Methods and systems are disclosed, wherein temperature in a device, such as an ambulatory infusion pump, etc., is monitored during inductive charging of the device such that temperature-sensitive contents or components, such as, for example, insulin, particular circuitry and/or other components are not damaged. Temperature can be monitored in the device at one or more locations during inductive charging. If the temperature breaches one or more predetermined thresholds and/or is rising at a rate greater than one or more predetermined thresholds, charging can be suspended or provided at reducedpower to prevent the temperature from further rising and damaging the contents and/or components of the device. One or more alerts associated with these events may also be triggered so that the user is aware of the situation and may take corrective action. 公开了方法和系统，其中，在诸如非固定输注泵的设备的感应充电期间，监测该设备中的温度，使得诸如胰岛素、特定电路和/或其它部件的温度敏感的内容物或部件不被损坏。在感应充电期间，能够在一个或多个位置处监测设备中的温度。如果温度违反一个或多个预定阈值和/或以大于一个或多个预定阈值的速率上升，则能够暂停充电或以降低的功率提供充电，以防止温度进一
