Smart Wireless chargers are good and safe!

Smart wireless chargers are good and safe! We love the idea of being able to just set our smartphone or tablet on a wireless charger. It eliminates the hassle of having to look for a cable to connect your smart device.

Despite their convenience, some of us are still reluctant to adopt the items. In this blog, we answer a few questions hoping that it will make it easier for potential users to understand the technology.

How do smart wireless chargers work?

In order to be able to use smart wireless chargers, your smartphone or tablet must be Qi compatible. All of the major mobile phone companies support it.  Apple iPhone now boast wireless charging on its latest models, and Samsung has already featured the technology for some time.

Wireless charging works through the concept of electromagnetic induction between two devices. Once placed on the wireless charger, your device starts to send a regular test signal to the wireless charger to check for compatibility.

Once the device and charger confirm their compatibility, the charging through induction begins. While charging, the phone or tablet and the charger must remain in contact. They both switch into standby mode when the battery reaches a full charge. Also, the Qi charger base activates and transfers energy only when you place a compatible device on it. So they use a little less power.

Are smart wireless chargers safe?

Wireless chargers do emit EMF (Electro Magnetic Field) radiation, , but the average induction wireless charger creates a field no more dangerous than radio waves. It isn’t strong enough to have any effect on the human body. If anything, plugging in and unplugging a cable is more dangerous. There’s an ever so slight chance it could fray and shock you. By contrast, induction hardware can be safely encased in thick plastic and still work. This technology has long been used with electric toothbrushes: the units can remain sealed and waterproof.

Therefore, there is nothing to worry about.

Will the smart wireless charger work with a case?

For the most part, your smart wireless charger will work fine with a case. You don’t need to have direct contact between the phone or tablet and the wireless pad to initiate charging, so having a few millimeters (max 5mm) between your device and the charger isn’t going to stop the process. Avoid thick or metal cases, if you can, alternatively remove the cover while using the smart wireless charger.

Can smart wireless chargers damage the device?

Not entirely true. Chances of your smartphone or tablet getting damaged are high if you use a low-quality wireless charger.

Good quality wireless chargers are built to prevent damage to the phone or tablet while in use. As we mentioned before, both the device and the smart wireless chargers have built in technology that allows them to go into stand by mode once the battery is fully charged.

In addition, by continually topping up the battery during the day and not letting your device battery dip below 50%, you will actually increase the lifespan of your battery.
