Duracell Powermat2x PowerMat for 2 Devices (PMA compatible) - White

It is easy to match the phone's charging area to charger.But it takes a really long time to charge when compared to charging via USB port. Because of that, I do not rely solely on the Powermat to do most of the charging.For a major charge, I still have to rely on the USB port, which I hook up after dinner, because it's way faster.I use my phone between dinner and bedtime. So I top it off on the Powermat, and leave it there until morning, because even with 80% battery life, it still takes a couple of hours at least to recharge. But the Powermat turns itself off when 100% battery is reached, and I like that feature.So while not as powerful and as fast in charging as I would like it to be, all in all, I like it, and I've adapted a plan as to when to use it, and when not to use it.All in all, it works as intended.ADDENDUM:The one thing I did not want to do was constantly remove any protective back case that I have on my phone in order to charge.My Kyocera Duraforce Pro already has the charging points on the back of the phone. I use a rubber-type back case on the phone so those charging points are not in direct contact with the Powermat.This Powermat definitely does work with that protective case on my phone. I never have to remove the case. The particular back case I use (purchased on Amazon) states that it will work with wireless chargers, and the two play really nice with each other.So if you use a protective back case and the case's description states it will work with wireless charging, you may also find that to be true when using the Powermat. For me, that is a definite plus to kind of offset the slow charging.

I have an LG G3 (AT&T). I wanted to buy a wireless charger, so I bought the one I thought would go with (not this one). But, it didn't work. After some research into wireless charging, I realized at&t screwed me over without mentioning it.. So not only do you have to buy the not-so-protective circle case, you also have to buy this crappy charger instead of a newer and more high tech wireless charger.. When you place it on the charger, even when the phone is perfectly still, it will disconnect and (sometimes..if I was lucky) reconnect. You can tell because it makes a noise. This morning it was working alright. But now it's broken. When you plug the charger in, part of it lights up, and makes a noise still, but it no longer chargers my phone. I've tried both sides in all different angles. Nothing. Its junk.

The Duracell PMA Powermat wireless charger is an inexpensive device to do a wireless recharge. If you get a Duracell PMA Powermat (my cost was $5.99 including shipping) be sure to read the Amazon reviews of the product. The Duramat works well as long as you carefully follow the suggestions of reviewers. The Kyocera E6560 phone recharges on the wireless charger with no problems. You do not need to buy a special metal backplate or do anything other than properly place the phone on the mat. The Duramat did not heat up (see reports of other Duramat users). The charging sequence begins when you hear a rising "trill" from the cell phone. When you move the cellphone off of the wireless charging area, you will hear a descending trill. With practice you can get the phone to "hook up" with the charger in a couple of seconds. The Duramat has a cord that plugs into a standard AC recepticle. Finally, be sure you have a PMA type wireless recharger. The "qi" type will NOT work.

I believe now is the perfect time to write a review after many years, I haven’t used the product in at least five years. Prior to that I was using it every day and it was a winner. When all I had was an iPhone 4 S, and wireless charging like that was the craze. This was a great addition and a case for that I’ll be honest the charging speeds were very slow, but looking back at it now it was considered cutting edge tech. I think nowadays there’s really no use for product like this as I don’t believe anybody is still using iPhones of that generation, however, if you’re one of those few people who are still using an outdated iPhone, but still want wireless charging than this is the route to go.

Eventually replaced this charging pad with a round pad from Anchor. This pad has a very narrow range area where you have to place your phone for the charger to connect. Your phone has to sit crossways the pad. If you line up your phone parallel with the pad it will not charge. On multiple occasions both me and my cat have tipped the phone and moved the phone just enough to stop it from charging only to wake up to a run down battery. You have to place the phone on the charger in just the right place and look for the charging light on your phone to come on. Under ideal conditions it does charge your phone.
