Although the world has greatly improved when it comes to technology and modernity, we can only fully emphasize our futuristic potential with the wipeout of wires and cords. And we are nearing that stage. It starts with wireless personal computers through the invention of laptops, netbooks and laptops. Yet, the issue remains that these aforementioned devices cannot last long and needs to be recharged, hence, the need of chargers. Since we are aiming for a hassle-free cordless future, the development of wireless charger is a big step towards further modernizations.

While we are still used to micro-USB for charging, it seems that wireless chargers are slowly being adopted in a lot of countries. Indeed, it can be frustrating to plug and unplug your chargers whenever needed. This may be a reason why people are quick to embrace wireless charging.

According to studies and reviews, wireless charging works on the principle of electromagnetic induction. Coils of wire in the base station (the charging plate) create a magnetic field as the current passes through. This field can induce an electrical current in an adjacent coil of wire without actually touching it. If this wire is part of a battery charging circuit, then you have wireless charging.

It is simple enough. Just place your phone in the charging pod and that’s it!

If you have wireless charger from The Peterson Group, Taiwan-based distributor of mobile phone accessories and laptop peripherals, your smartphone must be Qi compatible. To know if your smartphone is Qi certified, a logo is placed within the device.  If the logo seemed tampered, there is a big possibility of it being fraud.

There are brands, though, which still need a special case to properly charge the phones in a wireless plate as it can damage the phone itself. Make sure you ask your distributor and/or retail seller on the specifics of it. Legitimate stores and partners of The Peterson Group in Jakarta, Indonesia and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia provides free universal mobile phone cases to protect your phones against any effects of wireless plates.

Wireless charging is not without issues though. A lot of users, especially young ones, complain of not being able to use their smartphones while charging. On the other hand, analysts argue on this issue as it helps lessen the time spent on smartphones. While the phone is charging, the user can spend quality time to other productive activities instead.

We have all experienced it: in the middle of watching a movie near the climax, or when you are in a meeting, and you find in your horror that your laptop battery is almost dead and you forgot your charger or there is no available outlet.

Before you buy some counterfeited battery from the stalls of Jakarta, Indonesia or black markets of Beijing, China which can easily harm your laptop, make sure you are running out of options first. There are more strategies to prolong your battery’s life and it can be applicable anytime anywhere.

Taiwan-based distributor of mobile phone accessories and laptop peripherals, The Peterson Group, shares some technique on how to prolong your battery life and save yourself from an irritating trouble of not being able to finish what you have to do.

1.            Activate your Laptop Battery Saver Mode or Eco Mode

It seems like an easy thing to do but many laptop users just seems to overlook this laptop’s feature. Saver Mode will engage a number of automatic changes just to lengthen usable battery life. It can minimize the brightness and contrast of your monitor, review the applications you are using, shut down unwanted software devices and reduce power consumption.

2.            Disable Unused Devices and Ports

You may have a battery saver mode but it cannot guarantee to close every unused application. It is better to close any unneeded peripherals and turning off power blogs, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth radios, and graphics processors and unused optical drives. A little warning though, before disabling any component device, make sure that the device is not in use, and that it is not essential to continuing operation of the laptop.

3.            Adjust Your Setting

Once again, your eco saver may do that for you; still, it would be better if you do it manually. The eco mode may not be able to adjust the color and contrast as you would want it to. It may adjust it too dim for you. If you are only doing a document or simple tasks, you would not need a 1080p or higher display. You can also tone down the volume.

4.            Simplify your Activities

Start by single tasking. Multitasking is okay when you have your outlet ready but on dire needs, prioritize only the necessity. Playing online music can drain batteries. If music is a must, then, save some music in your local disk and play from there. By eliminating unnecessary power uses, you should be able to extend the life of your battery in those moments that you find yourself high and dry.
