According to the European Commission, a common external power supply / "charger" standard is desirable because, Incompatibility of chargers for mobile phones is a major environmental problem and an inconvenience for users across the EU. Currently specific chargers are sold together with specific mobile phones.
The first standard for vehicle wireless charging was the SAE J2954 standard. It allows inductive car charging over a pad, with power delivery up to 11 kW. [23] As of 2024, standards for higher-power wireless charging and for charging while driving are being developed. [24]
The ITU published Recommendation ITU-T L.1000, "Universal power adapter and charger solution for mobile terminals and other hand-held ICT devices", which specifies a charger similar in most respects to that of the GSMA/OMTP proposal and to the European Common external power supply. The ITU recommendation was expanded and updated in June, 2011. [16]
Universal charger or common charger refers to various projects to standardize the connectors of power supplies, particularly for battery-powered devices. Since the publication of the USB Power Delivery standard in 2012, and the USB-C connector in 2014, USB-C has become a widespread standard for charging mobile phones.
Qi (/ tʃ iː / CHEE) is an open standard for inductive charging developed by the Wireless Power Consortium.It allows compatible devices, such as smartphones, to receive power when placed on a Qi charger, which can be effective over distances up to 4 cm (1.6 in). [1]
The proliferation of portable wireless communication devices such as mobile phones, tablet, and laptop computers in recent decades is currently driving the development of mid-range wireless powering and charging technology to eliminate the need for these devices to be tethered to wall plugs during charging. [172]
Charging docks supply power and do not include a host device or data pins, allowing any capable USB device to charge or operate from a standard USB cable. Charging cables provide power connections, but not data. In a charge-only cable, the data wires are shorted at the device end, otherwise, the device may reject the charger as unsuitable.
The technology is sometimes called "conductive wireless charging". [1] The need for a conductor-to-conductor connection between the power supply and the device is the main difference from inductive charging and other forms of wireless charging. The conductive power supply, often a charging base or pad, detects when a compatible receiver or ...
