How do I use a wireless charger pad?
To use a wireless charger pad, first plug it into a power source and place your compatible device on the pad, making sure it's centered and aligned with any guidelines provided. Wait for the charging process to start, which may be indicated by a light or other indicator. It's important to note that not all devices are compatible with all wireless chargers, so check your device's specifications to ensure compatibility with the charger and the charging standard.
How do wireless charging pads work?
Wireless charger pads use a technology called inductive charging to transfer energy wirelessly from the charger to the device being charged. This works through two coils, one in the charger and one in the device, that create an electromagnetic field. Most wireless chargers use MagSafe, Qi or Qi2 modules. Compatibility, charging speeds and other features vary based on the wireless charging technology.

I recently stayed at a name brand hotel and the room had these phone pad chargers with additional outlets Iso the name, model & purchase location
Curious what phones/cases everyone is using for those that take advantage of the wireless charging pad.
I personally have an IPhone 15 Pro Max with a chunky OtterBox case so while the phone does appear to be charging, all the happens is the phone gets hot. No charge is actually added to the phone.
I use my phone often as an automotive technician so keeping my phone protected is a must. I am curious what the most protective case I can get is, that also works with the charging pad. Thanks!
