A faster way to do this, rather than having to rebuy your batteries in order for this to be able to work, would to have some sort of plugin adapter, something less than 1/2" long, so that the device would sit outside of the charging tray or whatever it is and the adapter would sit on the tray, then the adapter could send the power to the existing battery without having to modify that end of it. The efficiency may decrease, but I'd bet it'd be better than wires, and the fact that you wouldn't have to have wires would be sweet. Plus it'd get the technology out that much faster, so that in the future we could buy electronics that were equipped with the correct battery technology.

Also, the former suggestion wouldn't do away with any sort of magnetic shielding that would be needed. I'm assuming that would be needed, since otherwise you'd charge your phone and lose all your data...
