When it comes to charging your phone, there are a few factors you need to take into consideration. You’ll want to make sure you have the right power sources and outlets in the house, as well as convenient options when traveling. One of the newest options is wireless charging pads. These pads can be plugged into any wall outlet and they transmit electricity wirelessly to your phone without requiring cables or wires, which can sometimes be difficult to plug in while using your device at the same time. Here are some features to consider when buying a quality wireless charging pad.
Power Delivery
There are two main types of wireless charging. The first is Qi tech, followed by Powermat. Powermat is similar to Qi, but it provides more power at once (up to a maximum of 7.5 watts). A downside of this technology is that it too can be extremely sensitive to the placement of the pad. As such, make sure you test the product at multiple locations in your home before deciding which model you’ll buy; if you’re shopping online, be sure to order the pads from the retailer who will ship them directly to you so they can be returned if they don’t work in your home.
Number of Pads
Keep in mind that one charging mat will not be enough to power all your devices. In order to make sure that you have enough pads for all your devices, read reviews and evaluate the number of pads you’ll likely need. It may be wise to purchase multiple charging pads at once so that you don’t need to constantly repurchase single-use mats. This can also keep costs down since prices will vary depending on the number of charging mats you buy at once.
It’s a good idea to keep an eye out for other features too, such as the ability to charge through cases, size compatibility with your device, and more.
