--- title: Anker Ultra-Slim Qi-Enabled Wireless Charging Pad date: 2014-04-30 09:02:26 permalink: https://lesterchan.net/blog/2014/04/30/anker-ultra-slim-qi-enabled-wireless-charging-pad/ author: Lester Chan categories: - "Battery & Power" tags: - 5W - Amazon - Anker - HopShopGo - Qi - wireless charger --- I decided to give [Qi Wireless Charging](http://www.qiwireless.com/) a try and hence I bought the [Anker Ultra-Slim Qi-Enabled Wireless Charging Pad](http://www.ianker.com/product/71ANWCP-BSA) from [Amazon](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HIZ3ZI4) for US$25.99 (S$33). Since the product is sold by Anker directly instead of Amazon, I have to pay an additional US$5.22 (S$7) for shipping to [HopShopGo](http://www.hopshopgo.com/) (freight forwarder) because it doesn’t ship directly to Singapore. In total, I paid **US$31.21 (S$40)** excluding shipping to Singapore. Shipping it from HopShopGo together with my [Anker 40W 5V / 8A 5-Port Wall Charger](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GTGETFG) is an additional US$16.88 (S$21.30). The Anker Ultra-Slim Qi-Enabled Wireless Charging Pad is indeed light and slim, measuring only 88 x 88 x 6 (mm) and weighing only 52g. The only device I have now which supports Qi Wireless Charging is my [Nexus 7 (2013)](https://lesterchan.net/blog/2013/12/23/nexus-7-2013/). I hoping to get the successors of Nexus 5 and Nokia Lumia 1520 later on this year. I am pretty sure they will support Qi Wireless Charging since the current product already supports it. Wireless charging might be a little bit slow for some devices because this wireless charging pad can only output 1A. I wish it can output 2A like the [Samsung Wireless Charging Pad](http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EP-P100IJWUST2). This is my first time trying out wireless charging and I am liking it so far!
