The “Slow Charge” Frustration
One of the most common complaints about wireless charging in the car is that it seems “too slow,” especially while running a power-hungry navigation app. The truth is, the mount is rarely the problem. The biggest obstacle to efficient wireless charging is usually wrapped right around your phone: your case.
The Physics of Magnetic Induction
Our Wireless Charging Dashboard Mount uses the Qi-standard induction method. This relies on an electromagnetic field passing from the coils in the mount into the receiving coils in your phone. Distance and material density are the enemies of this process.
How to Optimize Your Setup:
- The “3mm Rule”: Wireless charging works best when the phone is as close to the mount as possible. If you use a heavy-duty, rugged “tank” style case, you are adding 4mm to 5mm of dense rubber and plastic between the coils. This severely weakens the power transfer, leading to slow charging and excess heat.
- Ditch the Wallet Case: If your phone case doubles as a wallet, you must remove the credit cards before placing it on the wireless mount. The magnetic induction can permanently erase the magnetic strips on your cards, and the thickness blocks the charge.
-
The Auto-Alignment Advantage: For the best efficiency, the coils must align perfectly. Our mount is designed to securely grip your phone and center it precisely over the charging zone, eliminating the “guesswork” that often leads to inefficient power transfer on flat desk chargers.
Conclusion:
For the ultimate wireless experience on the road, pair your dashboard mount with a slim, standard phone case. Give the induction coils a clear path, and enjoy a consistently full battery at every destination.
