Description
Qi is a wireless charging standard. It’s the only standard that can be found built into phones from both the major phone manufacturers – Samsung and Apple.
Wireless charging allows you to charge a compatible device (like your smartphone) without plugging your device into a power cable. In order to charge something wirelessly, you need to have two components called induction coils. These coils are loops of wire that are built into wireless charging stations and compatible phones. When a compatible device is placed on a charging station, the two coils are able to act as a transformer. When an electromagnetic field is generated by the charging station, it creates an electrical current in the coil that is located in the device. That current flows into the battery.
The Qi standard was first published in 2010, and it described an inductive method of wirelessly charging devices. In addition to specifying three different power ranges for wireless chargers, it also laid out the way that devices would communicate with charging stations to ensure safe and efficient charging.
The inductive charging used by Qi is more energy-efficient than resonant charging, and the components are smaller. That means inductive Qi chargers can be less bulky and take up less space.
QI COMPATIBLE DEVICES:
Designed to mount to a vehicle’s air vent or with 3M tape. Utilising a magnetic face, simply stick the metal ring between the phone and protective cover or stick the magnetic ring to your phone to enable the magnet to securely hold your phone and charge it while you drive. Includes 1m USB cable
