A method of operating an inductive power supply for a remote device comprises applying power to a tank circuit within the inductive power supply ; establishing an inductive coupling between the inductive power supply and the remote device; and monitoring at least one operating parameter of the inductive power supply after establishing the inductive coupling. Based upon said monitoring step, the inductive power supply is reconfigured by: adjusting a first characteristic of the power supply, the first characteristic being one of a resonant frequency of a tank circuit, an operating frequency of the power applied to the tank circuit, a rail voltage of the power applied to the tank circuit, or a duty cycle of the power applied to the tank circuit; and adjusting a second characteristic of the power supply, the second characteristic being one of a resonant frequency of the tank circuit or a rail voltage of the power applied to the tank circuit and being different from the first characteristic. |
