In a battery charger cradle, a battery incorporated in a battery built-in device is charged by electric power induced to an induction coil. The cradle includes a primary coil inducing electromotive force to the induction coil, a casing having a top plate atop of which the battery built-in device is placed, a movement mechanism moving the primary coil along an inner surface of the top plate, and a position detection controller detecting a position of the battery built-in device placed on the top plate and controlling the movement mechanism to bring the primary coil closer to the induction coil in the battery built-in device. When the battery built-in device is placed on the top plate, the position detection controller detects the position of the battery built-in device, and the movement mechanism moves the primary coil to be brought closer to the induction coil in the battery built-in device.
A battery charger cradle designed to be used with a battery built-in device having an electromagnetically coupled induction coil incorporated in the battery built-in device and a battery rechargeable with a power induced by the induction coil, the battery charger cradle comprising:
