Introduction
With the convening of CES 2024, an increasing number of charging accessory manufacturers are unveiling their new generation Qi2 wireless chargers. Compared to Qi, these chargers boast faster charging speeds, broader usage range, and come equipped with magnetic charging functionality. In fact, we've previously introduced several new Qi2 charging products tailored for the everyday consumer; you can view them by clicking on the related articles at the end of this post.
For iPhone users, the most obvious advantage of the new Qi2 wireless charging module is that it's cost less than one-third of Apple's MagSafe module, and the manufacturer does not need to be a member of MFi. In this way, there will definitely be much more cheaper and faster wireless charging accessories on the market. Today, we will introduce the first Qi2 protocol-based wireless car charger on the market - the ESR Magnetic Wireless Car Charger (Halolock).
The ESR Qi2 Magnetic Wireless Car Charger (Halolock) gives off the impression of a common wireless charging pad transformed into a car charger. Its magnetic charging area features a sleek surface with the ESR logo engraved in the middle. Additionally, it has a strip-shaped blue charging indicator on the side, which lights up during normal operation. The overall design is minimalistic and stylish.
When it comes to magnetic car chargers, stability takes center stage. ESR's car charger boasts an impressive magnetic force of up to 1600 gf, significantly surpassing the 850 gf commonly found in other manufacturers' products. To enhance stability further, its back adopts a robust triangular structure, representing the most stable spatial architecture available. These meticulous design choices ensure a secure and steadfast attachment to your car using the provided vent clip.
During usage, your phone enjoys the convenience of a 360-degree rotation, thanks to the ball-joint structure of the charging pad. Moreover, your phone itself can also rotate 360 degrees because it lacks any fixed positional structures on its four sides, making it exceptionally user-friendly. The absence of restrictive elements around the phone enhances the overall ergonomic design, allowing for seamless adaptability to various viewing angles and orientations.
In terms of specifications, mirroring other Qi2 wireless chargers, it supports a maximum output power of 15W. According to ESR's testing, it can fully charge the iPhone 15 Pro Max in just 2 hours and 37 minutes, even surpassing the speed of the Apple MagSafe charger—an impressive feat. This remarkable charging efficiency ensures a swift and efficient power-up for your device.
In terms of compatibility, it not only supports the aforementioned vent clip installation but also includes an additional dashboard anchor. Simply replace the clip with the anchor, remove the red film on top, and firmly press it onto the desired location.
In this configuration, it can support objects weighing up to 48 lbs, far surpassing the weight of a typical smartphone. It is compatible with iPhone models from 13 onwards and Android phones equipped with ESR's related magnetic fixation accessories. Although please note that it can only be adhered to surfaces made of plastic, wood, PVC, and carbon fiber. Materials such as leather, fabric, dirty surfaces, or curved surfaces are not allowed.
Summary of ChargerLAB
In conclusion, the ESR Magnetic Wireless Car Charger (Halolock) stands out as a compelling competitor in the burgeoning Qi2 market. Its sleek design, superior magnetic force, versatile mounting options, and impressive charging speed make it a strong contender for iPhone users seeking a reliable and affordable wireless charging solution on the road.
At just $35.99, its affordability, convenience, and efficiency make it a worthy investment for anyone seeking a hassle-free wireless charging experience in their vehicle.
