  546  around and back toward the interface end  540  at a radius suitable to receive the link shaft  520 . The interface end  540  may be similarly bent to form a hooked profile  550  that is suitable to engage the lip  68  of the base  28  such that when the clasp body  506  is engaging the base  28  and the lever body  504  is in the secured position the interface end  540  is not readily disengaged. In other instances, such as instances wherein the interface end  540  does not include the hooked profile  550  and/or the base  28  does not include the lip  68 , the interface end  540  may be configured to engage with the base  28  via alternative means. 
     As mentioned above, the link shaft  520  is disposed in the link slot  518 , the link aperture  536 , and the link bore  544 . Similar to the pivot shaft  516  described above, the link shaft  520  may be secured to the link aperture  536  or the link bore  544  by various methods such as, for example, a press fit, welding, fasteners, adhesives, and the like. For example, one exemplary method may utilize a press first between the link shaft  520  and the link bore  544  such that the lever body  504  moves freely on the link shaft  520 . Alternatively, a press fit between the link shaft  520  and the link aperture  536  may be utilized such that the clasp body  506  moves freely on the link shaft  520 . 
     Referring again to the side views shown in  FIGS. 4B-4D , where the latch assembly  48  is shown in the secured position, the intermediate position, and the unsecured position along with corresponding movement of the clasp body  506 . Movement of the lever body  504  toward the unsecured position moves the clasp body  506  to disengage the interface end  540  from the lip  68  of the base  28 . As the lever body  504  is pivoted the link shaft  520  moves in a semi-circular arc, such that the link shaft  520  moves from a position generally above the pivot shaft  516  to a position generally below the pivot shaft  516  and the link end  542  of the clasp body  506  moves in a downward direction. Movement of the clasp body  506  can be defined relative to the head portion  538  of the pivot shaft  516 . Specifically, the head portion  538  of the pivot shaft  516  is spaced from the clasp body  506  when the lever body  504  is in the secured position and as the lever body  504  is pivoted away from the secured position the head portion  538  engages the clasp body  506  such that as the lever body  504  is further pivoted toward the unsecured position the head portion  538  moves the interface end  540  away from the base  28 . More specifically, the intermediate position of the lever body  504  may be defined at a position where the link shaft  520  and the pivot shaft  516  are at the same height, shown in  FIG. 4C . At this intermediate position the head portion  538  of the pivot shaft  516  engages one of the side portions  546  of the clasp body  506  and as the lever body  504  is further pivoted toward the unsecured position the clasp body  506  pivots around the pivot shaft  516  and the interface end  540  moves away from the base  28 . Alternatively, in the intermediate position movement of the lever body  504  toward the secured position causes the head portion  538  to become spaced from the clasp body  506  such that the hooked profile  550  can engage the lip  68  of the base  28 . 
     The latch assembly  48  may further comprise a detent assembly  552  disposed on the first body  502  and abutting the lever body  504  for limiting free movement of the lever body  504  from the unsecured position and the secured position. Specifically, the detent assembly  552  may be disposed on one of the lateral faces  510  of the first body  502  and protrude in a direction generally perpendicular to the lateral face  510 . Said differently, a portion of the detent assembly  552  may be raised above the surface of the lateral face  510  at a distance such that the detent assembly contacts the lever body  504 . 
     As mentioned above, the detent assembly  552  limits free movement of the lever body  504 , which is effected via engagement between the detent assembly  552  and the lever body  504 . To this end, the detent assembly  552  may comprise an outwardly oriented ball  564  or other detent element, a spring (not shown), and a housing. The ball  564  is movably supported by the housing and biased toward the lever body  504  by the spring. Contact between the ball  564  and the lever body  504  may displace the ball  564  into the housing and compresses the spring. When the lever body  504  is in the secured position the ball contacts the lever body  504  at the recess  562  and when the lever body  504  is in the unsecured position the ball  564  contacts the lever body  504  at one of the edges  520 . In order to move the lever body  504  away from the secured position the ball  564 , being engaged with the recess  562 , must be displaced further into the housing in order to disengage from the recess  562 , which generally requires a greater amount of force than is required to move the lever body  504  once the ball  564  is already compressed. Similarly, when the lever body  504  is in the unsecured position, the side wall  528  begins to uncover the detent assembly  552  such that the ball  564  moves outwardly to engage the edge  530  of the side wall  528 , thereby requiring the ball  564  to be again displaced inwardly when the lever body  504  is moved out of the unsecured position and increasing the force required to an amount sufficient to limit free movement. 
     Attaching and detaching the lid  26  from the base  28  is advantageously performed simultaneously with actuation of the latch assembly  48  because motion of the lever body  504  shares a component direction with the direction that the lid  26  moves relative to the base  28  during attaching and detaching. Owing to the configuration of the latch assembly  48 , movement of the handle portion  522  to engage the lid  26  with the base  28  is continuous with pivoting of the lever body  504  from the unsecured position to the secured position, therefore the lid  26  can be coupled to the base  28  with a single motion. Specifically, with the lever body  504  in the unsecured position a user grasps the handle portion  522  and moves the lid  26  downward to engage the base  28 , upon engagement of the lid and the base  28  the user continues with the downward motion to pivot the lever body  504  from the unsecured position to the secured position, thereby moving the clasp body  506  into engagement with the base  28  and securing the lid  26  to the base  28 . 
     The latch assembly  48  is configured to effect disengaging the lid  26  from the base  28  in a similarly continuous movement. Pivoting the lever body  504  toward the unsecured position to effect disengagement of the interface end  540  of the clasp body  506  from the lip  68  of the base  28  is continuous with movement of the handle portion  522  to disengage the lid  26  from the base  28 . Specifically, with the lever body  504  in the secured position as shown in  FIG. 4B , a user grasps the handle portion  522  and pivots the lever body  504  toward the unsecured position as shown in  FIG. 4C , causing the interface end  540  of the clasp body  506  to move downward and disengage from the lip  68 . In the intermediate position, the link end  542  of the clasp body  506  has moved downward such that one of the side portions  546  contacts the head portion  538  of the pivot shaft  516 . As the user continues to move the lever body  504  toward the unsecured position the handle portion  522  moves upwardly, which causes the link end  542  to correspondingly move downward. Due to the contact between the clasp body  506  and the pivot shaft  516 , the interface end  540  moves outwardly away from the lip  68 , and upon reaching the unsecured position as shown in  FIG. 4D  the user continues with the upward movement to lift the lid  26  away from the base  28 . Due to the contact between the clasp body  506  and the pivot shaft  516  which causes coordinated movement between the lever body  504  and the clasp body  506 , the user is not required to perform a secondary step of disengaging the interface end  540 , and as such can remove and attach the lid  26  to the base  28  by only contacting the handle portion  522  of the lever body  504 . 
     Referring now to  FIGS. 5A-5C , in some instances, a frangible sealing element  72  may be coupled to the latch assembly  48 . The frangible sealing element  72  may be configured to indicate whether the latch assembly  48  is in the unsecured position or the secured position. For instance, in  FIGS. 5A and 5B , the latch assembly  48  is in the secured position and the frangible sealing element  72  is disposed within the latch assembly  48  and locked, indicating that the lid  26  is sealably coupled to the base  28 . In  FIG. 5C , the frangible sealing element  72  is sheared when the lever body  504  is moved to the unsecured position, indicating that the lid  26  is no longer sealably coupled to the base  28  and the lid  26  may be removed from the base  28 . 
     In instances where the frangible sealing element  72  may be coupled to the latch assembly  48 , such as the instances of  FIGS. 5A-5C , the first body  502  may include a flange  554  extending away from the lid  26 . The flange  554  may have a tab portion  556  that defines a security aperture  558 . The lever body  504  may further define a shear aperture  560  arranged on the body portion  524  and extending through the front wall  526 . The shear aperture  560  is arranged such that as the lever body  504  is moved toward the secured position the shear aperture  560  receives the tab portion  556  of the flange  554  and in the unsecured position the shear aperture  560  is spaced from the tab portion  556 . 
     By moving the lever body  504  from the secured position shown in  FIGS. 5A and 5B , to the unsecured position shown in  FIG. 5C , the shear aperture  560  of the lever body  504  severs the frangible sealing element  72 . As shown in  FIGS. 5A and 5B , when the lever body  504  is moved to the secured position, the shear aperture  560  of the lever body  504  engages the tab portion  556  of the first body  502 . When the lever body  504  is moved to the unsecured position, shown in  FIG. 5C , the shear aperture  560  is spaced from the tab portion  556 . Furthermore, the frangible sealing element  72  is disposed in the security aperture  558  of the first body  502 . As such, in  FIGS. 5A and 5B , the lever body  504  is moved to the secured position and the frangible sealing element  72  is disposed in the security aperture  558  and locked in place. In  FIG. 5C , the frangible sealing element  72  is severed by the shear aperture  560  when the lever body  504  is moved to the unsecured position. 
     The frangible sealing element  72  may include any material that the shear aperture  560  can sever. For example, the frangible sealing element may include a plastic. Additionally, the frangible sealing element  72  in  FIG. 5B  is configured to lock. As shown, the frangible sealing element  72  may include a receiver  71  and a tab  73 . As shown in  FIG. 5B , the tab may be inserted into the receiver  71  and may be locked into place. However, in other instances, the frangible sealing element  72  may be disposed within the aperture  72  without locking. 
       FIG. 3  is a schematic diagram describing a method of removing sterile contents, such as one or more wirelessly chargeable batteries  14 , housed in the autoclavable container  12  in a sterile manner. As shown, the method includes a step  80  of pivoting the handle portion  522  of the lever body  504  of the latch assembly  48  about the first body  502  fixedly coupled to the lid  26  such that the lever body  504  moves from the secured position shown in  FIG. 4B  to the unsecured position shown in  FIG. 4D . Also during step  80 , in response to pivoting the handle portion  522  of the lever body  504  from the secured position to the unsecured position, the clasp body  506  of the latch assembly  48  disengages from the base  28  of the autoclavable container  12  and moves outwardly away from the base  28 . After step  80 , the method then proceeds to a step  82  of lifting the lid  26  off the base  28  by lifting the lever body  504  without contacting the base  28  to provide access to the sterile contents within the volume  30  of the base  28 . The method then proceeds to a step  84  of removing the sterile contents without contacting the base  28 . 
     The autoclavable container  12  may include a variety of features to aid in removing sterile contents housed in the autoclavable container  12  in a sterile manner during the above-stated method. For instance, the lever body  504  may be prevented from pivoting more than 110° from the lid  26  such that the autoclavable container  12  may be lifted by the lever body  504  during step  80 . Additionally, in an instance where the sterile contents are the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 , a height of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 , labelled as h battery  in  FIG. 2B , is greater than a depth of the base (which may also be referred to herein as a “height of the base”), labelled as h base  in  FIG. 2B . As such, during step  84 , the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  may be removed from the autoclavable container  12  and the base  28  without contacting the base  28 . In some instances, the sum of a depth of the lid  26 , h lid  in  FIG. 2B , and the depth of the base  28 , h base , may be substantially equivalent to the height of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 , h battery . In such instances, to ensure that the height of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 , h battery , is greater than the depth of the base  28 , h base , the autoclavable container  12  is manufactured such that the depth of the lid  26 , h lid , is greater than the depth of the base  28 , h base . 
     In various instances, the latch assembly  48  may vary. Additionally, as previously stated, while the base  28  includes a lip  68  and the interface end  540  of the clasp body  506  includes a hooked profile  550 , in other instances the interface end  540  may not include the hooked profile  550  and/or the base  28  may not include the lip  68 . In such instances, the interface end  540  may be configured to engage with the base  28  via alternative means. 
     The autoclavable container  12  may include an aperture or a plurality of apertures  32  configured to allow a sterilant to permeate the autoclavable container  12 .  FIG. 6A  illustrates an outer surface  27  of the lid  26  of the autoclavable container  12  and as shown, the lid  26  defines the plurality of apertures  32 . Furthermore, as shown in  FIG. 6B , the lid may include a mount  34  for receiving a filter  36  defining a microbial barrier  40 . In  FIG. 6B , the filter  36  faces an interior of the autoclavable container  12  to prevent or minimize an amount of contaminants that may otherwise enter the interior of the autoclavable container  12  through the plurality of apertures  32 . For example, the filter  36  may cooperate with the lid  26  and the base  28  of the autoclavable container  12  to maintain sterility of the volume  30  after the entire autoclavable container  12  has been sterilized. Thus, the volume  30  may be maintained in a sterile state even when the autoclavable container  12  is moved to a non-sterile location, so long as the lid  26  and the base  28  remained sealed. In some instances, the base  28  may define a plurality of apertures  32  and may include a mount  34  for receiving a filter  36 . 
