A system for charging a battery in a sterilizable container, the system comprising: one or more autoclavable batteries, each battery comprising a battery controller; an autoclavable container comprising: a plurality of receptacles, each receptacle shaped to receive one of the batteries; and a plurality of protrusions, each protrusion being aligned with a corresponding receptacle; and a charging device comprising: a plurality of charging bays, wherein each charging bay is shaped to receive a protrusion of the autoclavable container, one of the charging bays comprising: a first antenna configured to establish communication with a battery controller of a battery disposed within a receptacle of the autoclavable container in response to the battery being within a proximity of the charging bay; and a second antenna configured to provide charging power to the battery disposed in the receptacle; and a charging controller configured to: detect whether the first antenna has established communication with the battery in response to the battery being within the proximity of the charging bay; and provide charging power to the battery via the second antenna in response to detecting that the first antenna has established communication with the battery; and a switching element for enabling the charging controller to selectively activate and deactivate the second antenna, wherein the charging controller is further configured to control the switching element to deactivate the second antenna while the first antenna establishes communication with the battery controller. one or more autoclavable batteries, each battery comprising a battery controller; an autoclavable container comprising: a plurality of receptacles, each receptacle shaped to receive one of the batteries; and a plurality of protrusions, each protrusion being aligned with a corresponding receptacle;
