How To Use A Combined USB And Wireless Charger

By Johny Jacson


The wireless USB charger is one of the newest innovations in the mobile device industry. More and more users are turning to wireless chargers simply because these are extremely convenient to use, even when traveling.

Because of the increasing number of brands and models that you can get in the market, it could be quite daunting to choose which particular charger to go with.

QI technology is a new interface standard developed to transfer electrical power through induction up to a maximum of 4 centimeters. The Qi inductive power transfer system consists of a compatible receiver to be paired with a power transmission pad.

When the Qi-enabled device is placed on the transmission pad, the battery is charged through resonant inductive coupling.

Now, you find in the market this new charger type that combines the two kinds of charging device into a USB wireless charger type.

How do you use this charger then? The only one of this combined type available as of today is the Qi standard, 4-port USB charger. It is sold under the name Vority and its use is as easy as charging 5 of your devices all at the same time.

First, you will plug this wall adapter to your power outlet. As the device has combined the wall adapter with the actual charger, there will only be the plug wire and the actual charger. A red light will indicate that the charger is working properly. Incidentally, this light is not the kind that obnoxiously disrupts your vision at night, as it is visible, but not too bright.

Check feedback indicators like lights and sounds as well, because these will let you know if the charger is functioning properly.

After evaluating specifications, look into the design as well. keep in mind that your wireless charger will be easily seen when you use it, so make sure you get one that fits your tastes. Similarly, if you will be keeping the wireless charger in just one place like a table or a shelf, find one that will look good with the surroundings. Aside from the aesthetic factor, consider the size and weight of the charger as well. Obviously, smaller and lighter ones are better if you intend to use it while traveling.

The device should either be manufactured with a Qi technology receiver or is equipped with one that can be purchased for certain types and models of devices.

To determine good customer support, know your prospective brand's reputation. You can do this by asking around among friends, colleagues, or acquaintances, or by going online to read up on independent user reviews. Brands with good customer support will be easily reachable around the clock.

With this, you wouldn't have to keep on charging your devices in different outlets all over the house. You'll have them all charged with one USB wireless charger in one place. You wouldn't have to worry about that mobile you've placed on its Qi-standard pad either. The charger is made to work at full speed for all five devices without overheating and affecting the device you'll place on top of it for inductive power charging.
