How to add FAST wireless charging.

[dvaz]

So as the title says - I know there are plenty of wireless pads for the TM3, but these are the slow type that will still drain the phone while having the screen on / gps ( Waze ). I have a fast wireless charger dock in my old car and it was works great.

I have seen people mention they can use a pass-thru powerback to power the wireless quick charger.
Have anyone done that, and if so what combo ( powerback + chargeing pad ) are you using?

I use this one and it allows passthrough and fast charging with the Taptes v2 charger

Try the nomad one. It has a battery in the unit that it actually uses to charge your phone wirelessly. Mine charges somewhat quickly.

The Jeda is able to positively charge a Pixel 3 XL with its screen on, for what that's worth.

The Nomad does not have a battery anymore. Not for a long while now.

You need to use the 12V connection, here is how to

It's not the type of charger that makes it faster or slower.

How about for an iPhone XS Max?

I use a Nomad and it charges far faster than I can use the phone's battery. Even running video/audio I'm still able to go from a low battery to full charge during a relatively short drive.

I did this with my Jeda wireless pad and it works well.

Does the trim cover the hole? I wasn't able to see if it did or not in that video.

I pre-ordered mine but I have no idea if it does or doesn't have the battery. It was one of the reasons I went with the Nomad. How can I tell if it has the battery? Once I get mine back from the SC I guess I can try unplugging it and seeing if it still charges?

That would work, I imagine. Also you can probably easily tell since the original one was quite bulky due to the battery, no?

According to TapTes, you can use a battery pack with QC2.0 or QC3.0 output to get fast wireless charging.

I ordered it, i see if that works. Ill prolly end up wiring the 12v to the center console.

It's not noticeably heavy or bulky but then again I don't have anything to compare it to. I've never seen or held any of the other options in real life.

I have the Jeda with a Pixel 3 (regular size) and if Im streaming with the screen on its draining.

Fascinating. I just left work with about an 85% charge on the battery, and with the screen on and streaming audio via bluetooth, it was a shade under 95% when I got home; a 20 mile commute.

Just an update:

I ordered the TapTes model I linked above and used a QC 2.0 / 3.0 Battery pack to power ($25 buxs) it instead of the car USB - which is connected to charge the powerpack, aka "Passthru" mode.

It showed Fast Wireless Charging on my S9!

Success. No need to route the 12v power over.

How long would those battery packs last before they degrade? They probably get very hot in the summer.

 

[preilly44]

I like the idea of using these batteries for quick charging, but is anybody afraid of them getting extremely hot in a hot car over the summer? I could see a battery exploding then the media blaming it on a bad Tesla battery starting a fire.

Which battery pack?
