A charging pad 10 is provided with a power supply coil 11, and a device housing a battery 50 containing an induction coil 51. A device housing a battery 50 is provided with a rectifying circuit 53 that rectifies AC power induced in the induction coil 51, a charging circuit 54 that charges the internal battery 52 with output from the rectifying circuit 53, a shorting circuit 56 that short circuits the terminals of the induction coil 51, and a control circuit 57 that controls the shorting circuit 56 ON when a charging abnormality is detected. If the control circuit 57 detects a charging abnormality during power transmission from the charging pad 10 power supply coil 11 to the device housing a battery 50 induction coil 51, it controls the shorting circuit 56 ON to cut-off the supply of power from the induction coil 51 to the rectifying circuit 53. |
