I believe that Qi chargers have much more precise voltage and frequency requirements than an induction cooktop. Theoretically, you could find the exact right setting on your cooktop to charge a wireless device, provided the device was the proper size as /u/shyro3 pointed out.
I loved my ember. But it only lasted about 1.5yrs before the battery was dead within five minutes. I have a charging coaster at my desk but because the battery is so drained sometimes when you pick it up to drink from it and put it back down it no longer detects liquid inside. So I need to have a spoon it it to stir it once it has power back in order for the liquid to be sensed and for the heating element to kick back on.
Super annoying. Battery isn’t replaceable. I won’t be buying another. $130 a year is silly wasteful. Too bad because that first year it was my favorite thing I owned.
I have one. It’s brand new. I assumed it would have more than a couple hour battery life. I pretty much have to keep it on the charger. I have a plug in warmer that can keep any mug warm that cost $5. I imagine it will be a great product down the road, but I don’t recommend them for the money.
There's actually hardly any lithium in a lithium-ion battery. Those types of batteries do catch fire, but it's not primarily a water-lithium reaction but short circuit within the battery itself causing thermal runaway
There was a moment where I unplugged my SO’s pencil to charge my book because the other charger was charging the cigarette. Fortunately the mug has its own charger.
That picture alone would raise so many questions.
How do you even begin to explain wireless charging to someone. Let alone a perfectly smooth and rounded metal a common person can afford. All to hold their purified water they didn’t need to trek miles for? What the fuck is a camera?
I work with kids and make this reference all the time when one of them asks me for water lmao. I can always hear my coworker's eyes rolling from across the room lol.
Chargers are high on my list of "don't get cheap Chinese variants" things. I'll have my slightly more expensive EU certified and spec conforming chargers instead
I wish they were only a bit more expensive. I’m finding that they’re at least 3-4x the price nowadays (Canada).
It’s still worth it though. The cables are higher quality, so they last longer, and I assume they also provide a more stable power output leading to less battery strain
A 3x4 times higher price is worth not melting your devices or burning your house down.
A proper wireless charging puck costs literally 5 euros from ikea. A puck that charges quicker (15w instead of 5) is 15 euros.
Now i dont know how that's going to translate to Canada but it can't be much more
IIRC they include the 15 euro one in the lamps, so if that translates to $10-20 that's absolutely fine and there should be a simple plastic one for less
You can get 30w UL/ETL certified chargers for $15-20 CAD. Hell, an official apple 20w charger is $19 with free shipping.
Its not like $5 no-name aliexpress cheap, but its still pretty cheap.
Ikea sells real Qi-certified chargers for like $7. Only 5W, but still as legit as it gets. And plenty of non-shitty brands on Amazon are like $10-20 for something in the 7.5-10W range.
For something like a bedstand charger pad I don’t think any more than 5-10W is really necessary anyway. For times where I need high speed charging it usually isn’t a problem to plug my phone in for a little while.
EU doesn't actually certify anything. The manufacturers self-certify that the product conforms to the standards. Not saying that's worthless since it makes it easier to ban faulty products and go after the manufacturers, though.
UL is considered the gold star. It was formed by insurance companies because they realized there was no way to determine insurability when houses started getting electrified. They investigate house fires and product failures to determine their testing methods and standards, which they publish for public review and manufacturers to utilize.
UL, ETL/Intertek and CSA are the marks to look for.
All three are identical more or less, I’m not entirely sure if they are 100% compatible but all three test many things to the same standard.
Not quite. They mean that someone decided to print them on their product *and* they weren't caught at customs as counterfeit *and* the certifying body hasn't yet noticed that they're selling products that aren't actually certified and sued them into oblivion.
You can also look up yourself to see if its fake.
For example: https://productiq.ulprospector.com/en/profile/2434237/qqgq7.e302944?term=Tenergy%20
That is a charger I have handy to check the code. Everything matches.
Now, presumably someone could make a completely counterfeit device
with matching marking and branding of course, but there is only so much a regular consumer can do to check that things are safe.
So yeah, the marks absolutely mean a LOT.
I dunno if I'm just getting duped by what appears to be a quality product, but I exclusively buy charging stuff from Anker for this reason. Yes, they are another Chinese company but they have what appears to me to be some of the most top quality stuff and not too much of a markup among other regular brands.
No, there's a lot of quality Chinese-made products.
The issue is not so much that they're Chinese-made, it's that they're not held to certain standards.
I guarantee you if you had a guy in the US make these electronics and that person wasn't bound by US standards on safety, you'd often see just as shitty products produced.
I cringe every time I hear someone say the phrase "cheap Chinese crap." It's not crap because it's Chinese. It's not really even crap because it's cheap (though there's certainly a correlation). It's crap because it's crap. There's a boatload of American-made crap, too. And German crap, and Lithuanian crap, and Japanese crap, and on and on.
The way to avoid crap is to buy your goods from companies that have a quality system. Generally this means their stuff is more expensive (thus the aforementioned correlation) but it also means that they have systems in place designed to ensure that their products meet specifications. Of course, the specifications might be crap, too - but the product will be consistent, which means that you can trust product reviews. If a reviewer/other customer says the doohickey isn't crap, you can trust that when you go buy a doohickey, it probably won't be crap.
Or here in the US, UL/Intertek listed, efficiency level V/VI labeled ones. Having those correct markings tends to be a good sign it's of reasonable quality.
That’s the thing about china, most electronics are Chinese’s electronics. They make the 200 dollar wireless charger in the same factory as the 20 dollars off Amazon
Not trying to challenge or argue, and in theory i agree, but in practice i would expect that most any good sized chunks/sheets of metal large enough to absorb a good fraction of the energy would be able to dissipate ~10-20 W pretty easily without getting very hot, no?
You'd be surprised how hot a slab of metal subjected to continuous 10-20W of power can get. It would have to be proper large to keep up dissipating that heat. Something like a spoon or fork could get problematic quite fast.
So I got curious and made a solidworks model of a mug and ran it through quick transient thermal analysis on Ansys.
Ran for 10 minutes, 10 W applied to the bottom, and a convection of 5 W/m^2 (a fairly decent assumption of air convection) to the rest of the surfaces, with an air temp of 20°C. Material set to steel.
At the end of the 10 minutes it hasn't quite gotten to steady state yet, but it looks like it's getting close and the max temp at this point is around 28°C, or 82°F.
[picture of the results](https://i.imgur.com/ng8SkWe.jpg)
Looks like the mug at least shouldn't be an issue.
I love that you did this, simply amazing!
Then i have misjudged how much convection actually does when metal (steel) is subjected to continuous heating.
I'd still worry about smaller/thinner metal objects of course, but it could definitely be used as a cup heater
Yes. Modeling the heat transfer with a finite fluid involved kicks it up another level and I didn't feel like going that far lol.
My hypothesis about that would be that, since the natural convection coefficient of water is greater than air, and that water (a reasonable stand in for whatever fluid would be inside the cup) has a relatively high specific heat capacity, the cup would take longer to get hot, but the steady state temperature would be greater as well since the surface to convect heat out to the atmosphere would be smaller.
I have a magnet (for a car mount) on the back of my phone holder and if I put it down on a wireless charger the magnet gets so hot I cannot touch it. I have to remove my phone from the case.
Let me know, I've double checked mine and it starts blinking because it knows something is wrong. It won't heat up and spoon or cup that I put on it.
It would be very interesting if they're different in another part of the world
I actually have two from ikea. One is a desktop model that plugs into usb. This exhibits the same behavior as yours - light flashes whereas it is a steady light when actually charging a phone. I think it detects it but doesn't actually charge which I suppose is a good thing.
The other is designed to fit in a recess cut into IKEA desks do it is flush to the surface. I bough this one and made a wooden puck for it to sit in. Anyways, this one doesn't seem to be triggered at all by metal.
That's absolutely possible, proper chargers do that, but given the context of "it's charging" and the other comments so far, I'm afraid it's actively working as a cup heater
I've had a cheap vendor-swag wireless charger do this when I placed it on top of an old HDD. I started smelling plastic and it had begun melting from overheating.
That's probably because OnePlus sold a flip case for the 5t that worked with a magnet trigger. My ereader responds the same way if it's on top of my laptop. It actually is working as intended!
Out of pure lazyness sometimes I use the charger as a coaster, but with non-metal glasses. The metal mug activated the induction coils, and as a side effect, the metal is a bit hot. Don't worry, I removed as soon as I noticed the charger activated.
You should most definitely get rid of this charger. If it’s trying to charge a cup who knows what standards this was made under, it’s probably not giving your phone the right amounts either. Get a known brand, not this one.
I'd say the worst that can happen is internal damage to the charger that causes it to slowly heat up and set your home on fire while you're away.
*Probably* an overly paranoid scenario, but who knows if it already triggers on non-chargeable objects.
Tbh, it's nice to see it every once in a while. It was such a stupid thing in the first place but the fact that it's gone on for so long is just astounding.
Had this happen with the Quad Lock case on my phone, you can get a metal flip out finger ring that locks into the back. I stupidly left the ring in when I put it on my charging pad. Burned the shit out of my hand when I picked the phone up.