     As shown in  FIG. 6C , the base  28  of the autoclavable container  12  may include a plurality of receptacles  42  shaped to receive a wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . While  FIG. 6C  illustrates the autoclavable container  12  having two receptacles  42 , any suitable number of receptacles  42  may be provided in the autoclavable container  12  for receiving the one or more wirelessly chargeable batteries  14 . For example, in one instance, the autoclavable container  12  may only include a single receptacle  42  for receiving a single wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . In some instances, the autoclavable container  12  may omit the receptacles  42 . Additionally, the receptacle  42  may receive a portion of the one or more wirelessly chargeable batteries  14  within walls  43  of the receptacle. 
     As shown in  FIG. 6D , the base  28  of the autoclavable container  12  may include a plurality of protrusions  44 , which may be aligned with a corresponding receptacle  42 . A protrusion  44  is defined by an outer surface  27  of the autoclavable container  12  and may be aligned with a corresponding receptacle  42 . For instance, the protrusions  44  in  FIG. 6D  are defined by an outer surface  29  of the base  28  and are aligned with a receptacle  42 . As such, in an instance where a wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is inserted within a receptacle  42 , the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  also becomes aligned with a corresponding protrusion  44 . In some instances, the autoclavable container  12  may omit the protrusions  44 . 
     The protrusions  44  of the base  28  allow the autoclavable container  12  to be placed on the charging module  16 . As will be described further herein, the charging module  16  may include charging bays  46  (shown in  FIG. 11A ) shaped, i.e., inset, to receive a protrusion  44  of the autoclavable container  12 . As such, each protrusion  44  is sized and shaped such that each protrusion  44  may be placed onto a corresponding charging bay  46  of the charging module  16  to align the autoclavable container  12  and contents therein on the charging module  16 . As previously stated, in an instance where a wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is inserted within a receptacle  42 , the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  becomes aligned with a corresponding protrusion  44 . Therefore, by positioning the protrusions  44  of the autoclavable container  12  within charging bays  46  of the charging module  16 , the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is aligned with a charging bay  46 , such that charging power may be transferred from the charging module  16  to the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . In some instances, the autoclavable container  12  may include a protrusion  44  even if the autoclavable container  12  does not include a receptacle  42 , such that the autoclavable container  12  may be placed on the charging module  16  and aligned accordingly. 
     Additionally, while  FIG. 6D  illustrates the autoclavable container  12  having two protrusions  44  corresponding to the two receptacles  42 , any suitable number of protrusions  44  may be provided on the autoclavable container  12  for placing the autoclavable container  12  on the charging module  16 . For example, in one instance, the autoclavable container  12  may only include a single protrusion  44  for placing the autoclavable container  12  on the charging module  16  and for aligning a single wirelessly chargeable battery  14  with a charging bay  46 . In some instances, the autoclavable container  12  may omit the protrusions  44 . 
     Referring back to  FIG. 6C , the plurality of receptacles  42  include a floor  86 . Additionally, each receptacle  42  may include a plurality of standoffs  88  extending from the floor  86 . For instance, in  FIG. 6C , each receptacle  42  includes four standoffs  88 . The standoffs  88  are configured such that a wirelessly chargeable battery  14  received by a receptacle  42  contact the standoffs  88  such that the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is spaced from the floor  86 . In this way, sterilant can be circulated underneath the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  when the autoclavable container  12  is placed in an autoclave and sterilized. This may also enable improved drying of the wireless chargeable battery  14  after the autoclave cycle is complete. 
     As such, in instances where the autoclavable container  12  includes a plurality of receptacles  42  including the plurality of standoffs  88 , a method of sterilizing the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  may be executed. The method includes a step of positioning the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  on the plurality of standoffs  88  such that a bottom surface of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is spaced from the floor  86  of the receptacle; a step of placing the autoclavable container  12  in an autoclave; and a step of sterilizing the autoclavable container  12  such that a sterilant contacts the bottom surface of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . 
     In various instances, a number, an arrangement, a shape, and a size of standoffs  88  may vary. For example, each receptacle  42  may include any suitable number of standoffs  88 . In  FIG. 6C , each receptacle  42  includes four standoffs  88 , however in other instances, each receptacle  42  may include greater or lesser number of standoffs  88 . Additionally, the standoffs  88  may be arranged in any suitable fashion, e.g. in a rectangular fashion as shown in  FIG. 6C , a triangular fashion, a circular fashion, or any other suitable fashion. The standoffs  88  may have any shape, e.g. a spherical shape as shown in  FIG. 6C , a pyramidal shape, a cuboid shape, or any other suitable shape. Additionally, the standoffs  88  may be of any suitable size. For example, the standoffs  88  may have a different size and height in comparison to the receptacle  42  than the standoffs  88  shown in  FIG. 6C . Furthermore, each standoff  88  of a receptacle  42  may be of a different size, height, and may be spaced from one another such that sterilant can move between the standoffs  88 . The standoffs  88  may also extend from or be disposed on a bottom surface of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  such that the standoffs  88  contact the floor  86  of the receptacle  42  when the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is received by a receptacle  42 . Finally, the autoclavable container  12  may omit the standoffs  88 . 
     A size of the standoffs  88  may be selected in view of sterilizing the wirelessly chargeable battery  12 . For instance, a shape or a size of the standoffs  88  may be selected based on an area on a bottom surface of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  contacted by the standoffs  88  such that the sterilant is able to contact most of the bottom surface of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . For example, the area on the bottom surface of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  contacted by the standoffs  88  may be less than 25%, 20%, 15%, 10%, or 5% of the area of the bottom surface of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . As such, a majority of a bottom surface of the battery is exposed to the sterilant during the autoclave process. Specifically, greater than 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, or 95% of the area of the bottom surface may be exposed to the sterilant. 
     A height of the standoffs  88  may be selected in view of charging the wirelessly chargeable battery  12 . As previously stated, the power antenna  194  of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is placed within a proximity of the induction coil  130  of the charging module  16 . In some instances, the smaller the distance between the power antenna  194  and the induction coil  130 , the more efficiently the induction coil  130  is able to transfer charging power to the power antenna  194 . In other instances, there is a threshold distance between the power antenna  194  and the induction coil  130  such that the induction coil  194  less efficiently transfers charging power to the power antenna  194  at distances greater than the threshold distance. In both instances, the height of the standoffs  88  may be selected accordingly. For example, the height of the standoffs  88  may be minimized in order to maximize efficiency of the charging power transfer between the power antenna  194  and the induction coil  130 , while still allowing sterilant to contact the bottom surface of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . As another example, the height of the standoffs  88  may be selected based on the threshold distance in order to preserve an efficiency of the charging power transfer between the power antenna  194  and the induction coil  130 , while still allowing sterilant to contact the bottom surface of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . For instance, the height of the standoffs  88  may be no greater than 4 millimeters to allow sterilant to contact the bottom surface of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  and preserve an efficiency of charging power transfer of greater than 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, or 90%. 
     The autoclavable container  12  may also include alignment features, such as a web  89 , shown in  FIGS. 6E-6F . The web  89  is configured to align the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  within a receptacle  42  such that the power antenna  194  and the induction coil  130  are aligned when the receptacle  42  receives the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  and the autoclavable container  12  is disposed on the wireless charging device  16 . 
     In  FIG. 6E , the base  28  includes the web  89  extending between the floor  86  and the inner surface  33 . When the receptacle  42  receives the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  and the autoclavable container  12  is disposed on the wireless charging device  14 , the housing of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  contacts the web  89  such that power antenna  194  and the induction coil  130  are aligned. In  FIG. 6E , the web  89  is sloped downward from the inner surface  33  to the floor  86 . 
     In  FIGS. 6E and 6F , the base  28  also includes additional alignment features, such as ramps  89 ′ that extend between the floor  86  and the standoffs  88 . As shown, the receptacle  42  comprises a plurality of standoffs  88  corresponding to a plurality of ramps  89 ′. Each ramp  89 ′ extends between the floor  86  and a corresponding standoff  88 . As shown, the ramps  89 ′ of  FIG. 6F  are sloped downward from a peak of the standoff  88  to the floor  86 . In some instances, the base  28  may include the ramps  89 ′ and omit the web  89  that extends between the floor  86  and the inner surface  33   
     The ramps  89 ′ are configured to align the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  within the receptacle  42  such that the power antenna  194  and the induction coil  130  are aligned when the receptacle  42  receives the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  and the autoclavable container  12  is disposed on the wireless charging device  16 . In some instances, the ramps  89 ′ align a wirelessly chargeable battery  14  that is disposed within the receptacle  42  but is not aligned properly (the power antenna  194  and the induction coil  130  are not aligned). For example, the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  may be disposed in the receptacle  42  such that a corner of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is disposed between the standoffs  88  and the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . In such an instance, the wireless chargeable battery  14  contacts at least one of the ramps  89 ′ and, when the autoclavable container  12  is moved, the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  may slide along the at least one ramp  89 ′ until the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is no longer contacting the ramps  89 ′. When the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is no longer contacting the ramps  89 ′, the power antenna  194  and the induction coil  130  are aligned. 
     In  FIG. 6G , the wirelessly chargeable battery  12  includes an alignment feature, such as the rib  89 ″ protruding from a housing  108  of the wirelessly chargeable battery  12 . In instances where the base  28  does not include the web  89 , the rib  89 ″ of the wirelessly chargeable battery  12  contacts the receptacle  42  and aligns the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  within the receptacle  42 . In instances where the base  28  also includes the web  89 , the rib  89 ″ of the wirelessly chargeable battery  12  and the web  89  of the base  28  cooperate to align the wirelessly chargeable battery  12  within the receptacle  42 . 
     It should be noted that the base  28  may include any number of alignment features. In other instances, other components of the autoclavable container  12  may also include alignment features. For example, the lid  26  may additionally or alternatively include a web such that the power antenna  194  and the induction coil  130  are aligned when the lid  26  is coupled to the base  28  and the autoclavable container  12  is disposed on the wireless charging device  14 . 
     In some instances, a removable tray may be disposed within the autoclavable container  12 . For example, in the instance of  FIGS. 7A and 7B , a removable tray  90  is disposed within the base  28 . In such instances, one or more wirelessly chargeable batteries  14  may be placed on the removable tray  90  such that the removable tray  90  receives the wirelessly chargeable batteries  14 , and the removable tray  90  may be disposed within the autoclavable container  12  to dispose the wirelessly chargeable batteries  14  within the base  28 . The removable tray  90  may be removed from autoclavable container  12 , as shown in  FIG. 7C , to remove the wirelessly chargeable batteries  14  from the base  28 . As such, the removable tray  90  allows the one or more wirelessly chargeable batteries  14  to be disposed within the autoclavable container  12  prior to being sterilized and for the one or more wirelessly chargeable batteries  14  to be removed from the autoclavable container  12  after the one or more wirelessly chargeable batteries  14  are sterilized. 
     As shown in  FIG. 7D , the removable tray  90  includes a periphery  92 , which includes an opening  94 . As such, the periphery  92  of the removable tray  90  may be referred to as an open periphery  92 . The removable tray  90  may include any suitable number of openings  94 . As shown in  FIG. 7D , the removable tray  90  includes two openings  94 . The opening  94  permits transmission of electromagnetic waves, even if the removable tray  90  includes a material that may inhibit transmission of electromagnetic waves, such as a metal. The opening  94  may be of any size suitable for permitting the transmission of electromagnetic waves. 
       FIGS. 7E and 7F  illustrate how the opening  94  permits the transmission of electromagnetic waves in instances where the removable tray  90  includes a material that may inhibit transmission of electromagnetic waves. To illustrate how the opening  94  permits the transmission of electromagnetic waves, an induction coil  130  of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is shown, the induction coil  130  being configured to receive charging power. Additionally, a power antenna  194  of a charging bay  46  of the charging module  16  is shown, the power antenna  194  being configured to transmit charging power to the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  when the induction coil  130  is within a proximity of the power antenna  194 . In  FIGS. 7E and 7F , the power antenna is illustrated as a charging coil. Furthermore, the removable tray  90  in  FIG. 7E  does not include the opening  94  and, as such, the periphery  92  is not an open periphery. In contrast, the removable tray  90  in  FIG. 7F  includes the opening  94  and the open periphery  92 . 
