Hi, I'm Ollie!

When you rely so much on your cell phone for day-to-day life, you will spend way more time than you like looking for, connected to, and fumbling with a wired phone charger. Not only can this get pretty annoying and frustrating, constantly fumbling to get connected through the charging port of your phone can leave your phone damaged. Thankfully, advances in modern technology have given cell phone users a new options for keeping their battery charged in the form of wireless phone chargers, such as from TYLT. You are probably thinking, how do you charge a phone without a wire? Take a look at these common questions and answers to help you better understand this amazing cellular accessory. 

What exactly is a wireless phone charger?

A wireless phone charger is a small disc-like platform that allows you to simply lay your phone on top of it so it can charge. The charging station itself is plugged into a power supply, but your phone is not. When plugged in, the charger gives off a magnetic field of energy that automatically charges your cell phone battery. The charging occurs as a result of electromagnetic induction, which basically means two electrical items are paired together and the transfer of energy takes place between the two items. 

Do wireless phone chargers work with all types of phones?

Wireless phone chargers do work with most types of modern cell phones. However, there are some forms of older phones, both Android and iPhones that do not have the capability to be wirelessly charged. You can invest in a wireless charging adapter, which comes in the form of a replacement back for your cell phone that has a battery attachment to transfer energy from the charging station to the battery itself. 

Are there any downfalls to wireless chargers?

Even though wireless charging stations do have a wealth of advantages, there are a few small downfalls as well. One of the primary downfalls is the fact that you will not be able to use the phone while it is in the process of charging, which can take some getting used to. However, most users simply make it a habit to keep the charging station close and lay the phone on the charger when it is not in use, so it is always charged and ready to go when you leave the house. In addition, some wireless chargers will take a little longer to charge your phone, but this is not such a noticeable problem.
