QI Wireless Charger Review
This is a charging port for Qi compatible systems. The model number for this unit I have is called a Q8. It is available in black or white. It came with the charger, instructions manual, and a USB to micro USB charging cable. The unit is very light weight, compact, and portable.
First and foremost, make sure that what you are wanting to charge is QI compatible. This is not a perfect science sadly. Your unit may be QI compatible but there is still a small chance that it will not work with this unit. All wireless chargers regardless of brand or type can have this issue. I have 3 devices that are QI compatible in my house, 2 tablets and 1 cell phone. The 2 tablets work with this charger without any issues at all. Sadly my cell phone does not respond to this wireless charger.
The charger is super easy to hook up. All it requires is a wall mount USB charging port to plug into. Which is not included with this charger making me a sad panda. Glad I had one that came with my cell phone. Once you have it plugged into the light socket you attach the mirco USB end into the charging pad. The unit also has 2 USB ports that you can hook cables to for charging as well. This works out well for me since I am using my phone socket charger for the wireless charger.
When you get this unit you will need to read through the instructions manual fully so you can understand the lights and how it is supposed to work. It also gives possible reasons that may not work with your device. Things like the housing being to thick for the current to travel through to charge. If you think this maybe the case with why your device is not responding to this charger, you can simply remove the back and set the device on it and see if it responds to the charger.
If you are looking for a nice Qi compatible wireless charger then this is a charging pad you should consider. With it being wireless it takes away a lot of the damage to the micro USB charging slots on your devices from being constantly plugged and unplugged. Not to mention it saves a few seconds when heading out because there is no charging cable to fight with. I would like to thank Ocheetech and affiliates for sending me this QI wireless charger to try out and share my opinion.
