Things to know when using FreePower

Expect slower speeds when charging wirelessly; but reduce wear and tear on your battery

Wireless charging is generally slower than using a traditional wired connection. However, charging at a slower speed promotes better battery health. Unlike fast charging, which can accelerate battery degradation and reduce overall lifespan, wireless charging helps preserve your battery for longer use and to protect your investments in your devices.

Phones can get warm while charging wirelessly; but it’s nothing out of the ordinary

Your device may feel warm during wireless charging because transferring electricity generates heat naturally due to resistance in the charging circuit and battery. This is normal and happens with all wireless charging systems. While plugged-in charging can also cause warming, the heat may feel more noticeable with wireless charging due to how energy is transferred

Avoid thick cases, wallet cases, and pop sockets

Thick cases, wallet cases, and pop sockets block or limit wireless charging because they create physical distance between the phone and the charger, disrupting the wireless power field required for charging. Additionally, materials like metal or magnetic components in these accessories can interfere with the wireless signal, further hindering or stopping your charge

Interested in maximizing performance? Follow these tips and tricks

To optimize wireless charging, ensure there are no obstructive cases or accessories on your phone, keep the charger away from direct sunlight, and maintain room temperatures below 75°F. For iPhones, adjust settings such as disabling Optimized Battery Charging and Clean Energy Charging for better performance.

Avoid placing heavy and hot objects on the surface, and don’t worry about cleaning

Avoid placing heavy, hot, or metal objects between the charger and your phone, as these can interfere with charging or damage the countertop material. The embedded charger allows safe cleaning with any solution and remains unaffected by spills, ensuring a seamless and durable experience.
