A system for automatically recharging a battery includes a converter that responds to indirect, reactive forces (e.g. vibrations and jerks) that are externally applied to the system. The response is a generation of electrical energy. A central controller in the system can then, simultaneously or selectively: 1) route this electrical energy directly to a user; 2) transfer the electrical energy to a battery for the recharging of the battery; and 3) divert the electrical energy to a storage unit for subsequent use in recharging the battery or direct use by the user.