     Additionally, magnetic field lines are shown in  FIGS. 7E and 7F  to illustrate a magnetic field  96  generated by the power antenna  194 . The power antenna  194  generates the magnetic field  96 , which induces a current in the induction coil  130  of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 , providing charging power to the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . The relationship between the magnetic field  96  and the induced current in the induction coil  130  being that the greater an intensity of the magnetic field  96 , the greater a magnitude of the induced current in the induction coil  130 . When the magnetic field  96  flows through a material that inhibits transmission of electromagnetic waves, the magnetic field  96  induces eddy currents, such as the eddy currents  98  shown in  FIG. 7E . In response, the eddy currents  98  generate a magnetic field  100 , which opposes the direction of the magnetic field  96 , attenuating an intensity of an overall magnetic field flowing through the indicative coil  130 . Accordingly, because the intensity of an overall magnetic field flowing through the induction coil  130  is attenuated, the magnitude of the induced current in the induction coil  130  decreases, providing less charging power to the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . 
     In  FIGS. 7E and 7F , the magnetic field  96  flows through the removable tray  90 , which, as previously stated, may include a material that inhibits transmission of electromagnetic waves. However, because the periphery  92  of the removable tray  90  in  FIG. 7E  does not include the opening  94  and the periphery  92  of the removable tray  90  in  FIG. 7F  does include the opening  94 , more of the magnetic field  96  flows through the removable tray  90  and the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  receives more charging power. To explain, when the magnetic field  96  flows through the removable tray  90  of  FIG. 7E , more eddy currents, such as the eddy currents  98  shown in  FIG. 7E , are induced by the magnetic field  96  and less charging power is provided to the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . This is because the eddy currents  98  generate an induced magnetic field  99  that opposes the direction of the magnetic field  96 . Therefore, because the opening  94  of the periphery  92  permits the transmission of electromagnetic waves, such as the magnetic field  96  generated by the power antenna  194 , fewer eddy currents  98  are generated and more charging power is provided to the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  (in comparison to an instance where the removable tray  90  does not include the opening  94 , such as  FIG. 7E ). 
     In  FIG. 7D , the removable tray  90  includes a support member  102  defining a void  104  adjacent the opening  94 . Referring to  FIG. 7C , the void  104  may be sized to receive a portion of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . As shown, the void  104  is sized such that the portion  15  of the chargeable battery  14  received by the removable tray  90  is below the support member  102  when the removable tray  90  is removed from the autoclavable container  12 . The removable tray  90  may include any suitable number of support members  102  and corresponding voids  104 . For example, in  FIG. 7D , the removable tray  90  includes two support members  102  and two corresponding voids  104  configured to receive two wirelessly chargeable batteries  14 . 
     In instances where the base  28  includes a protrusion  44 , the void  104  may be positioned directly above the protrusion  44  when the removable tray  90  is disposed within the base  28 . In  FIG. 7D , an outline of the protrusion  44  is shown in phantom and the void  104  is illustrated as being positioned directly above the protrusion  44 . In this way, the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  received by the void  104  is positioned directly above the protrusion  44  when the removable tray  90  is disposed within the base  28 . As previously stated, the protrusions  44  are positioned within charging bays  46  of the charging module  16 . As such, the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  received by the removable tray  90  is aligned with a charging bay  46  when the removable tray  90  is disposed within the base  28  such that charging power may be transferred from the charging module  16  to the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . 
     In instances where the base  28  defines a receptacle  42  shaped to receive a wirelessly chargeable battery  14 , the void  104  may be positioned directly above the receptacle  42  when the removable tray  90  is disposed within the base  28 , as shown in  FIG. 7D . In this way, the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  received by the void  104  is received by the receptacle  42  when the removable tray  90  is disposed within the base  28 . For example, in  FIG. 7A , the wirelessly chargeable batteries  14  are received by the receptacles  42  when the removable tray  90  is disposed within the base  28 . As previously stated, the receptacles  42  are aligned with the protrusions  44  such that a wirelessly chargeable battery  14  inserted within a receptacle  42  also becomes aligned with a corresponding protrusion  44 . As such, the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  received by the removable tray  90  is received by a receptacle  42 , aligned with a corresponding protrusion  44 , and aligned with a charging bay  46  when the removable tray  90  is disposed within the base  28  such that charging power may be transferred from the charging module  16  to the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . 
     In instances where the base  28  defines a receptacle  42 , the receptacle  42  may also include the previously-described floor  86  and the previously-described standoff  88 , as shown in  FIGS. 7A, 7C, and 7D . In such instances, the void  104  may be positioned directly above the receptacle  42  when the removable tray  90  is disposed the base  28 , as shown in  FIG. 7D . In this way, the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  received by the void  104  is received by the receptacle  42  and contacts a standoff  88  when the removable tray  90  is disposed within the base  28 , as shown in  FIG. 7A . As such, when the removable tray  90  is disposed within the base  28 , the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is received by a receptacle  42  and charging power may be transferred from the charging module  16  to the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . Furthermore, the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is spaced from the floor  86  of the receptacle  42  to allow circulation of a sterilant underneath the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . 
     As previously stated, the void  104  may be sized such that a portion of a wirelessly chargeable battery  14  may be disposed within the void  104 . For example, in  FIG. 7C , the portion  15  of a wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is disposed within the void  104  of the removable tray  90 . In such an instance, the receptacle  42  receives the portion  15  of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 , as shown in  FIG. 7A , and the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is disposed on the plurality of standoffs  88  when the removable tray  90  is disposed in the base  28 . In instances where the base  28  does not include the plurality of standoffs  88  and a wirelessly chargeable battery  14  may be disposed within the void  104 , the void  104  may be sized such that the portion  15  of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  received by the removable tray  90  is received by a receptacle  42  and spaced from the floor  86  of the receptacle  42 . As such, in instances where the base  28  does not include the plurality of standoffs  88 , a size of the void  104  may still allow circulation of a sterilant underneath the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . 
       FIG. 7C  illustrates an instance where the removable tray  90  is removed from the base  28  and the removable tray  90  removes a wirelessly chargeable battery  14  received by the removable tray  90  from the base  28 . As shown in  FIG. 7C , the support member  102  of the removable tray  90  contacts the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  when the removable tray  90  is removed from the base  28 . In this way, the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is removed from the base  28  when the removable tray  90  is removed from the base  28 . 
     It should be noted that  FIG. 7C  also illustrates an instance where the removable tray  90  is being disposed within the base  28 . As such, the support member  102  of the removable tray  90  also contacts the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  when the removable tray  90  is being disposed within the base  28 . 
     In some instances, such as the instance of  FIG. 7B , when the removable tray  90  and the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  received by the removable tray  90  are disposed within the base  28 , the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  are received by the receptacle  42  and the removable tray  90  contacts the base  28  and no longer contacts the wirelessly chargeable batteries  14 . For example, as shown in  FIG. 7B , the support member  92  no longer contacts the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  when the removable tray  90  is disposed within the base  28 . Additionally, the portion  15  of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is no longer below the support member  92 . As such, when the removable tray  90  is removed from the base  28 , the removable tray  90  contacts the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  to remove the wirelessly chargeable batteries  14  from the base  28 . 
     Advantageously, because the removable tray  90  contacts the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  when the removable tray  90  is removed from or being disposed within the base  28 , a user need not physically contact the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . Therefore, a user does not risk compromising a sterile state of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  when the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is removed from or being disposed within the base  28 . 
     The removable tray  90  may also include a variety of features. For example, as shown in  FIGS. 7A-7D , the removable tray  90  may include one or more handles  106  that enable the removable tray  90  to be easily grasped and disposed within and removed from the autoclavable container  12 . In some instances, the removable tray  90  may define a plurality of apertures, which allow a sterilant to circulate within the autoclavable container  12 . In this way, the removable tray  90  does not inhibit circulation of a sterilant when the autoclavable container  12  is placed in an autoclave and sterilized. 
     In some instances, at least a portion of the autoclavable container  12  is at least partially transparent, translucent, and/or non-opaque to enable a user to view the wirelessly chargeable batteries  14  within receptacles  42  and/or a status of batteries  14 . For example, in some instances, the wirelessly chargeable batteries  14  may include a battery status indicator, such as an LED, that indicates a state of charge and/or a state of health of battery. In such instances, the autoclavable container  12  may include a transparent portion or the autoclavable container  12  may be at least partially transparent, such that the battery status indicator may be viewable through the transparent portion when the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is placed within a receptacle  42 . 
     An example wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is shown in  FIGS. 8A-8E . As shown, in  FIG. 8A , the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  includes a housing  108 . The housing  108  includes a top portion  110  and a bottom portion  112 . The top portion  110  and the bottom portion  112  may be sealably coupled such that the top portion  110  and the bottom portion  112  form an autoclavable housing. 
     The top portion  110  may be formed with a battery head  114 . The battery head  114  may be dimensioned to fit in the aft end of a tool housing  118  of a surgical tool  116 , as shown in  FIG. 8B . The surgical tool  116  is further described in PCT International Application No. PCT/US2018/052854, entitled “SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR WIRELESSLY CHARGING A MEDICAL DEVICE BATTERY”, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. 
     The components of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  described herein may be positioned within the housing  108 . As shown in  FIGS. 8A and 8C , the housing  108  may include a cover  150 , that may be welded to the housing  108  to form a unitary structure to form a seamless bond. In addition, a seal  152 , also shown in  FIGS. 8A and 8C , may be positioned between housing  108  and cover  150  to form a hermetic barrier between cover  150  and housing  108 . The seal  152  may be formed of a material that is autoclavable and, optionally, compressible. For example, seal  152  may include EPDM rubber or silicon rubber. 
     The housing  108  of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  may include a material suitable for autoclave cycles. The wirelessly chargeable battery  14 , including components of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  positioned within the housing  108 , the housing  108 , the power contacts  120 ,  122 , and the cover  150 , is configured to be sterilized together with or separately from the tool  116 , via steam sterilization, hydrogen peroxide sterilization, or other suitable sterilization techniques. By “sterile,” it is meant that, once the process is complete, the housing  108  or the cover  150  has a sterilization assurance level (SAL) of at least 10 −6 . This means that there is equal to or less than one chance in a million that a single viable microorganism is present on the sterilized item. This definition of sterile is the definition set forth in the ANSI/AAMI ST35-1966, entitled “Safe Handling and Biological Decontamination of Medical Devices in Health Care Facilities and Nonclinical Settings”. For alternative applications, the “sterilization” process is sufficient if, once the process is complete, the housing  108  or the cover  150  has an SAL of at least 10 −4 . 
     Also, while many versions of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  include a housing  108  or a cover  150  that is autoclavable, that need not always be the case. This feature is often not part of the design of a battery that is not designed for medical/surgical use. Likewise, the features of this wirelessly chargeable battery  14  may be incorporated into what is often referred to as a non-sterile battery in an aseptic housing. A non-sterile battery in an aseptic housing includes a cell cluster and a circuit board to which the electrical components such as the cell regulator (voltage regulator), the transistors (e.g., FETS), the resistors, capacitors, and microprocessor or battery controller are monitored. This cell cluster is not autoclavable. Instead, the cell cluster can be removably fitted into a housing that is autoclavable. Once the cell is fitted in the housing, the housing is sealed. The cells and other cluster-forming components are thus encapsulated in a sterilized enclosure. Contacts integral with both the cell cluster and the housing provide the contact path over which current is sourced from the battery. A further understanding of the structure of a non-sterile battery assembly in an aseptic housing can be obtained from U.S. Pat. No. 7,705,559 B2, entitled “ASEPTIC BATTERY WITH A REMOVAL CELL CLUSTER, THE CELL CLUSTER CONFIGURED FOR CHARGING IN A SOCKET THAT RECEIVES A STERILIZABLE BATTERY” and PCT Pub. No. WO 2007/090025 A1, entitled “ASEPTIC BATTERY ASSEMBLY WITH REMOVABLE, RECHARGEABLE BATTERY PACK, THE BATTERY PACK ADAPTED TO BE USED WITH A CONVENTIONAL CHARGER”, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference. 
