A: Standard wireless charging is 5W whereas Fast Wireless charging is charging above 5W up to a maximum of 15W. Purely anecdotally, I have been told by a dealer that they had some instances of iPhones (I don’t know which models) experiencing issues while using a dampener, but I haven’t been able to verify them and there are a huge number of people using them without any problems. If the power button on the wireless head is switched on, it will draw 12mA. If the power button on the wireless head is switched off, it will draw 6mA There are several differences between bother of these charing heads. The weatherproof version of the charger is designed for outdoor use on motorcycles as it needs to withstand vibration, impacts, UV, and be resistant to chemicals (petrol, oil etc) which requires more durable materials and a very robust design. A: Wireless charging is only 70-80% efficient so the additional 20-30% of energy is converted into heat. In normal conditions, this is not usually a problem, however, using the wireless charger in your car in direct sunlight can compound the issue and cause some phones to overheat.

The arm itself can be rotated through 360° in 10° increments, and the head, which mounts on the other end, can also be spun in the same way. There’s no pitch adjustment in the head, but you can of course rotate the bar clamp to suit. The Motorcycle Wireless Charger may draw a small amount of power from your battery when not in use depending on how you have wired it up. Peak Design has a small selection of motorcycle mounts for its range of phone cases, though some of the prices are quite high.

The RAM universal X-Grip mounts are popular with many (including road-test legend Simon Hargreaves), but they’re far from a subtle design, and some users report the phone’s buttons being pressed by the mount’s arms. Standard wireless charging is 5W whereas Fast Wireless charging is charging above 5W up to a maximum of 15W. Construction is predominantly reinforced nylon with stainless steel pivot pins and threaded inserts, the powder-coated steel base expanding and contracting between 38mm to 70mm, which suits both of my VFR’s reservoirs great. A: The Motorcycle Wireless Charger may draw a small amount of power from your battery when not in use depending on how you have wired it up. With fast adaptive charging of up to 36 watts, your iPhone or Samsung Galaxy will stay charged for longer.

When I first started using the system, getting the phone onto the adapter was a bit fidgety. But once you get the hang of it, it is literally a two or three-second operation. You can later release the phone from the adapter and wireless charging mount by pushing down on the arm(s) underneath the phone. After that, removal is a piece of cake. A: The charging head fits all our motorbike mounts and mounts which feature our index connecting feature such as the Out Front Mount Pro. The issue is attributed to the vibrations generated by the bike's engine, rather than the vibrations from the road. This is evidenced by the absence of any vibration issues occurring to phones when riding a bicycle on and off road. Designed to fix in place of the screws that hold the lid on many motorcycle and scooter brake / clutch reservoirs, this mount is a very clever design that opens up even more options. Unfortunately, the weather during the testing period was Florida sunny all the time. As such, I could not test how the wireless charger performs in the rain. However, the phone always charged to 100% even when multiple apps were running, including Google Maps.

If this happens, remove your phone from the charger and allow it to cool before continuing to charge. If possible, positioning the phone/charger near an A/C vent can help keep the phone and charger cool. I would then video the devices as I rode on paved and on sandy, wash boarded roads and record the movements of each device. Mous has also developed a range of motorcycle mounts to suit its cases, though options are rather limited for now, and prices seem to be on the high side. A: There are several differences between bother of these charing heads. The weatherproof version of the charger is designed for outdoor use on motorcycles as it needs to withstand vibration, impacts, UV, and be resistant to chemicals (petrol, oil etc) which requires more durable materials and a very robust design. A: This is usually the result of a recent software update and is most commonly resolved by turning your phone off and on again.
