Zusammenfassung:A charging controller (25) acquires the power loss of a power transmission coil (31) from a power supply device (100) via wireless communication. A temperature estimation unit (33) estimates the ambient temperature of a power reception coil on the basis of a preset amount of heat generation of a power reception device (200) and the power loss of the power transmission coil (31). In this case, when the positional relationship between the power transmission coil (31) and the power reception coil (41) is shifted from a normal positional relationship, the temperature estimation unit (33) increases, in accordance with the magnitude of positional shift amount, the contribution to a temperature rise due to the power loss of the power transmission coil (31). Accordingly, an abnormal increase in the ambient temperature of the power reception coil (41) can be prevented.