     Some wirelessly chargeable batteries  14  are also provided with supplemental components. These components may include internal sensors, data collection circuits, memories or control processors. These components may monitor the environment to which the battery is exposed, store data regarding the use of the battery, and/or store data regarding the medical device to which the battery is attached. The supplemental components may include or be similar to the supplemental components described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,018,227 A, entitled “BATTERY CHARGER ESPECIALLY USEFUL WITH STERILIZABLE RECHARGEABLE BATTERY PACKS”, and U.S. Pat. Pub. No. 2007/0090788 A1/PCT Pub. No. WO 2007/015639 A2, entitled “SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RECHARGING A BATTERY EXPOSED TO A HARSH ENVIRONMENT”, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference. When a battery is provided with one or more of these supplemental components, the housing  108  may include a supplemental contact (e.g., data contact  124 ). This supplemental contact may be the contact through which signals are received from and/or transmitted to the supplemental components. 
     The battery head  114  may be provided with the power contacts  120 ,  122 . The power contacts  120 ,  122  are conductive members through which the tool  116  draws an energizing current. In some instances, the power contact  120  is the cathode and the power contact  122  is the anode of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . The power contacts  120 ,  122  may be shaped and physically adapted to enable the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  to removably couple to the tool  116 . More specifically, the power contacts  120 ,  122  are physically adapted to be inserted into a corresponding portion of the tool  116  to establish physical and electrical connection with the tool  116 . Thus, when the power contacts  120 ,  122  are inserted into the tool  116  and the power contacts  120 ,  122  are activated such that a voltage is applied across the power contacts  120 ,  122 , the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  provides power to the tool  116 . 
     The battery head  114  may also be provided with a data contact  124 . In an instance wherein one or more data contacts  124  are included, data and instruction signals are written into and read out from the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  through data contact  124 . The wirelessly chargeable battery  14  may thus use the data contact  124  to exchange data and instructions with a tool processor of the surgical tool  116 . These signals may be exchanged using a suitable wired communication protocol. In other instances wherein the data contact  124  may be omitted, data and instructions may be written into and read out from the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  wirelessly. 
     The physical structure of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  may vary from what is described and illustrated herein. For example, the battery head  114 , power contacts  120 ,  122 , and data contact  124  may be omitted from the top portion  110  and/or from the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . For instance, one or more of the power contacts  120 ,  122  may be mounted directly to the tool housing  118  as opposed to the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . In another instance, the power contacts  120 ,  122  may be mounted to cover  150 . While the power contacts  120 ,  122  are illustrated in  FIG. 8C  as extending from battery head  114 , the power contacts  120 ,  122  may be partially or completely housed within the cover  150  and/or housing  108  such that a corresponding contact from tool  116  inserts into the cover  150  and/or housing  108  to connect to the power contacts  120 ,  122 . 
     As illustrated in  FIG. 8C , the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  includes a plurality of components that will be further discussed herein. For example, as shown in  FIG. 8C , the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  includes one or more cells  126 , an induction coil  130 , a battery microcontroller  140 , a battery communication device  142 , a gate  144 , and a charging circuit  146 . The wirelessly chargeable battery  14  may also include a tag  148  having a communication antenna, such as an NFC or RFID tag, that may be used to communicate with charging module  16 . The battery components described herein may be included within a circuit board, such as circuit board  136  (shown in  FIG. 8D ). 
     Referring to  FIG. 8D , one or more cells  126  may be disposed within the housing  108 . The cells  126  are used for storing charge within the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . As shown in  FIG. 8B and 7C , the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  includes six cells  126 . However, in other instances, the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  may include a fewer or greater number of cells  110 . 
     In some instances, the cells  126  are lithium ion cells. For example, the cells  126  may include any suitable nickel or lithium chemistry cell, including but not limited to, lithium ion ceramic cells, lithium iron phosphate, lithium iron phosphorous oxynitride cells, lithium ion nickel magnesium cobalt, or lithium tin phosphorous sulfide cells. In one instance, the cells  126  may be high-temperature cells configured to sustain functionality without damage or with reduced damage during sterilization (e.g., during an autoclave process). In another instance, the cells  126  may be lead acid, or any other suitable type of cell. 
     In some instances, each cell  126 , when properly charged, has a nominal cell voltage of 3.3 VDC for lithium iron phosphate. Additionally, the cells  126  may be connected together in a series to form a cell cluster. In the illustrated instance, the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  includes six series connected cells  126 . This instance of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is therefore configured to output a potential of around 19.8 VDC. Alternatively, in some instances, at least some of the cells  126  may be connected together in parallel. The number and type of cells  126  internal to the battery may of course be different from what is described. 
     As shown in  FIG. 8D , a ferrite base  128  may be disposed between the housing  118  and the cells  126 . Also shown, the induction coil  130  and a radiofrequency coil  132  may be disposed on the ferrite base  128  and attached with suitable techniques, such as with adhesive. The induction coil  130 , the radiofrequency coil  132 , and the ferrite base  128  are further shown in  FIGS. 8D and 8E . In the instance shown in  FIGS. 8D-8G , the ferrite base  128  is a monolithic component and the induction coil  130  and the radiofrequency coil  132  share the same ferrite base  128 . For example, as shown, the induction coil  130  and the radiofrequency coil  132  are concentrically disposed on the ferrite base  128  such that the induction coil  130  is disposed within the radiofrequency coil  132 . In other instances, the induction coil  130  and the radiofrequency coil  132  may be disposed differently on the ferrite base  128 . For example, the induction coil  130  and the radiofrequency coil  132  may be disposed on the ferrite base  128  such that the induction coil  130  and the radiofrequency coil  132  are coplanar. 
     The ferrite base  128  may be used to reduce an amount of electromagnetic interference received from a powered wireless signal, such as an electromagnetic wave or a radiofrequency signal, and to increase a wireless range of the powered wireless signal. In the instance shown in  FIGS. 8D-8G , the induction coil  130  is configured to receive electromagnetic waves for power transmission and the radiofrequency coil  132  is configured to receive radiofrequency signals for communication. The ferrite base  128  is used to prevent electromagnetic interference from the electromagnetic waves received by the induction coil  130  and from the radiofrequency signals transmitted/received by the radiofrequency coil  132 . 
     In the instance shown in  FIGS. 8D-8G , the induction coil  130  and the radiofrequency coil  132  are advantageously disposed on a single ferrite base  128 , allowing the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  to be constructed in a more compact manner. In some instances, the induction coil  130  and the radiofrequency coil  132  may be disposed on separate ferrite bases. In such instances, the individual ferrite bases  128  may be chosen such that a wireless range of electromagnetic waves received by the induction coil  130  and a wireless range of radiofrequency signals transmitted/received by the radiofrequency coil  132  is maximized. 
     However, in the illustrated configuration, the induction coil  130  and the radiofrequency coil  132  are able to both be disposed on the same ferrite base  128  because the wireless range of electromagnetic waves received by the induction coil  130  is lesser than the wireless range of radiofrequency signals transmitted/received by the radiofrequency coil  132 . As such, the ferrite base  128  may be chosen to maximize the wireless range of the electromagnetic waves received by the induction coil  130 , while the wireless range of the radiofrequency signals transmitted/received by the radiofrequency coil  132  remains within an acceptable range. 
     The ferrite base  128  may be chosen based on their permeability and their Q factor. For example, ferrite bases with a higher permeability may increase a wireless range of signals transmitted and/or received by the ferrite base. Ferrite bases with a higher Q factor may more effectively reduce an amount of electromagnetic interference from a powered wireless signal transmitted and/or received from the ferrite base. For example, the ferrite base  128  may have a permeability of at least  700  and a Q factor of at least  20 . 
     The induction coil  130  may include a material having a suitable temperature rating. As previously stated, temperatures inside an autoclave can exceed 120 degrees Celsius. As such, to ensure proper functionality of the induction coil  130 , the induction coil may include a material having a temperature rating greater than 120 degrees Celsius. For example, the induction coil  130  may include Litz wire, which has a temperature rating of at least 155 degrees Celsius. 
     As shown in  FIGS. 8D-8G , the radiofrequency coil  132  may be embedded in a medium of a flexible printed circuit board  134 . As such, adjacent windings of the radiofrequency coil  132  are fixed relative to one another by the medium of the flexible printed circuit board  134 . By fixing adjacent windings of the radiofrequency coil  132  relative to one another within the medium of the flexible printed circuit board  134 , the radio frequency coil  132  is protected against degradation through use, i.e., temperature cycling and mechanical disruptions. In other words, setting the radiofrequency coil  132  within the medium of the flexible printed circuit board  134  provides a robust construction that minimizes a likelihood that windings of the radiofrequency coil  132  be displaced. In some instances, the medium of the flexible printed circuit board  134  includes a resin. 
     A frequency of radiofrequency signals transmitted and received by a radiofrequency coil may be defined by a number of windings of the radiofrequency coil and a space between windings of the radiofrequency coil. As such, by fixing the windings of the radiofrequency coil  132  relative to one another, the radiofrequency coil  132  is protected against slight movements of the windings, which may affect a frequency of radio frequency signals transmitted/received by the radio frequency coil  132 . Such slight movements of the windings may occur through use of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  if the windings of the radiofrequency coil  132  were not fixed relative to one another by the medium of the flexible printed circuit board  134 . 
     The wirelessly chargeable battery  14  may also include a circuit board  136  disposed between the housing  108  and the cells. The circuit board  136  holds the below described components that selectively connect cells  126  to the power contacts  120 ,  122 . For instance, the circuit board  136  includes, or is coupled to, a battery microcontroller  140  that controls the operation of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  as described more fully herein. 
     The battery microcontroller  140  may be, or may include, any suitable controller, microcontroller, or microprocessor. The battery microcontroller  140  includes a plurality of different sub-circuits which are described in  FIG. 9 . For example, in one instance, the battery microcontroller  140  may control when the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is placed into a low power state and when the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  exits the low power state, as described herein. 
     As previously stated, the induction coil  130  is configured to receive charging power from charging module  16  via an electromagnetic charging signal. Additionally, as shown in  FIG. 8C , the battery microcontroller  140  may be coupled to the induction coil  130  and to the charging circuit  146 . The charging circuit  146  includes one or more circuit components that facilitate charging, or providing charge or current to, the cells  126 . As such, the induction coil  130  is configured to receive the charging signal from the charging module  16  and is configured to convert the signal to a current that is transmitted to the charging circuit  146  for use in charging the cells  126 . The charging circuit  146  may receive the current and may adjust the current and/or voltage to conform to a desired current or voltage of cells  126 . When the cells  126  have been charged to a maximum or predefined state of charge, the battery microcontroller  140  may control the charging circuit  146  to prevent further current from being provided to cells  126 . 
     Also shown in  FIG. 8C , the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  may also include a gate  144 , which includes one or more circuit components that selectably couple the cells  126  to the power contacts  120 ,  122 . The gate  144  may include one or more transistors, such as field effect transistors, that are activatable by the battery microcontroller  140  to electrically couple the cells  126  to power contacts  120 ,  122  such that the cells  126  are selectively in communication with the power contacts  120 ,  122 . 
     In the instance shown in  FIG. 8D-8G , the battery communication device  142  includes the radiofrequency coil  132 . Furthermore, as shown in  FIG. 8F , the battery communication device  142  may be a coupled to the battery microcontroller  140 , allowing the battery microcontroller  140  to communicate with the tool  116 , the charging module  16 , and/or a computing device, such as a tablet or server via radiofrequency signals of the radiofrequency coil  132 . In other instances, the battery communication device  142  may be an infrared (IR) transceiver or a Bluetooth transceiver and may wirelessly transmit and receive data using any wireless protocol and/or technology, including but not limited to ZigBee, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, etc. 
     When the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is connected to the tool  116  or the charging module  16 , the battery communication device  142  exchanges signals with a complementary transceiver within the tool  116  (or within another suitable medical device) or within the charging module  16 . For example, the battery communication device  142  may transmit authentication data to a medical device communication module (not shown) and/or may receive authentication data from the medical device communication module to authenticate the tool  116  and/or the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . In a similar manner, the battery communication device  142  may transmit authentication data to the charging module  16  to enable the charging module  16  to authenticate wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . Accordingly, the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 , the charging module  16 , and/or the tool  116  may ensure that only authorized and/or compatible components are being used with each other. 
     Alternatively, in some instances, the battery communication device  142  may be a wired transceiver that transmits data to and from tool  116  and/or a computing device using a suitable wired protocol. In such instances, a user may send and/or receive data from the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 , the charging module  16 , and/or the tool  116  using battery communication device  142 . 
