1. A wireless charging status determination system comprising:
a power input port, wherein the power input port is configured to be electrically connected with a power supply and to thereby receive electrical power therefrom; and
a power supply port, wherein the power supply port is configured to be electrically connected with a wireless charger and to thereby provide electrical power obtained from the power input port thereto;
sensing circuitry configured to obtain measurements indicative of an amount of electrical power flowing from the power input port to the power supply port; and
one or more controllers, the one or more controllers configured to:
obtain one or more measurements indicative of an amount of electrical power received by the wireless charging status determination system via the power input port and provided by the wireless charging status determination system via the power supply port,
compare the one or more measurements against one or more thresholds, and
determine, without data communication between the wireless charging status determination system and a) the wireless charger and b) a wirelessly chargeable device charged by the wireless charger and based on the comparisons of the one or more measurements against the one or more thresholds, a charging status of the wireless charger.
