I will preface by saying that i have been using an Anker Qi charger with an Apple 12W adapter in the office and bedside with pretty great results. I have an iPhone X with Apple leather case and the phone will charge a few percent every 10 minutes while on the Anker.
Since I liked the convenience of the Anker so much, I decided to put a wireless charger in my car. I landed on the Scosche’s StuckUp Qi based on Wirecutter's review.
The actual mount is really nice and is very sturdy, but the charging capability is terrible. I am getting about 1% every 15 minutes when the phone is idle, and will lose power over time when using Waze or Google Maps. I did expect the charging to be slower when using GPS, but not to lose power.
In hopes of fixing this, I tried my 4.8amp usb cigarette lighter adapter, but this didn't help either.
Has anyone had a better experience with a different brand? I love the convenience of just popping my phone in the charger and not having to mess with cables, but this thing sucks.
Thanks!
