Techniques are described for controlling the wireless charging of a mobile electronic device battery by a wireless battery pack coupled thereto. The techniques may include determining a state of the mobile electronic device, determining at least one temperature of the mobile electronic device, and controlling the charging of the mobile electronic device battery by the wireless battery pack based on the state and the at least one temperature of the mobile electronic device. The state of the mobile electronic device may include, for example, an in-pocket state, an out-of-pocket and idle state, an out-of-pocket and idle with a low charge level state, and an out-of-pocket and in use state. Charging of the mobile electronic device battery by the wireless battery pack can be controlled by manipulating the duty cycle of the wireless battery pack or the rate at which electrical energy is output from the wireless battery pack.