     The battery communication device  142  may also include the tag  148 , shown in  FIG. 8C . Alternatively, the battery communication device  142  and the tag  148  may be separate devices. In some instances, the tag  148  may include an integrated antenna (not shown) for use in communicating with the charging module  16 . Alternatively, the tag  148  may be coupled to the battery communication device  142  or may be a standalone component with an integrated antenna. In some instances, battery data, such as a state of health, a state of charge, and/or battery operational data of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 , may be stored in the tag  148  and may be transmitted to the charging module  16  via NFC, RFID, or any other suitable communication protocol. In some instances, tag  148  is a passive tag that is inductively powered via an electromagnetic field, such as a field generated by the charging module  16 . 
     The wirelessly chargeable battery  14  may also include a thermally insulative material  138 . As shown in  FIG. 8D and 7E , the thermally insulative material  138  may be at least partially disposed between the cells  126  and the ferrite base  128 . The thermally insulative material  138  may also be at least partially disposed between the cells  126  and the housing  108 . The thermally insulative material  138  is configured to insulate the cells  126  from the high temperatures. As such, in instances where the cells  126  may suffer degradation when exposed to high temperatures of an autoclave, the thermally insulative material  138  minimizes damage incurred during sterilization or autoclave cycles. By placing the thermally insulative material  138  between the cells  126  and the induction coil  130 , the induction coil  130  can be positioned as close to a bottom of the housing  108  of the wirelessly chargeable batter  14  as possible. This ensures optimal charging characteristics, while maintaining protection of the cells  126  from high temperature environments. 
     In some instances, the thermally insulative material  138  may include an aerogel, such as polyimide, silica, or carbon aerogel. For example, the thermally insulative material  138  may be an aerogel with a thermal conductivity of approximately 32.5 mW/(m*K) at 298 Kelvin. The thermally insulative material  138  may also be compressed without affecting its thermal conductivity. This is because compressing the thermally insulative material  138  does not reduce an amount of insulative material (e.g. an aerogel, such as polyimide, silica, or carbon aerogel) included in the thermally insulative material  138 . In one instance, the thermally insulative material  138  may be compressed approximately 50% when disposed within the housing  108 . 
       FIG. 9  is a block diagram illustrating various subcircuits or components of the battery microcontroller  140 . While the following subcircuits or components are illustrated in  FIG. 5  as being included within the battery microcontroller  140 , it should be recognized that one or more of the subcircuits or components may be included within any suitable device, module, or portion of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . 
     In some instances, a central processing unit (CPU)  154  controls the operation of the battery microcontroller  140  and the components connected to the battery controller. A non-volatile flash memory  156  stores instructions executed by the CPU  154 . As described more fully herein, flash memory  156  also stores the instructions used to regulate the charging of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 , data describing the use history of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 , and data describing the use history of the tool  116  to which the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is attached. 
     A random access memory  158  functions as a temporary buffer for data read and generated by battery microcontroller  140 . A CPU clock  160  supplies the clock signal used to regulate the operation of the CPU  154 . While shown as single block for purposes of simplicity, it should be appreciated that the CPU clock  160  includes an on-chip oscillator as well as sub-circuits that convert the output signal from the oscillator into a CPU clock signal. A real time clock  162  generates a clock signal at fixed intervals. 
     An analog comparator  164  and an analog to digital converter (ADC)  166  are used to process output signals of one or more sensors or other components of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 , such as a temperature sensor (not shown). In  FIG. 5 , the above sub-circuits are shown interconnected by a single bus  516 . It should be appreciated that this is for simplicity. In practice, dedicated lines may connect certain of the sub circuits together. Likewise, it should be understood that the battery microcontroller  140  may have other sub-circuits. These sub-circuits are not specifically relevant to this disclosure and so are not described in detail. 
       FIG. 10  is a block diagram of a data structure  168  that may be stored in flash memory  156  (shown in  FIG. 5 ), in addition to the instructions executed by the battery microcontroller  140 . The data structure  168  may store data, such as battery operational data, as one or more fields  170  in one or more records or files. As one example, identification data  172  may be stored in the file and may be used to identify the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . The identification data  172 , may include, for example, a serial number, a lot number, a manufacturer identification, and/or an authorization code. The authorization code or other identification information may be read by the tool  116  or charging module  16  to which the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is connected to authenticate the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  (e.g., to determine if, respectively, the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  can power the tool  116  or be recharged by the charging module  16 ). The flash memory  156  may also include a field indicating the useful life  174  of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  (sometimes referred to as “useful life data”). Useful life data  174  may include one or more of the following data types: battery expiration data, a number of charging cycles that the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  has undergone, and a number of autoclaving procedures or cycles the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  has been subjected to. Other fields may indicate the nominal open circuit voltage  176  of the signal produced by the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 , the current  178  the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  can produce, and the amount of available energy  180  (represented in joules, for example). 
     Charging instructions  182  for the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  may be stored in a field  170 . This data can include the types of data described in the memories of the batteries disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,018,227 A and 6,184,655 B1, the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference. 
     Flash memory  156  also contains data describing a charging history  184  and autoclave history  186  of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . For example, as part of the charging history  184  of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 , data may be stored indicating the number of times the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  was charged, as well as a timestamp indicating the time each charging cycle was initiated and/or ended. 
     As part of the autoclaving history  186  of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 , flash memory  156  may store data indicating the total number of times the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  has been autoclaved, and/or a cumulative amount of time the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  has been subjected to temperatures at or above a threshold considered to be the autoclave temperature. In one non-limiting instance, the threshold temperature is about 130 degrees Celsius. In a more specific instance, the threshold temperature is about 134 degrees Celsius. However, it should be recognized that the threshold temperature may be any suitable temperature. The autoclaving history  186  field  170  may also include data indicating the number of times and/or the cumulative amount of time the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  has been exposed to potentially excessive autoclaving cycles. The autoclaving history  186  may also include peak autoclave temperature data indicating the highest autoclave temperature to which the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  has been exposed and an amount of time the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  has been in an autoclave for each of its autoclaving cycles, as well as a period of the longest single time the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  was subjected to autoclaving. 
     A measured post-charge voltages field  188  contains data indicating the measured voltages-at-load of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  after each charging. In some instances, field  188  only contains these measurements for the last 1 to 10 charging cycles. In another field  190 , data is stored indicating the highest battery temperature measured during its previous charging cycles. Again, field  190  may only contain data indicating the highest temperatures measured during the last 1 to 10 charging cycles of the battery. 
     The flash memory  156  also contains a device usage field  192 . As discussed below, the device usage field  192  stores data obtained from the tool  116  or other medical device that the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is employed to power. For example, in one instance, the device usage field  192  may store data indicating a number of times that the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  has been connected to tool  116 , a number of trigger pulls of tool  116 , a total amount of time that the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  has provided power to tool  116  during an operation of tool  116  (i.e., a runtime of tool  116 ), a number of power cycles that tool  116  has undergone, a maximum temperature tool  116  has been exposed to, a current consumption of tool  116 , a speed histogram of tool  116 , a list of serial numbers or other identifiers of the devices that the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  has interacted with, and/or any other suitable data of tool  116 . It should be understood, however, that the device usage field  192  does not include patient data. The data stored in the device usage field  192  may be transmitted by a communication module of medical device  150  and received by battery communication device  142 . 
       FIGS. 11A-11C  further illustrate the charging module  16 . As shown, the charging module  16  includes a plurality of charging bays  46  configured to receive the plurality of protrusions  44 . An autoclavable container  12  may be placed onto the charging module  16  such that each protrusion  44  of the autoclavable container  12  is placed on a charging bay  46  of charging module  16 . 
     In various instances, the charging module  16  may include any suitable number of charging bays  46 . For example, in  FIG. 11A , the charging module  16  includes six charging bays  18 . In other instances, the charging module  16  may include any number of charging bays  46  greater than one (e.g. the charging module  16  may include two, three, four, eight, etc. charging bays  46 ) and a structure of the charging module  16  may vary accordingly. In some instances, a number of charging bays  46  in a row R and a number of charging bays  46  in a column C may be different from one another such that the charging module  16  may accommodate autoclavable containers  12  that include different numbers of protrusions  44 . For example, the charging module  16  in  FIG. 11A  includes a row R with three charging bays  46  and a column C with two charging bays  46 . As such, an autoclavable container  12  with three protrusions  44  and an autoclavable container  12  with two protrusions  44  may be placed on the charging module  12 . 
     The charging module  16  may receive one autoclavable container  12  or a plurality of autoclavable containers  12 . Referring to  FIG. 1 , three autoclavable containers  12  are placed along the three columns C of the charging module  16 . In other instances, a fewer number of autoclavable containers  12  may be placed onto the charging module  16 . Additionally, the autoclavable containers  12  may be placed along the rows R. Furthermore, when an autoclavable container  12  is placed on a row R or a column C of the charging module  16 , the protrusions  44  of the autoclavable container  12  need not be disposed within all charging bays  16  of the row R or the column C. For instance, the autoclavable containers  12  include two protrusions  44  and may be placed along a row R such that the two protrusions  44  are disposed within two of the three charging bays  46  of the row R. 
     The charging bays  46  may be arranged in any suitable fashion. For example, in  FIG. 11A , the six charging bays  46  are arranged in two rows R with each row R including three charging bays  46 . The six charging bays  46  of  FIG. 11A  may also be described as being arranged into three columns C with each column C including two charging bays  46 . Alternatively, in other arrangements, the charging module  16  may include a single charging bay  48  for receiving a protrusion  44  of an autoclavable container  12 . In another instance, the charging bays  48  may be arranged in a single row R or column C. 
     In various instances, the charging module  16  may be shaped in any suitable manner for charging wirelessly chargeable batteries  14 . For example, referring to  FIG. 11A , the charging bays  46  of the charging module  16  are illustrated as substantially flat surfaces configured to receive the protrusions  44  of the autoclavable container  12 . In other instances, the charging bays  46  may be substantially flat surfaces similar to a charging surface of a Wireless Power Consortium (Qi) charger. In some instances, the charging bays  46  may include a frictional surface to prevent wirelessly chargeable batteries  14  from sliding. 
     As shown in  FIG. 11A , each charging bay  48  may include a power antenna  194  and a communication antenna  196 . The power antenna  194  is illustrated as a phantom coil in each charging bay  46 . The power antenna  194  of a charging bay  48  is configured to provide charging power to a wirelessly chargeable battery  14  disposed within a receptacle  42  of an autoclavable container  12  when the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is within a proximity of the charging bay  14  such that the induction coil  130  of wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is within a proximity of the power antenna  194 . The communication antenna  196  is illustrated as a phantom antenna in each charging bay  46 . The communication antenna  196  of a charging bay  48  is configured to establish communication with the battery microcontroller  140  of a wirelessly chargeable battery  16  disposed within a receptacle  42  of an autoclavable container  12  in response to the wirelessly chargeable battery  16  being within a proximity of the charging bay  48 . 
     For example, each receptacle  42  and protrusion  44  of an autoclavable container  12  is shaped to align with a corresponding charging bay  46  of a charging module  16 . As such, by placing a wirelessly chargeable battery  16  in a receptacle  42  and the autoclavable container  12  on the charging module  16 , the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is within a proximity of the power antenna  194  and the communication antenna  196  such that the power antenna  194  provides charging power to the wirelessly chargeable battery  16  and the communication antenna  196  communicates with the battery microcontroller  140  of the wirelessly chargeable battery  16 . 
     Also shown in  FIG. 11A , the charging module  16  may include a power source, illustrated by phantom rectangular block  198 . Also internal to the charging module  16  is a charger controller, illustrated by phantom rectangular block  200 . When the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is placed on the charging module  16 , the power supply  198  applies a charging current to the battery cells  126 . Charger controller  200  regulates the charging of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  by the power supply  198 . The charger controller  200  is also capable of retrieving data from and writing data to a memory internal to the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . 
     Furthermore, referring to  FIG. 11B , the power antenna  194  and the communication antenna  196  are coupled to the charger controller  200 . As such, when the autoclavable container  12  is positioned proximate to a charging module  16  such that each wirelessly chargeable battery  14  within an associated receptacle  42  of the autoclavable container  12  is positioned proximate to a charging bay  46 , the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  may communicate with the charger controller  200  via a communication antenna  196  of a charging bay  46  and may receive charging power via power antenna  194  of the charging bay  46 . 
