The USB wireless charger is now enjoying well-deserved mainstream popularity, thanks in large part to its convenience. Wireless chargers only begun as a novelty innovation, but now they have carved a niche in the market. They are even being used for other applications aside from those that involve mobile phones and similar devices. Before joining the USB wireless charger craze, however, there are several things you have to know first about wireless charging. This article will tackle the principle behind wireless charging, the current industry standards when it comes to wireless chargers, and several other basic concepts.

Wireless chargers provide a means of transferring electrical energy without using the traditional physical wires. Also called inductive charging, it manages to do away with the traditional physical structure by using a mat or the charger’s surface to charge up your mobile devices.

Because of this, wireless chargers are in vogue among many users of portable devices like smartphones and tablets. Aside from prevalent use among mobile phone users, wireless chargers have also been tapped for use with other cordless devices when the use of traditional charging methods is impossible or counterproductive.

Wireless chargers operate by using a magnetic or inductive field in between two coils, through which the electricity is transferred. Once transmitted through the coils, the energy winds up in the receiver and this will start charging your device’s battery.

As for the current industry standards, here are two among the many: Qi and A4WP. Qi came earlier than A4WP, and its inductive system uses a lower frequency for power transfers. conversely, A4WP is the more recent of the two, and it uses a higher frequency for power transfers. Unlike the Qi, A4WP can charge multiple devices all at the same time, which is a big improvement over the former. Do take note however, that A4WP is still experimental, meaning you won’t be able to buy a charger that uses it. Since you’re going to look for one that’s equipped with Qi technology, it’d be advantageous to pick one that comes with additional ports (such as the popular Vority Ki+4).

A 4 port usb wireless charger works as a flat transformer, and its shape allows it to be used with a very wide variety of items. The transformer has two sides: the primary side and the secondary side. The former is hooked to the energy source, and the latter will be inside the equipment which requires charging. The other parts include the two flat coils, as mentioned earlier, plus a pad or mat that will be linked directly to the device for charging.

The few pieces of information tackled here are important not only to help you understand your wireless charger. These are also important because these can help give you an idea on how to maintain and take care of your wireless charger. note, however, that this is just a basic guide of sorts. You can easily find other relevant information online, or from your nearest local supplier of wireless chargers.
