Premium Charger v3: Just Snap It In

[TPL]

Could someone provide the Amazon link to the Anker product needed to work with this. I have no experience with these pucks and don't want to order the wrong one. Thanks!

I'd love to know your thoughts. You are the first outside my beta testers.

Sure what would you like to know?

Ease of installation? Fit? Better/similar lock from the magsafe vs the previous version?

Install was fairly easy I used the jsaux puck and transformer from previous install.

It would be nice to have some of the retention rings that I saw in the video to keep the cords in place.
I ended up putting some packing tape over the holes where the pucks install and the cord coil.

The pucks clicked tightly into place and feel secure.

I was able to slide the rear into place first and then click the front down and it fits well.
Looks similar to previous version but larger flocked granola bowl looks more finished.
The top wood veneer looks better too because it looks flatter and not pushed up near the pucks and no need to get the edge tucked under the edge like previous version.

All in all looks more like a factory part instead of fabricated.
Very happy with results and would recommend upgrade from previous version or new install.

Hah! So you are our winner. David forgot to put the pucks in a few boxes. We can send them to you. Can you email us at [email protected]?

Yup. I have my dxf files set for my laser. I have to specifically make a single plate for a single customer without the topo. That's why it would cost more.

If you end up making one without the etching, could you please share a picture here? I'm very interested in how it's going to look without it.

As a heads up, the new QI2 charger option may not much help for the non-apple people.

I only get 2W from the Anker MagGo QI2 charger on my Google Pixel 6 with magnetic case.

By comparison, I get 8W from Rivian's QI charger (until I start driving and the phone slides out of alignment) and 18W from Google's QI charger (all with case on).

Note - the chargers are probably delivering 5W/11W/21W, but the phone is using 3W so only 2/8/18 are making it to the battery.

Anker doesn't claim compatibility with non-apple devices, so they can't really be faulted for this. But still very disappointing.

It is going to be a tough decision if I want to use the S00Nish charger when it arrives (the QI2 charger arrived S00N-er than the S00N-ish frame).

What is better? Slow and reliable, or 4x faster and unreliable? I guess it depends on how unreliable. Does the phone charge more than 1/4th the time on Rivian's mat? I'm not sure.

That's interesting. Well you can always snag the jsaux chargers from Amazon. Pop them into into the pucks and get the faster charging from qi.

We wanted to support qi2 as it's a more open standard and in the long run the accepted wireless charging standard.

As a quick comparison I was getting 14 watts charging on my iphone 15 pro max on the charger.

I’m one of the 20 lucky ones who got the first edition of this new charger upgrade to replace the original version. The Apple mag safe pucks fit in the two cavities pressure tight. The whole unit snapped into the center console perfectly. Beautiful fit and finish! Couldn’t ask for anything better!

Sure make my wire management in my video look bad.

I was also one of the lucky first 20. I was worried when watching the install video that I was sent the wrong thing as I only had 3 plugs. I’m glad I waited until I watched the WHOLE video before sending an email off to s00nish with an unnecessary issue. I just installed and it is AWESOME. I loved my version one, but you guys really upped your game with v2. It is perfect. Very sleek and looks like it belongs more than the OEM. Thank you s00nish for continuing to improve your products.

Sorry! It's the easiest way to cut the end in YouTube without losing the link for future references. Glad you watched the whole thing!!!
