  • FIGURE 3 As discussed above, inductive charging needs good positioning. This is illustrated in FIGURE 3 by presenting the power efficiency as a function of the coil displacement. In order to achieve good efficiency the coils need to be exactly on top of each other. Poor alignment causes the efficiency to drop dramatically and ultimately will cause the charging to stop. As an example, a 30% efficiency drop may be measured with 100 kHz inductive charger prototypes with approximately 18 mm coil displacement.
  • the charging platform may include a magnet in the proximity of the primary coil to guide the charged device, equipped with another magnet, into the best position.
