Blue Light Anker Powerwave 7.5 Pad

#21

Yeah I didn’t realize I responded to the question from a year ago lol Need to get my eyesight checked haha!

#22

No thick case or metal. I even took the phone out of my apple leather case and still no luck.
Even w/o the phone, the charging is blinking blue.

#23

Even w/o the phone on the charger, the blue light just blinks.

#24

what power adapter / charger are you connecting to this Wireless charging pad? is it delivering sufficient charge for wireless charging?

Make sure the charger connected to wireless charging pad provides at least 5V/2A or 9V-2A, this is needed for Standard charge mode and is advised to use the cable provided with the charger.

If the above does not help, Try changing the cable, power charger or both, and let us know.

Also Make sure to align the phone on the charger

alls well, … things happen, thanks for the reminder i too need a eye check :eyeglasses:

#26

To Shenoy’s point, remember the standard “white cube” from Apple do not work with these.

#27

exactly :+1: the iPhone white cubes provide only 5V/1A :frowning: … need more than that for charging

#28

Thanks Shenoy.

I’m using the cable that came w/ the Anker wireless charging pad. This is plugged directly into a wall outlet.

Still no luck. Maybe I got a lemon?

#29

what charger are you using? is it something like below?

I believe that particular charger requires at least a quick charge 2.0 QC2.0-QC 3.0 charger to properly power the wireless pad and that it is blinking because that is trying to tell you that is not receiving adequate power.

If you don’t have a quick charge 2.0 or 3.0 charger this one works flawlessly with my Anker wireless 10 watt chargers.

Standard mode works with 5V/2A … any charger providing a minimum of 5V/2A should work, with wireless charging pad providing 5W wireless charging

Quick Charge is not mandatory for wireless charging to work

#32

I don’t believe that is true. I believe some of the ankers wireless chargers require quick charge 2.0-3.0 even to get the standard 5w slow wireless charge. Specifically their wireless stands.

I could be mistaken but I don’t think I am.

@mswanick59 what is the specific model number of your wireless charger? I’ll be happy to help you out.

#33

Didn’t see this earlier. The wireless charger is complaining that is not getting adequate power.
I know this because the light is blinking when there is nothing on the pad.

For future reference it would be good to take a glance at the manual to see the power input requirements :grin:

#34

this is the model, I assume it the pad on this link

#35

I need a model number, there are too many Anker pads and they all have different power requirements.

If it is the one in the link that you shared and it does require a quick charge wall adapter for 7.5 and 10 watt charging. Although I do believe you are mostly correct that most of their wireless chargers will provide a 5-watt charge using a standard 5v 2a wall adapter but there are a handful that have very specific power requirements they will not function properly without adequate input.

#38

iPhone charger will not work… Needs charger like Anker Elite II or Anker PowerPort Mini which provide a minimum of 5V/2A

#39

Shenoy: I have Model #A2522.
