## Abstract

Methods, systems, and products describe a car, truck, or other vehicle that charges a battery in a mobile device. The vehicle wirelessly inductively charges the battery based on historical usage.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method, comprising:
receiving, by a hardware processor, data sent via a wireless communication with a mobile device, the data representing a historical consumption of a battery power associated with a battery powering the mobile device;
determining, by the hardware processor, a charging strategy for the battery based on the historical consumption of the battery power; and
inductively coupling, by the hardware processor, an electrical power to the mobile device to charge the battery according to the charging strategy.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving the electrical power.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving the electrical power from a vehicle.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving the electrical power from an electrical system powering a vehicle.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving the electrical power from a charger.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising providing the electrical power to a coil for the inductively coupling to the mobile device.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising determining a date and time of the inductively coupling of the electrical power to the mobile device.

### Claim 8

An apparatus, comprising:
a hardware processor; and
a memory device, the memory device storing code, the code when executed causing the hardware processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
receiving data sent via a wireless communication with a mobile device, the data representing a historical consumption of a battery power associated with a battery powering the mobile device;
determining a charging strategy for the battery based on the historical consumption of the battery power; and
inductively coupling an electrical power to the mobile device to charge the battery according to the charging strategy.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the operations further comprise receiving the electrical power.

### Claim 10 (depends on 8)

The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the operations further comprise receiving the electrical power from a vehicle.

### Claim 11 (depends on 8)

The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the operations further comprise receiving the electrical power from an electrical system powering a vehicle.

### Claim 12 (depends on 8)

The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the operations further comprise receiving the electrical power from a charger.

### Claim 13 (depends on 8)

The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the operations further comprise providing the electrical power to a coil.

### Claim 14 (depends on 8)

The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the operations further comprise determining a date and time of the inductively coupling of the electrical power to the mobile device.

### Claim 15

A memory device storing code which when executed causes a processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
receiving data sent via a wireless communication with a mobile device, the data representing a historical consumption of a battery power associated with a battery powering the mobile device;
determining a charging strategy for the battery based on the historical consumption of the battery power; and
inductively coupling an electrical power to the mobile device to charge the battery according to the charging strategy.

### Claim 16 (depends on 15)

The memory device of claim 15, wherein the operations further comprise receiving the electrical power.

### Claim 17 (depends on 15)

The memory device of claim 15, wherein the operations further comprise receiving the electrical power from a vehicle.

### Claim 18 (depends on 15)

The memory device of claim 15, wherein the operations further comprise receiving the electrical power from an electrical system powering a vehicle.

### Claim 19 (depends on 15)

The memory device of claim 15, wherein the operations further comprise receiving the electrical power from a charger.

### Claim 20 (depends on 15)

The memory device of claim 15, wherein the operations further comprise providing the electrical power to a coil.