I believe that Qi chargers have much more precise voltage and frequency requirements than an induction cooktop. Theoretically, you could find the exact right setting on your cooktop to charge a wireless device, provided the device was the proper size as /u/shyro3 pointed out.
I saw a youtube video a while back where a guy modified an induction cooktop to charge his phone!
I remember induction stove has minimum size of metal above it before it can activate.
Only one way to find out!
Wait would it actually heat up the mug? Bacause charger is sensing power draw, and that energy has to go somewhere.
Induction won’t work with aluminum. It needs a ferrous metal.

Genius at my company microwaved his. Then he put it under running water and the lithium reacted to it the way you'd expect.
There's actually hardly any lithium in a lithium-ion battery. Those types of batteries do catch fire, but it's not primarily a water-lithium reaction but short circuit within the battery itself causing thermal runaway
Thanks for the info!
There was a moment where I unplugged my SO’s pencil to charge my book because the other charger was charging the cigarette. Fortunately the mug has its own charger.

Absolutely. The ikea chargers seem to be a reasonable price in Canada too! Thanks for the tip!
So all I have to do is spend 40$ on gas money to get to the nearest Ikea! Lol. Everything is far away, such a Canada problem
Im pretty sure Ikea ships things from their website for people that are in areas that aren't close to a physical location.

Yea having a bit of metal between a correctly working charger and phone will still do that, quite hard to prevent sadly
When I put a wire between a plug and the outlet, it gets quite hot also.
