September 18, 2025
This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for selectively utilizing wired power or wireless power in an apparatus. The apparatus may include a wired power circuit associated with the wired power and a wireless power circuit configured to receive wireless power from a wireless power transmitter. The apparatus may include a power source switch configured to selectively couple a load to the wired power circuit or the wireless power circuit. A controller may control the power source switch based on availability of the wired power or the wireless power. In some implementations, the load includes a heating element and a temperature switch. The controller also may control a wireless power transfer state of the wireless power transmitter based on a status of the temperature switch.
