Yeah, kinda bizarre that they don't specify, that's like...the spec.
Sites have said it's 11.13Wh (~comparable to a iPhone 12), but then even at that, how efficient is the Qi charger itself? How much of that capacity do you actually get?
- arcticbull 5y agoQi charger efficiency is roughly 50% right, I suspect that should be a good approximation.
- addaon 5y agoThis seems a bit low, do you have a source? While I haven't worked with the Qi standard directly, I've used 200 kHz inductive power transfer in other contexts, and efficiency numbers in my experience are in the 75% - 85% range for well-aligned coils. The total efficiency will be a bit less than this (moving charge in and out of a battery is pretty good, but not 100%), but I'd be surprised to see 5W transfer with a total efficiency much less than 70%.
- arcticbull 5y agoThis article is a bit sensationalist, but they claim to have gotten mid-60s efficiency [1]. I think I misread them initially when they said "47% more power" - I took that to mean 47% efficiency, but on re-reading it's closer to 66%. My bad!
