Charging Pad Transmitter suitable for Qi enabled mobile phones and other devices.
Qi (pronounced 'CHEE') is the internationally adopted
standard for wireless charging of digital devices. Induction coils are
used to transmit and receive power via electromagnetic induction that
will in turn charge the battery of the device.
A Qi enabled device is simply placed on top of the Qi charging
pad for the device to start charging. No wires or connectors are
required.
The Qi standard is gaining greater popularity as many more devices have
become compatible recently. Major airports such as London Heathrow &
JFK in New York have already adopted Qi into charging stations. Major
coffee shop chains have started to follow suit and Qi hotspots are
expected to soon become common in places such as transport stations,
sporting arenas and even in motor vehicles as is currently being
developed by the likes of Chrysler, General Motors and Toyota.
Qi was developed by the Wireless Power Consortium that currently has
over 180 companies as members including the following well known
manufacturers:-

*Qi ready phones are ready to use with the Enecharger charging pad.
#Qi enabled phones will require a Qi receiver card to be inserted into
the battery compartment of the phone. The phone will then charge in the
same way as a Qi ready phone from that point onwards. iPhone 4/4S &
iPhone 5/5C/5S require a Qi receiver jacket.