     The charging module  16  may include a display area  202  that includes a plurality of indicators that provide information relating to the status of the wirelessly chargeable batteries  14  being charged by the charging module  16 . In one instance, a charging display  202  is associated with each charging bay  46  of the charging module  16 . The charging display  202  may include an indicator representing a state of charge of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  being charged by the charging bay  46 . The charging display  202  may also include an indicator representing a state of health of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  (not shown) being charged by the charging bay  46 . In one instance, the state of health of each wirelessly chargeable battery  14  may be determined in a manner similar to that described in U.S. Patent Publication No. US 2018/0372806 A1, entitled “SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING AN AMOUNT OF DEGRADATION OF A MEDICAL DEVICE BATTERY”, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety. Each indicator may be implemented using one or more indicator devices  204 . Accordingly, each indicator  204  may include an LED or other light source that illuminates all or a portion of the indicator  204  to display the state of health and/or the state of charge to a user. Alternatively, each indicator  204  may include any other suitable device or display that enables a user to view the data representing the state of health and/or the state of charge of each wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . Additionally or alternatively, one or more of the indicators  204  may be provided on or within each wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . 
     As described more fully herein, data representative of the state of health and the state of charge of each wirelessly chargeable battery  14  may be transmitted by each wirelessly chargeable battery  14  to the charging module  16  through a communication antenna  196  of a charging bay  46  that the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is proximate to. The data is transmitted from the communication antenna  196  to the charger controller  200 . The charger controller  200  controls the display area  202  to cause a state of charge indicator and/or a state of health indicator to reflect the state of charge data and the state of health data received from wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . 
     In some instances, the display area  202  may also include a temperature indicator (not shown) that displays data representative of an ambient temperature of an environment in which charging module  16  is positioned. The charger controller  200  may receive one or more signals from a temperature sensor indicative of the sensed ambient temperature. The charger controller  200  may control the temperature indicator to display the sensed temperature in the form of a digital display or any other suitable display. 
     In another instance, the display area  202  may include a refresh icon (not shown) that a user may select or press. The charger controller  200  may receive a signal in response to the user selecting or pressing the refresh icon, and the charger controller  200  may initiate a refresh of the display area  202  in response. The refresh of the display area  202  may include a re-determination and re-display of the state of charge of each wirelessly chargeable battery  14 , the state of health of each wirelessly chargeable battery  14 , and the ambient temperature of the environment in which the charging module  16  is placed. 
     In one instance, the charging module  16  and/or the autoclavable container  12  may include one or more sensors that measure a sterility of each wirelessly chargeable battery  14  and/or the sterile volume  30  (shown in  FIG. 2B ). The sensors may transmit signals representative of the measured sterility to the charger controller  200 , and the charger controller  200  may cause an associated indicator (not shown) within the display area  202  to display the measured sterility. 
     Additionally or alternatively, the charger controller  200  may cause an indicator (not shown) within the display area  202  to display a sterility state of each wirelessly chargeable battery  14  and/or the volume  30 . For example, when wirelessly chargeable batteries  14  are placed within the autoclavable container  12  and the autoclavable container  12  is sterilized, a temperature sensor within the autoclavable container  12  may detect the exposure of the autoclavable container  12  to a temperature indicative of an autoclave process (e.g., a temperature of more than 120 degrees Celsius) or other sterilization process and may cause a pin or portion of data stored in a memory (not shown) to reflect that the volume  30  and the wirelessly chargeable batteries  14  disposed therein are in a sterile state. Another sensor may detect when the autoclavable container  12  is opened (e.g., when the top portion is removed) and may cause the pin or portion of data stored in memory to reflect that the volume  30  and the wirelessly chargeable batteries  14  disposed therein may no longer be in a sterile state. The charger controller  200  may receive a signal representative of the sterile state of the autoclavable container  12  and may cause the indicator within display area  202  to reflect the sterile state. 
       FIG. 11B  is a block diagram of the charging module  16 . In the instance shown in  FIG. 11A , the charging module  16  is a wireless charging module that provides a wireless charging signal to wirelessly chargeable battery  14  to wirelessly charge wirelessly chargeable battery  14 .  FIG. 11C  is a block diagram of charging module  16 ′, which is an instance of charging module  16 . The charging module  16 ′ is also a wireless charging module that provides a wireless charging signal to wirelessly chargeable battery  14  to wirelessly charge wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . 
     As illustrated in  FIG. 11B , the charging module  16  includes a power supply  198 , a charger controller  200 , a memory  206 , and one or more indicator devices  204 . The charging module  16  also includes a charging bay  46 , which includes a charger power antenna  194  and a charger communication antenna  196 . In one instance, the charging module  16  is a charging device such as the charging module  16  shown in  FIG. 11A . In other instances, charging module  16  may be a wireless mat, tray, inspection station, or other charging surface that the autoclavable container  12  may be placed upon to wirelessly charge the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . Alternatively, the charging module  16  may be embedded in tool  116  or another suitable device. 
     As illustrated in  FIG. 11C , the charging module  16 ′ includes the power supply  198 , the charger controller  200 , the memory  206 , and the one or more indicator devices  204 . However, charging module  16 ′ also includes a charging bay  46 ′, which is an instance of the charging bay  46 . The charging bay  46 ′ includes one antenna  208 , which is configured to perform the tasks of the power antenna  194  and the charger communication antenna  196 . As such, the antenna  208  may be configured to perform any task that the power antenna  194  and the charger communication antenna  196  are described as performing herein. In some instances, the charging module  16 ′ may be a Wireless Power Consortium (Qi) charger. 
     The power supply  198  converts line current into signals that can be used to energize other components of the charging module  16 . In  FIG. 11B , the power supply  198  also produces a signal that is applied to the charger power antenna  194  to enable the antenna  194  to provide wireless charging power to the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . In  FIG. 11C , the power supply  198  similarly produces a signal that is applied to the antenna  208  to enable the antenna  208  to provide wireless charging power to the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . 
     The charger power antenna  194  of  FIG. 11B  receives a signal from the power supply  198  and converts the signal to a wireless charging signal that is wirelessly transmitted to the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . The wireless charging signal is a radio frequency (RF) signal that is receivable by an induction coil  130  of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . Accordingly, the charger power antenna  194  acts as a transmission component that transmits the charging signal to the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . Similarly, the antenna  208  of  FIG. 11C  may be configured to receive a signal from power supply  198 , convert the signal to a wireless charging signal that is wirelessly transmitted to the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 , and transmit the charging signal to the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . 
     In one instance, the charger controller  200  may operate a switching device (not shown), such as a transistor, switch, or other device, to selectively enable and disable the power antenna  194 . Accordingly, in an instance in which the communication antenna  196  is activated, the charger controller  200  may control the switching device to deactivate the power antenna  194 , such as by preventing current from entering the power antenna  194 . Similarly, the charger controller  200  may selectively enable and disable an ability of the antenna  208  to receive the signal from the power supply  198 , convert the signal to a wireless charging signal that is wirelessly transmitted to the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 , and/or transmit the charging signal to the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . 
     The charger controller  200  may include a processor that regulates the power supply  198  to provide the signal having a suitable current, voltage, and frequency to the charger power antenna  194 . The charger controller  200  controls the provision of the charging signal to wirelessly charge the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  in response to the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  requesting additional charge (referred to herein as a charging request), for example. When the charger controller  200  receives a charging request from the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 , the charger controller  200  may determine if the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  has a sufficient level of health to be charged. In one instance, the charger controller  200  compares battery state of health data received from the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  with a predetermined threshold. If the battery state of health data meets or exceeds the predetermined threshold, the charger controller  200  approves the charging request and commands the power supply  198  to provide the charging signal to the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  via the charger power antenna  194  or the antenna  208 . 
     The memory  206  is a computer-readable memory device or unit coupled to charger controller  200 . In one instance, the memory  206  is a non-volatile random-access memory (NOVRAM), such as flash memory. The memory  206  includes charging sequence and charging parameter data that, when executed by the charger controller  200 , regulates the wireless charging of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . In one instance, the memory  206  also stores data indicating a state of health and/or state of charge of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . For example, in one instance, the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  transmits data representative of the state of health and/or state of charge of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  to the charger communication antenna  196 . The charger communication antenna  196  transmits the state of health and state of charge data to the charger controller  200 , which then stores the data in the memory  206 . In an instance where the memory  206  is a flash memory, such as the flash memory  156  (further described herein), the charger communication antenna  196  may receive the data representative of the state of health and/or the state of charge of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  when the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is unpowered and/or without communicating with the battery microcontroller  140 . 
     The charger communication antenna  196  may be configured to communicate bi-directionally with the battery communication device  142 . In one instance, the charger communication antenna  196  receives battery state of health and/or state of charge data from the memory  206  and provides the data to the charger controller  200 . In addition, the charger communication antenna  196  may receive a charging request from the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  and may transmit the charging request to the charger controller  200 . Similarly, the antenna  208  of  FIG. 11C  may be configured to communicate bi-directionally with the battery communication device  142 , receive battery state of health and/or state of charge data from the memory  206 , provide the data to the charger controller  200 , receive a charging request from the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 , and transmit the charging request to the charger controller  200 . 
     In one instance, the charger controller  200  may operate a switching device (not shown), such as a transistor, switch, or other device, to selectively enable and disable communication antenna  196 . Accordingly, in an instance in which the power antenna  194  is activated, the charger controller  200  may control the switching device to deactivate the communication antenna  196 , such as by preventing current from entering the communication antenna  196 . Similarly, the charger controller  200  may selectively enable and disable an ability of the antenna  208  to communicate bi-directionally with the battery communication device  142 , receive battery state of health and/or state of charge data from memory  206 , provide the data to the charger controller  200 , receive a charging request from the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 , and transmit the charging request to the charger controller  200 . 
     The indicator devices  204  indicate a status of the charging module  16  and/or the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . The indicator device  204  may include at least one of a display, a speaker, and a light source, such as a light-emitting diode (LED). The display may be an LCD, LED, or other type of display. In some instances, multiple indicators may be used to indicate the status of the charging module  16 ,  16 ′ and/or the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . As illustrated in  FIG. 11A , the indicator device  204  may be one or more LEDs. In one instance, the charger controller  200  may activate the one or more indicator devices  204  based on the battery state of health and/or state of charge data received from wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . For example, the charger controller  200  may cause an LED to emit a green color (or another suitable color) if the battery state of health data meets or exceeds the predetermined threshold. The charger controller  200  may cause an LED to emit a red color (or another suitable color) if the battery state of health data is less than the predetermined threshold. The indicator devices  204  thus can indicate to a user the overall health status of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . The indicator devices  204  may additionally or alternatively be used to indicate a state of charge of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . For example, the indicator devices  204  may include one or more LEDs or other light sources that emit a first color of light when the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is not fully charged and may emit a second color of light when the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is fully charged. It is further contemplated that the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  may include one or more indicator devices  204  that indicate the battery state to a user, and as such, the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  itself may include a light source, display, or speaker. 
     In one instance, the charging module  16  may include a plurality of charging bays  46  that each includes a separate power antenna  194  and communication antenna  196 . Similarly, charging module  16 ′ may include a plurality of charging bays  46 ′ that each include an antenna  208 . Accordingly, each charging bay  46  and  46 ′ may be shaped and sized to receive a separate wirelessly chargeable battery  14  as described more fully herein. For example, the charging modules  12 ,  12 ′ may include two charging bays  46 ,  46 ′, respectively, of a similar shape, or two or more charging bays  46 ,  46 ′, respectively, of different shapes to accommodate batteries having different shapes and/or sizes. Each charging bay  46  may therefore communicate with a respective wirelessly chargeable battery  14  that is placed proximate to the charging bay  46  via the communication antenna  196  and may provide charging power to the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  via the power antenna  194 . Similarly, each charging bay  46 ′ may communicate with a respective wirelessly chargeable battery  14  that is placed proximate to a charging bay  46 ′ via the antenna  208 , and may provide charging power to the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  via the antenna  208 . Each charging bay  46  and  46 ′ may be configured as a recessed volume within the surface of the charger. Alternatively still, the charger modules  12 ,  12 ′ may include a plurality of charging bays  46 ,  46 ′, respectively, each being shaped and sized identically. 
