USB Wireless Charger: What Is Wireless Charging?

By Johny Jacson


The USB wireless charger is now enjoying well-deserved mainstream popularity, thanks primarily 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.

First, most wireless chargers are physically lightweight. While it is true that this provides convenience, it can also be easily worn and damaged. That is one tradeoff that you would have to make when buying a wireless USB charger. The key here, then, is to find a brand and a model that will provide you both perks of light structure and durability, like the Vority Ki+4, the first combined 4-usb-port and wireless charger.

The biggest selling point of a wireless charger, and also its first advantage, is convenience. It is easy to carry and store, and it is ideal for use during travels. It is also extremely easy to use. You do not have to fumble for charger sockets and wires anymore. You simply have the plug the charger itself and then place your device on top of it. Induction-a basic principle in energy-will do the rest.

Third, another disadvantage to using a wireless USB charger is the added complexity of the system. Obviously, a wireless charger's system will be more complicated than that of a traditional wired charger. While this could be seen as a good technological leap, there is a tradeoff in the sense that some maintenance issues could also come up.

Second, and in relation to the first one, the extremely simple method of charging means you get to do away with cables. It reduces the damage to plugs and sockets as well. Many phone users complain how quickly charger cables and connectors get damaged today.

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.

However, keep in mind that for their light structure and their advanced and convenient technology, the issue regarding lessened efficiency is easily compensated.

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).

Fourth, another advantage of the USB wireless charger is that the technology it uses is constantly being developed. It is worth noting again that wireless chargers have their origins as novelty devices. They were developed for a specific niche.

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. Keep in mind 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.
