Beverage container

A heated beverage container, comprising:

• a cup having an inner sidewall surface, an outer sidewall surface, an inner bottom surface, an outer bottom surface, wherein said inner sidewall surface and said inner bottom surface are shaped to hold liquid;
• a heating element completely enclosed between said inner sidewall surface and said outer sidewall surface for heating said inner sidewall surface to evenly heat said liquid, wherein said heating element is secured within said cup so that said cup is watertight;
• a removable battery power source capable of being temporarily secured to said outer bottom surface for keeping said heating element energized while said battery power source is secured to said outer bottom surface, wherein said beverage container is portable when said power source is secured to said cup, and wherein said cup is capable of being submerged in water when said power source is removed without damaging said heated beverage container;
• a removable battery charger capable of being temporarily secured to said battery power source;
• said battery power source further comprising:
• a battery coupled to a first pair of electrical contacts;
• a battery enclosure for holding said battery including a sidewall having an inner surface and an outer surface, a bottom, and a stationary top, said first contacts being secured to a top of said stationary surface;
• a moveable plate slidingly received by said stationary top utilizing a spring for urging said plate upward and away from said stationary top when said battery power source and said cup are unattached so that said first contacts are covered by said plate;
• said spring being compressed when said cup is temporarily secured to said battery power source, said plate being urged downward toward said stationary top by said cup and said first contacts thereby being exposed through a pair of holes in said plate when said plate is urged downward;
• a flange secured to said inner surface of said battery enclosure of said battery power source, said flange extending from said sidewall into an interior of said battery enclosure;
• a groove in said outer sidewall surface of said cup for temporarily receiving said flange when said cup is temporarily secured to said power source;
• electrical leads secured to said heating element;
• a second pair of electrical contacts secured to said outer bottom surface and connected to said electrical leads;
• said second contacts coupled to said first contacts when said first contacts are exposed through said pair of holes in said plate, wherein said battery is electrically coupled to said heating element when said cup is temporarily secured to said battery power source;
• said battery power source further comprises said battery being coupled to a third pair of electrical contacts secured to an outer surface of said bottom of said battery enclosure;
• said battery charger further comprising:
• a charging circuit enclosed within a base, said base having a top, and a sidewall having an inner sidewall surface and an outer sidewall surface;
• a fourth pair of electrical contacts secured to said top of said base;
• a moveable plate slidingly received by said top utilizing a spring for urging said plate upward and away from said top when said battery power source and said battery charger are unattached so that said fourth contacts are covered by said plate.
