1. A device comprising:
a monitoring device comprising a first housing, wherein the first housing includes a first waterproof enclosure for a first battery and sensing circuitry powered by the first battery, the first housing including a pair of functional guide surfaces on opposing sides thereof, each of the functional guide surfaces forming a curved draw path, and each of the functional guide surfaces including a curved detent; and
a recharging battery comprising a second housing, wherein the second housing includes a second waterproof enclosure for a second battery and wireless power transfer circuitry, the recharging battery including a pair of wings each having a curved flange shaped to guide the recharging battery along the curved draw path by following a respective one of the functional guide surfaces, each of the curved flanges further shaped to mate with a corresponding one of the curved detents of the monitoring device to secure the recharging battery in a predetermined position relative to the monitoring device for wirelessly transferring power from the second battery to the first battery through the wireless power transfer circuitry.