     In one instance, each power antenna  194  of each charging bay  46  may only provide charging power when a wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is placed proximate to a charging bay  46 . Accordingly, when a wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is not placed proximate to a charging bay  46  (i.e., if charger controller  200  does not detect the proximity of wirelessly chargeable battery  14  with respect to charging bay  46 ), charger controller  200  may deactivate or otherwise disable the power antenna  194  of that charging bay  46  to conserve power. 
       FIGS. 12-14  are flowcharts of an exemplary method  1000  of providing charge to (or “charging”) a battery that may be used with the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  and the charging module  16  described herein. In one instance, method  1000  is performed by executing computer-readable instructions stored within one or more memory devices of charging module  16  and/or wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . For example, charger controller  200  and/or battery microcontroller  140  may execute instructions stored within memory  206  and/or flash memory  156  to perform the functions of method  1000  described herein. 
     Referring to  FIG. 12 , in one instance, charging module  16  enables or activates  1002  communication antenna  196  to detect one or more wirelessly chargeable batteries  14  positioned in proximity to charging module  16 . In a specific instance, the communication antenna  196  is activated while power antenna  194  is deactivated. Once communication antenna  196  is activated, charging module  16  enters a discovery mode. During the discovery mode, charging module  16  detects a proximity of a wirelessly chargeable battery  14  when wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is placed proximate to a charging bay  46 . For example, when an autoclavable container  12  including a wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is placed onto charging module  16  such that the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is positioned proximate to a charging bay  46 , the wireless communication field generated by communication antenna  196  energizes  1004  a tag  148  within battery communication device  142 . Wirelessly chargeable battery  14  may initially be in a low power state in which one or more components of wirelessly chargeable battery  14  (e.g., battery microcontroller  140 ) are at least partially deactivated. Additionally or alternatively, battery microcontroller  140  may detect when wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is placed in proximity to charging module  16  based on the presence of the electromagnetic field, for example. 
     In response to tag  148  being energized, a field detection pin or device within tag  148  may be set  1006 . In another instance, the field detection pin may be enabled when wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is paired to the charging bay  46  that wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is positioned proximate to as described more fully herein. The setting of the field detection pin  1006  causes wirelessly chargeable battery  14  to exit  1008  the low power state (or “wake up”) and enter an operational or full power state in which the components of wirelessly chargeable battery  14  are activated. In one instance, wirelessly chargeable battery  14  draws power from battery cells  126  during the low power state and the full power state until charging power is provided by charging module  16  (e.g., until an electromagnetic field is established by power antenna  194  to provide charging power to wirelessly chargeable battery  14 ). 
     As used herein, the low power state may refer to a power state in which at least some portions of wirelessly chargeable battery  14  are disabled and wirelessly chargeable battery  14  consumes less power than in a full power state in which all portions of the battery are enabled. In one instance, battery microcontroller  140  may draw a current of about 20 milliamps (ma) or lower while wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is in the low power state. Alternatively, the low power state may be characterized as a power state in which at least some components of wirelessly chargeable battery  14  are disabled, and portions of battery microcontroller  140  are disabled such that battery microcontroller  140  draws a current that is less than 5% of the current that battery microcontroller  140  draws when wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is in the full power state. 
     In one instance, when tag  148  is energized by the electromagnetic field generated by communication antenna  196 , an antenna within tag  148  or battery communication device  142  transmits a pairing message to communication antenna  196  to cause battery communication device  142  to be paired  1010  with communication antenna  196  (and therefore to pair wirelessly chargeable battery  14  with charging bay  46  and charging module  16 ). In a specific instance, tag  148  is an NFC tag that enables battery communication device  142  to pair with communication antenna  196  using an NFC protocol in response to the energizing of tag  148  by communication antenna  196 . Alternatively, wirelessly chargeable battery  14  may be paired with charging module  16  and/or charging bay  46  using Bluetooth or any other suitable protocol. During the pairing of wirelessly chargeable battery  14  and charging module  16 , authentication data may be received from wirelessly chargeable battery  14  to enable charging module  16  to authenticate wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . In one instance, the battery authentication data may be stored within tag  148  and may be readable by charger controller  200  via communication antenna  196  to enable charging module  16  to authenticate wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . In such a manner, charging module  16  may ensure that only approved wirelessly chargeable batteries  14  are provided with charging power from charging module  16 . 
     In one instance, the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  may exit  1008  the low power state in stages. In a first stage, the energizing  1004  of tag  148  may cause battery communication device  142  to exit the low power state to enable the battery communication device  142  to pair with charging bay  46 . In a second stage, in response to the pairing of battery communication device  142  to charging bay  46 , the remaining portions of wirelessly chargeable battery  14  (including battery microcontroller  140 ) may exit  1008  the low power state. Alternatively, the energizing  1004  of tag  148  may cause all portions of wirelessly chargeable battery  14  to exit the low power state at substantially the same time, or any other suitable sequence of exiting the low power state may be performed by wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . 
     In one instance, battery microcontroller  140  may wait a predetermined amount of time (such as 150 milliseconds or another suitable time) after wirelessly chargeable battery  14  has exited  1008  the low power state before moving to the next step of method  1000 . After the predetermined amount of time has elapsed, battery microcontroller  140  may reconfigure the field detection pin to place wirelessly chargeable battery  14  in a “pass through” mode  1012 . In the pass-through mode  1012 , data stored within the tag  148  is transmitted to charging module  16  via communication antenna  196 , and data may also be transmitted from charging module  16  to tag  148 . It should be recognized that data stored within tag  148  may be readable by charging module  16  even if battery microcontroller  140  is inactive, in a low power state, damaged, or is otherwise unable to communicate with charging module  16  and/or tag  148 . 
     Once the tag  148  is paired and the pass through mode is set  1012 , charging module  16  begins receiving  1014  data relating to the battery state (hereinafter referred to as “battery state data”) from wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . In one instance, charging module  16  transmits one or more messages to battery communication device  142  via communication antenna  196  to request the battery state data from battery microcontroller  140 . Battery microcontroller  140  receives the messages from battery communication device  142  and provides  1016  the battery state data in response. In one instance, battery microcontroller  140  temporarily stores the battery state data in tag  148  in preparation for transmission to charging module  16 . Charging module  16  may then read the battery state data directly from tag  148  and may store the battery state data in memory  206  of charging module  16 . 
     The battery state data may include a state of charge, a state of health, and/or any other suitable data of wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . The state of charge may include data representing an amount of capacity of wirelessly chargeable battery  14  and a present charge level of wirelessly chargeable battery  14  or an amount of charge needed to reach a fully charged state of wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . 
     In a specific instance, battery microcontroller  140  may store the battery state data in tag  148  in predetermined blocks of data that are transmitted to charging module  16 . As each block of data is transmitted to charging module  16 , charger controller  200  transmits an acknowledgement message or signal to battery microcontroller  140  via communication antenna  196  to confirm successful receipt of the block of data. In a particular instance, each block of data is 64 bytes. Alternatively, each block of data may include any suitable number of bytes. 
     After charging module  16  has received the battery state data, charging module  16  may update  1018  the display to reflect the data received. For example, charger controller  200  may transmit a command or signal to display area  202  to cause a state of charge indicator to reflect the present state of charge of wirelessly chargeable battery  14  and to cause a state of health indicator to reflect the present state of health of wirelessly chargeable battery  14  based on the data received. 
     Referring to  FIG. 13 , after the battery state data has been received and display area  202  has been updated, charging module  16  may request  1020  battery operational data from wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . In one instance, the battery operational data may include the data stored within the data structure  168  as described above with reference to  FIG. 10 . Additionally or alternatively, any other suitable data may be requested and received by charging module  16 . Charger controller  200  may transmit a signal or request to communication antenna  196  to receive the battery operational data. Communication antenna  196  may transmit  1022  the signal or request to battery communication device  142  which in turn transmits a signal or request to battery microcontroller  140 . In response to receiving the signal or request, battery microcontroller  140  may store the battery operational data in tag  148  of battery communication device  142  in preparation for transmission to charging module  16 . 
     In a specific instance, battery microcontroller  140  may store  1024  the battery operational data in tag  148  in predetermined blocks of data that are transmitted to charging module  16 . In a similar manner as described above, as each block of data is transmitted  1026  to charging module  16 , charger controller  200  transmits an acknowledgement message or signal to battery microcontroller  140  via communication antenna  196  to confirm successful receipt of the block of data. In a particular instance, each block of data is 64 bytes. Alternatively, each block of data may include any suitable number of bytes. Charging module  16  may continually request additional blocks of battery operational data until battery microcontroller  140  transmits a message indicating that the transmission of the battery operational data is complete. Alternatively, charging module  16  may continually request additional blocks of battery operational data until a predetermined amount of the battery operational data has been received by charging module  16 . In one instance, the predetermined amount of battery operational data includes  3  kilobytes of data. In another instance, the predetermined amount of battery operational data includes a size of the data structure  168  (i.e., the amount of data able to be stored within data structure  168 ). 
     After the transmission of the battery operational data is complete, charging module  16  may transmit  1028  a message to battery microcontroller  140  requesting that the battery microcontroller  140  respond that it is ready to begin receiving charging power from the charging module  16 . This request may be referred to as a “ready to charge request”. When battery microcontroller  140  receives the ready to charge request, battery microcontroller  140  may determine whether one or more battery parameters are within an acceptable range. For example, battery microcontroller  140  may determine whether a voltage output from cells  126  is within an acceptable range. If battery microcontroller  140  determines that the battery parameters are within the acceptable range, battery microcontroller  140  may transmit  1030  a message back to charging module  16  indicating that wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is ready to receive charging power. This message may be referred to as a “ready to charge confirmation”. The ready to charge confirmation message may also serve as a notification to charger controller  200  that wirelessly chargeable battery  14  (and its components) has exited the low power state and is in a full power state. Battery microcontroller  140  may also disable or deactivate battery communication device  142  in preparation for receiving charging power. For example, battery microcontroller  140  may receive a signal or message from charger controller  200  that charging module  16  is switching to a power delivery state or is otherwise preparing to provide the charging power to wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . When charging module  16  receives the ready to charge confirmation, charging module  16  begins providing charging power to wirelessly chargeable battery  14  as described with reference to  FIG. 14 . However, if battery microcontroller  140  does not transmit the ready to charge confirmation, or instead transmits an error message due to one or more battery parameters being outside of the acceptable range, charging module  16  may prevent the delivery of power to wirelessly chargeable battery  14  and method  1000  may end. 
     In one instance, the error message may be generated by battery microcontroller  140  in response to a self-diagnosis procedure or other test executed by battery microcontroller  140 . For example, battery microcontroller  140  may receive sensor signals representative of one or more parameters of wirelessly chargeable battery  14  and may compare the sensor signals to predetermined thresholds or usage criteria to determine if wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is operating correctly or is otherwise in an acceptable state of health. The error message may be transmitted by battery microcontroller  140  via battery communication device  142  and may be received by charging module  16  via communication antenna  196 . The error message may be reflected in a state of health indicator of charging module  16 . For example, a state of health indicator may indicate that wirelessly chargeable battery  14  has an error or is otherwise in an unacceptable state for charging and should be replaced. A state of health indicator may display an indication that wirelessly chargeable battery  14  should be replaced by displaying text, a graphic, and/or a light having a predetermined color to indicate that replacement is suggested. 
     Referring to  FIG. 14 , charging module  16  begins the process of providing charging power to wirelessly chargeable battery  14  by disabling or deactivating  1032  communication antenna  196  (e.g., by removing power to communication antenna  196 ) and enabling or activating  1034  power antenna  194  (e.g., by providing power to power antenna  194 ). Charger controller  200  then attempts to inductively couple  1036  power antenna  194  to battery induction coil  130  to transmit charging power to wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . In one instance, charger controller  200  executes the Wireless Power Consortium (Qi) wireless charging protocol to inductively couple  1036  power antenna  194  to battery induction coil  130  to provide the charging power to wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . Alternatively, charger controller  200  may execute any other suitable protocol to provide wireless charging power to wirelessly chargeable battery  14  via power antenna  194  and battery induction coil  130 . 
