Qi Induction Phone Chargers
I purchased a Samsung Qi Induction charger for my wife's Samsung phone. I thought this would be great for her because she has severe arthritis in her hands and plugging charger cords into her phone is always challenging.
The induction charging works well but I read in the instructions, that the induction pad should be unplugged when not in use. This virtually defeats the purpose of buying the pad if she still needs to connect and disconnect the plug.
I know I can probably rig up a switch to turn the power off and on. This is, maybe the only solution although I consider this a cumbersome solution and difficult to relocate from place to place.
First question: Is there something, like a metal coaster that you could lay on the disk to protect it or would that have the opposite effect?
Second question: How much will leaving the coil plugged in shorten the life or cause a fire hazard?
Any other solution would be appreciated.
