appliance charging via induction?
(OP)
A japanese national sent me a "National" brand electric razor made in japan. All of the documentation is japanese (particular unit is not intended for sale outside japan) - and I think one particular feature is unusual. The unit has the inevitable charger base which plugs into regular 115VAC, but neither the charger nor razor have any exposed electrical contacts. The charging light on the razor energizes when the razor is placed on the charging base. Do you folks think it is charging via induction or..? I have never seen a nicad battery-equipped unit (unit says Ni-Cd) and charger apparatus with no direct electrical contacts.

The low voltage side that charges battery is considered safe if it meets some industry standards, e.g. UL (Underwriters Laboratories (in USA), IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission), EN (European Norms), CSA (Canadian Standards Association), Japanese Standards, etc.
