You Can Now Charge Your Battery Using Air

How many times do you need to charge your phone’s battery every day? Depends on how frequently you are using it, the answer may vary from once, twice, or even three times a day.

Carrying around a USB charger has become fashionable these days. Anf USB ports are now also available in public facilities like in buses, stations, and many others. But what if instead of charging your phone conventionally, you can do it wirelessly all the time?

Wireless charging is here

WiFiThanks to Ossia, this is not just a dream anymore. The company has created a battery that will charge itself from the air. The charging process is almost similar to how wifi works.

The charger works with a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter is called Cota transmitter. It emits data concentrated radio frequency that the receiver will absorb. Then, the receiver will convert it to power and save it to the battery.

It is available for standard AA and Phone battery

You can then say goodbye to battery replacement. With the innovation, you can just ‘air-charge’ your phone.

Cota charger requires you to attach a special accessory to your phone. It is called the Cota power receiver. It is a small silicon chip that can be installed on your phone.

Is it safe?


As any other signal could, this charging method also uses particular length radio wave that is prone to causing any health damage. However, the company assures that the transmitter or receiver will only use walls, tables, and other unliving things to bounce the signal. In brief, the charger is safe for you or your pet.

The drawbacks you need to consider

Wireless ChargerHowever, as any technology would, some lackings may hold you from purchasing one for now. The first available generation of the air-charger works very slowly. The speed is four times slower than cable charging.

Another drawback is that for the charger to work, you have to be in the same room with the Cota transmitter. Moreover, charging a smartphone can take the whole day before fully charged.

The company also admits that the charger has not been intended for heavy use. You cannot activate your phones while charging, as it will make the charging process even slower.

However, despite the downsides of the innovation, trying to have one still sounds like an exciting idea.…