     After the power antenna  194  and the battery induction coil  130  are inductively coupled, charging power is wirelessly provided  1038  from charging module  16  to wirelessly chargeable battery  14  via the respective antennas. In one instance, charger controller  200  operates the charging process in a loop in which charging power is provided for a predetermined amount of time. In an instance, the predetermined amount of time is  2  minutes. Alternatively, the predetermined amount of time is  30  seconds or any other suitable amount of time. During the charging process loop, charger controller  200  periodically transmits  1040  a request to wirelessly chargeable battery  14  to receive the battery state of charge data. Battery microcontroller  140  receives the request and transmits a response message to charger controller  200  containing the present state of charge of wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . Charger controller  200  may then update  1042  display area  202 , such as by updating a state of charge indicator, to reflect the present state of charge of wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . If charger controller  200  determines that wirelessly chargeable battery  14  has not yet reached a full state of charge, charger controller  200  may continue the charging process loop until the predetermined amount of time has elapsed. After charging power  1038  has been provided for the predetermined amount of time, charger controller  200  disables or deactivates  1044  power antenna  194  and returns to the beginning of method  1000  (i.e., step  1002 ). In such a manner, charger controller  200  causes method  1000  to be executed in a loop until wirelessly chargeable battery  14  has reached a full state of charge. Alternatively, charger controller  200  may continually provide charging power  1038  to wirelessly chargeable battery  14  until wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is fully charged, without periodically returning to the top of method  1000 . 
     If, during execution of the charging loop, charger controller  200  determines that wirelessly chargeable battery  14  has reached a full state of charge, charger controller  200  may update display area  202  to reflect the completed charging of wirelessly chargeable battery  14  (e.g., by causing a state of charge indicator to be illuminated with a particular color such as green or blue). Charger controller  200  then stops providing charging power to wirelessly chargeable battery  14  and disables or deactivates  1044  power antenna  194 . Wirelessly chargeable battery  14  may then be removed from charging bay  46  and/or autoclavable container  12  and may be used as desired. 
     During the charging process, wirelessly chargeable battery  14  may visually indicate the state of charge and/or state of health in addition to charging module  16  displaying the state of charge and state of health on the charging module display area  202 . For example, battery microcontroller  140  may be coupled to one or more LEDs, such as the battery status indicator. Battery microcontroller  140  may cause the battery status indicator to emit a first color of light (such as blue) when wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is not fully charged and may cause the battery status indicator to emit a second color of light (such as green) when battery is fully charged. Battery microcontroller  140  may cause the battery status indicator to emit a third color of light (such as red) if the battery state of health indicates an error or an unacceptable level of health or degradation. In instances where the housing  108  is at least partially transparent, the emission of light from the battery status indicator may be visible to a user when wirelessly chargeable battery  14  is microbially sealed within container  12 . 
     While method  1000  has been described herein as operating with only power antenna  194  or communication antenna  196  being activated at one time, it should be recognized that both power antenna  194  and communication antenna  196  may be activated concurrently such that power is applied to each antenna at the same time. In such an instance, charger controller  200  may use either antenna independently of the other such that data is only transmitted through one antenna at a time. Alternatively, charger controller  200  may operate both power antenna  194  and communication antenna  196  concurrently such that charger controller  200  transmits and/or receives data and/or power using both antennas at the same time. 
     A base  28  for an autoclavable container  12  for a more effective sterilization process is disclosed. The base allows for more effectively eliminating germs and for improving drying properties during sterilization by including a textured surface. As shown in  FIG. 15A  the base  28  may include an inner surface  33  textured with a texture  208 ′ for improving drying properties (herein, an inner surface  33  textured with a texture may be referred to as a textured inner surface  33 ). The textured inner surface  33  may be hydrophilic and exhibit a water contact angle of less than 90 degrees. As will be discussed further herein, the hydrophilic nature of a textured surface of the base  28  allows for a more effective sterilization process. 
     Any suitable base  28  for the autoclavable container  12  may include a textured surface for improving drying properties. For example, the base  28  in  FIG. 15B  optionally includes receptacles  42 , such that the inner surface  33  includes the floors  86  and walls  43  of the receptacles  42 . In the instance of  FIG. 15B , the floors  86  of the receptacles also are textured with a texture  208 ″ (herein, a floor  86  textured with a texture may be referred to as a textured floor  86 ). As such, the textured surface for improving drying properties of the base  28  in  FIG. 15B  includes the textured inner surface  33 , which includes the textured floors  86 . Other instances of the base  28  contemplated herein, but not illustrated by  FIGS. 15A and 15B , may also include a suitable textured surface. 
       FIG. 16  illustrates a side view of the base  28  of  FIG. 15B . As shown, the inner surface  33  of the receptacle, including the floors  86 , are textured with the texture  208 ″. In other instances, any element of the base  28  may be textured or un-textured. For example, in other instances, the outer surface  29  of the base  28 , walls  210  of the inner surface  33 , the walls  43  of the receptacles  42 , and the standoffs  88  may be textured. In another example, only the floor  86  may be textured. In still another example, only the floor  86  may be un-textured. In some instances, other elements of the autoclavable container  12  may include a textured surface. For example, the outer surface  27  and/or the inner surface  31  of lid  26  may be textured. 
       FIGS. 17A and 17B  illustrate how the hydrophilic nature of a textured surface allow for a more effective sterilization process. In  FIG. 17A , a water droplet  212  is disposed on a textured surface, the textured floor  86  of the base  28  of  FIG. 15B . In  FIG. 17B , a water droplet  214  is disposed on an un-textured surface, an un-textured floor  86 . As shown, the water droplet  212  forms a contact angle θ 1  is less than 90 degrees with the textured floor  86  that is less than 90 degrees, such that the textured floor  86  is hydrophilic. In contrast, the water droplet  214  forms a contact angle θ 2  with the un-textured floor  86  that is greater than 90 degrees, such that the un-textured floor  86  is hydrophobic. Because the contact angle θ 1  is less than 90 degrees and the contact angle θ 2  is greater than 90 degrees, an amount of the water droplet  212  in contact with the textured floor  86  is greater than an amount of the water droplet  214  in contact with the un-textured floor  86 . In other instances, the textured surface of the base  28  may be hydrophilic and the contact angle θ 1  between a water droplet and the textured surface may be less than 80 degrees, 70 degrees, 60 degrees, 50 degrees, 40 degrees, 30 degrees, 20 degrees, or 10 degrees. 
     During an autoclave process, the autoclavable container  12  first enters a sterilization phase. During the sterilization phase, sterilant permeates the autoclavable container  12  and condenses onto the inner surface  33  and/or the floor  86  of the base  28 . For example, during an autoclave process that uses steam as the sterilant, the steam condenses as high-temperature water droplets onto the inner surface  33  and/or floor  86  of the base  28 . As previously stated, an amount of contact between a water droplet and a textured surface is greater than an amount of contact between a water droplet and an un-textured surface. As such, a high-temperature water droplet contacting a textured surface conducts more heat to the inner surface  33 , eliminating more bacteria on the inner surface  33 . This phenomenon is illustrated in  FIGS. 17A and 17B , where a greater amount of heat is conducted to the inner surface  33  from the water droplet  212  than is conducted to the inner surface  33  from the water droplet  214 . 
     After the sterilization phase, the autoclavable container  12  then enters a drying phase. During the drying phase, a temperature of the base  28  increases, conducting heat to the inner surface  33  of the base  28  to evaporate the water droplets from the sterilization phase. As previously stated, an amount of contact between a water droplet and a textured surface is greater than an amount of contact between a water droplet and an un-textured surface. As such, as the temperature of the base  28  increases, more heat is conducted to a water droplet on a textured surface, causing the water droplet to dry faster. This phenomenon is illustrated in  FIGS. 17A and 17B , where a greater amount of heat is conducted to the water droplet  212  from the base  28  than is conducted to the water droplet  214  from the base  28 . 
     The textured surface of the base  28  may include any suitable texture such that the textured surface is hydrophilic, and the textured surface exhibits a water contact angle less than 90 degrees. For example, the texture  208 ′ in  FIG. 15A  includes pyramidal peaks of uniform size and uniform spacing. The texture  208 ″ in  FIG. 15B  includes pyramidal peaks of variable size and variable spacing. In other instances, the texture may include peaks of any suitable shape, and with uniform or variable size and spacing. For instance, the textured surface of the base  28  may be textured with a texture that includes hemispherical peaks of uniform size and variable spacing. 
     The height of the standoffs  88 , illustrated as h standoff  in  FIGS. 17A and 17B , may be based on the textured surface. As previously stated, h standoff  may be minimized in order to maximize efficiency of the charging power transfer between the power antenna  194  and the induction coil  130 , while still allowing sterilant to contact the bottom surface of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 . Additionally, h standoff  may be chosen such that a water droplet disposed on the textured surface does not contact the bottom surface of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  to facilitate proper sterilization of and proper drying of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  and the autoclavable container  12 . As such, h standoff  may be chosen such that a height of the water droplet h droplet  is less than h standoff , as shown in  FIG. 17A . In one such instance, h standoff  may be no greater than 4 millimeters such that a water droplet disposed on the textured surface does not contact the bottom surface of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14 , while allowing sterilant to contact the bottom surface of the wirelessly chargeable battery  14  and preserving an efficiency of charging power transfer of greater than 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, or 90%. 
     In addition to shape and variable or uniform size and spacing, the texture of the textured surface may also be defined using a roughness profile. An example texture is shown in  FIG. 18A . The texture of the textured surface is captured in  FIG. 18B  using a texture profile P(x). As shown, the texture profile P(x) captures smaller peaks and valleys of the texture, as well as larger curvatures of the texture. In the interest of analyzing the smaller peaks and valleys of the texture, it is advantageous to remove the larger curvatures captured by the texture profile P(x). The larger curvatures of the texture are captured using a waviness profile W(x), shown in  FIG. 18C . To remove the larger curvatures, the waviness profile W(x) is filtered from the texture profile P(x), outputting the roughness profile Z(x), shown in  FIG. 18D . 
     The roughness profile Z(x) allows the texture of the textured surface to be defined using a variety of parameters. Three example parameters are shown in  FIGS. 18E-18G . Each of the example parameters reference a mean line  216 , which is defined such that an area between the roughness profile R(x) and the mean line  216  above the mean line  216  is equal to an area between the roughness profile R(x) and the mean line  216  below the mean line  216 . Additionally, each roughness profile Z(x) is analyzed over a sampling length l r . 
     In  FIG. 18E , an arithmetical mean height R a  is used to define the roughness profile Z(x). The arithmetical mean height R a  is defined as an average absolute value of the difference between the roughness profile Z(x) and the mean line  216  over the sampling length l r . The arithmetical mean height R a  of the roughness profile Z(x) may be any suitable value such that the textured surface may be hydrophilic and exhibit a water contact angle less than 90 degrees. For example, the arithmetical mean height R a  may be greater than 2 micrometers and less than 4 micrometers. 
     In  FIG. 18F , a root mean square deviation R q  is used to define the roughness profile Z(x). The root mean square deviation R q  is defined as a root mean square of the difference between the roughness profile Z(x) and the mean line  216  over the sampling length l r . The root mean square deviation R q  of the roughness profile Z(x) may be any suitable value such that the textured surface may be hydrophilic and exhibit a water contact angle less than 90 degrees. For example, the arithmetical mean height R a  may be greater than 2 micrometers and less than 5 micrometers. 
     In  FIG. 18G , a mean width of profile elements RS m  is used to define the roughness profile Z(x). The mean width of profile elements RS m  is defined as an average value of the length of profile elements over the sampling length l r . The profile elements are illustrated in  FIG. 18G  as X s1 , X s2 , X s3 , X si , and X sm . The mean width of profile elements RS m  may be any suitable value such that the textured surface may be hydrophilic and exhibit a water contact angle less than 90 degrees. For example, the mean width of profile elements RS m  may be greater than 10 micrometers and less than 40 micrometers. 
     Other parameters not shown in the figures may also be used to define the roughness profile Z(x). For example, a maximum height of the profile R z  is defined as a maximum peak-to-peak height of the roughness profile Z(x). The maximum height of the profile R z  of the roughness profile Z(x) may be any suitable value such that the textured surface may be hydrophilic and exhibit a water contact angle less than 90 degrees. For example, the maximum height of the profile R z  may be greater than 20 micrometers and less than 30 micrometers. 
     The base  28  including a textured surface may be manufactured using a variety of methods. For example, the base  28  may be molded from a polymeric material permitting the transmission of an electromagnetic wave therethrough and having a glass transition temperature above 140 degrees Celsius. The base  28  may be molded such that an inner surface of the base  28  exhibits a contact angle less than 90 degrees. In another example, the base  28  may be molded from the polymeric material, but the base  28  may be textured after being molded. For example, after the base  28  is molded from the polymeric material, the base  28  may be textured with a laser.
