What Is Wireless Charging and Why Do I Need It?

Wireless charging, also known as inductive charging, is a new type of portable device charging. Unlike traditional charging, wireless charging is just what it sounds like – it occurs without wires. Instead of using wires, wireless charging takes place using electronic magnetic induction, which provides electricity to a portable device like a smartphone.

Wireless charging is a newly popular technology that is gradually changing how people use and charge their devices, and it is particularly popular as the Apple wireless charger and the qi wireless charger. This blog explains wireless charging, how it works, and its benefits.

How Does It Work?

Wireless charging has been around for decades, but it has become newly popular as advanced phones have begun to include wireless charging capabilities, and wireless charging pads have become common as power banks and even in many new cars and trucks.

There are three types of wireless charging technologies:

  • Charging pads that use tightly-coupled electromagnetic or non-radiative charging – this is what almost all wireless phone charging banks use
  • Through-surface chargers use electromagnetic resonant charging that can travel about an inch
  • Uncoupled radio frequency wireless charging that allows a small about of charge to travel several feet

In general, wireless charging uses a magnetic copper coil that creates an oscillating magnetic field that can create current and enable power transmission. The larger the coil, the faster and further the charge can travel.

What Are the Benefits of Wireless Charging?

Wireless charging has a number of advantages. Some of them include:

  • Less clutter: WIth no cables to worry about, you won’t get your device tangled up and can throw away that drawer full of cables. A wireless charging stand is a simple piece of equipment.
  • One-stop charging: The qi wireless charger in particular is the perfect iPhone 13 wireless charger and also works for other devices that can be charged wirelessly such as tablets, headsets, and wireless earbuds.
  • Universal compatibility: Thanks to wireless charging, you don’t need a cache of cords to manage and can instead handle everything with one simple device.

Charge As You Go

Being able to charge on the go is a major benefit of using a wireless charging set-up. Forget a cable? No problem! All you need to do is literally touch your wireless charging enabled phone to your wireless charging power bank and the charging begins.

Safe Charging

Wireless charging is completely safe for your phone and its battery. It will not damage the phone battery and is not harmful to your health.

Charge Multiple Devices at Once

With the right wireless charger, you can charge multiple devices at once. In some instances, you can charge two phones at the same time by placing them alongside each other on a dual charging pad.

No More Knotted or Tangled Cables

This may be the best benefit of them all. With wireless charging, you no longer need to use a cable to connect your power bank to your phone or other item that is being charged wirelessly. Simply place the electronic item onto the wireless charger and the charging begins. Say so long to knotted cables.

No More Need to Replace Cables

Another great benefit of wireless charging is that you do not need to buy extra cables to have in your bag, by your bed, in your car, or at your workstation. Plus, many cables do frequently wear out – with wireless charging, there is nothing to worry about.
