    Wonder if the charging card for the galaxy note 3 will go on sale too?

  • KENZO01 on 11/03/2014 - 02:07

    Going to have to wait a long time to get it. Doesnt leave the ware house for 20 days!!

    The charger mat is pretty solid and good quality, not plastic made.

    YES, plastic made. In fact it is made of 100% plastic, with a plastic front, a plastic rear and plastic finish.

    We got one when they were $19 - it works well to charge a Nexus 7.

    Only hassle is that it is too small for a tablet, so you have to fiddle about to find the "charging sweet spot". My son finds it easier to place the talbet down on the shelf, then lie this charger thingy on the top (rather than placing device on the charger). This would not be the same problem with a mobile phone.

    • TheContact on 11/03/2014 - 07:49

      Is the top a soft touch finish? Not that I need any more Qi charging pads..

      • Pr0XyD on 11/03/2014 - 09:01

        yes it's got a soft rubbery feeling top.

    • PissLUR on 11/03/2014 - 13:02

      Thanks for the correction.

    The input current really should be 1.5a or higher.

    I guess you can get one earlier and cheaper off ebay.

    Kogan means I will pass

    • zuccs on 11/03/2014 - 09:18

      To be fair, I have the non-slim model and it's the best built wireless charger I've owned..

  • dan199 on 11/03/2014 - 08:12

    What is its output current? With an input current of 1A it's likely to be only ~500mA output yeah?

    • PissLUR on 11/03/2014 - 13:01

      It depends of the charger and the quality of your usb cable.

      For me ~800mAh

      • Alzori on 11/03/2014 - 19:41

        That 800mA reading, is that what your phone is measuring? Looking at these charger reviews it seems ~780mA is the max that the N5 takes as input, if this charger provides 780 also then it seems like it's charging at the maximum pace.

  • bleugh on 11/03/2014 - 08:38
    +1

    Nah, the INPUT is the rating that's recommended max for the power supply. The less OUTPUT on a plug pack power supply, the cheaper it is.

    A manufacturer including a 2A supply for a 1A product is good practice as a supply run at 1/2 it's rating will last a lot longer than one run at 90% of its rating

    By providing just a 1a supply, the company is being cheap.
    Output current will still likely be 700+mA, assume only 80% efficient circuitry (conversion to wireless) and you're driving that supply hard.

    • IJustKnowStuff on 11/03/2014 - 09:17

      You'll find the conversion is 70-73%

  • hooray on 11/03/2014 - 09:29

    I have a cheap eBay QI charger and it says 1a supply. I also have to jiggle it a bit to get the sweet spot
    I put it on at night and its always fully charged in the morning. I believe that it is better to recharge batteries slowly anyway

    • Lukian on 11/03/2014 - 10:26
      +1

      It is, but it's also better not to expose batteries to heat (which wireless charging tech seems to generate a lot of). So we'll need to see review some studies on battery life.

      • dazweeja on 11/03/2014 - 16:35

        It depends on the charger - My Nexus 5 gets hotter in general use than it does when charging on my Nokia DT-900.

    • nerobass on 11/03/2014 - 19:18

      i assume i have a similar one runs about 500mA but yes after a night it is charged

  • freo on 11/03/2014 - 12:25

    Whats with the $1 ones on ebay? Do they work?
    Or even the $9 ones like this. Is there a technical difference for the $15 Kogan one?

    • PissLUR on 11/03/2014 - 13:00

      $9 is for the receiver.

      • ozhunter68 on 12/03/2014 - 13:46

        Have a closer look. I think you will find it's for pad and receiver.

    • Alzori on 11/03/2014 - 19:54

      Check the options, it's $23 for the charging pad.

      Here's one that appears to truly be $9.70: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/201048336286

      EDIT: Kind of funny - while it's being delivered cheaply from Hong Kong, it's still estimating that it could arrive by the 27th, beats Kogan as they wouldn't even be shipping by then.

  • abadacus on 11/03/2014 - 12:43

    Add a 5 year warranty for $2.25 which brings the total to $17.25 :P

  • jok3r on 11/03/2014 - 12:52

    Does anyone know if the power plug is .au? or do i require an adapter also?

    I've only bad experiences with Kogan. Takes a while if you pre-order stuff like iphones. I'd rather have the money sitting in my account rather than theirs. I'd pass and go straight to ebay.

  • YLC on 11/03/2014 - 16:07

    thanks op.

  • Jinglebell on 11/03/2014 - 16:22

    To use this pad I would need to buy the charging card for my Galaxy S4 which is currently $15, so add up to $30 am I right?

    • PissLUR on 11/03/2014 - 16:24

      yes.

    Has anyone tried one of these with a spigen/rubber case on the Nexus 5?

    • PissLUR on 11/03/2014 - 17:08

      I had spigen slim armor and spigen ultra hybrid cases. All works.

    • timmypete on 11/03/2014 - 19:01

      Not sure, but I have one and it charges with a Diztronic rubber case for my Nexus 5.

  • letthiswork1 on 11/03/2014 - 16:37

    Anyone got this working on HTC One?

    • eug on 11/03/2014 - 17:04

      you can't insert a charging receiver into the HTC One, unfortunately.

        ALMOST miss my lumia 920

  • bargainerftw on 11/03/2014 - 17:09

    Been wanting one of these for a while for my Nexus. $15 why not :)

  • WhyAmICommenting on 11/03/2014 - 17:15

    FYI, my Nexus 4 gets about 10 deg hotter compared with charging over usb and, naturally, takes longer to charge.

  • giventofly on 11/03/2014 - 17:24

    These work really well with the Nexus 5.

    bought one last year to charge the nexus 7, takes alot longer to charge than by cord. i dont mean just a few hours either i mean more than overnight and its still not charged, sometimes it would just stop charging too.. wouldnt recommend

  • timmypete on 11/03/2014 - 19:02

    I got one last time they were on sale. No complaints, but I marginally prefer an eBay one I bought about $22.

      Nope, it's built-in.

          Oh I should have also mentioned, the 2013 Nexus 7 is the one that has wireless charging. The old one doesn't.

  • fusion17 on 12/03/2014 - 10:58

    Damn missed out. If anyone changes their mind….

    Are there any similar small/slim ones on eBay?
    I was going to try rig one in my car, and thus risk breaking it.
    So needs to be cheap!

  • PissLUR on 01/04/2014 - 19:34

    Dispatched via AP.

  • Callison on 07/04/2014 - 21:14

    Got mine on the weekend (Perth).
