Qi Wireless Charging

  • The Idea behind Qi:

    Any device should work with any charger.

What is Wireless Charging?

The term “wireless charging” often gives people the misconception that your phone isn’t plugged in but will still charge. While that is technically true, the charging pad has to be plugged into a power supply, be it a wall plug, computer or power bank so you’re not completely free from wires.

The Technology Powering Qi

Simple, efficient and safe, Qi charges or powers an array of devices, from smartphones to cordless kitchen appliances. Qi combines induction and resonance technologies to deliver a superior standard. Kensington’s product uses induction technology to charge your smartphone.

Qi is a standard developed by the Wireless Power Consortium for inductive electrical power transfer over distances of up to 4cm.

How it Works

With inductive charging technology, the charge passes between a transmitter and receiver coil placed closely together, usually only separated by the outer casing of the two devices (<7mm). The coils must be aligned to make the connection, making inductive charging great for direct-contact applications.Some Qi transmitters use a multi-coil system, eliminating the need to align the device on the charging area.
