Wireless Charging with the EXTENDED Battery - Solved

---

If you're impatient like me, here's a DIY $13 mod I did to make the extended battery wireless charging enabled. Presumably works on all charging mats as the whole idea behind Qi is a universal standard.

Photos and videos at the bottom of the post.

Here's the main video:

I moved the coil a little bit so the connection was more secure after the video. Works without issue.

I bought like 5 touchstones so I can have one in my home office, office office, bedroom, living room, etc.

Do you know if the touchstone works with the VZW inductive charging back for the standard battery?

honestly i havent really read into the different technologies used... so no idea

my guess is if it did work it would probably not be as good an experience as the magnets are probably not placed in the same alignment (so the phone won't know exactly where to attach giving a sub-optimal placement)

Wow

Looks pretty nice, I happened to have the soldering supplies and wire might do this myself. How is the charging time as I can't find the output for the touchstones anywhere. Would you still recommend it after having it for a while now?

nah don't do it

it has to be perfectly aligned to charge properly- from what i've read the real bionic backplate works even through cases-

i'd say wait for a better version that is less finicky

or make one with the bionic reg. battery wireless charging door like i plan to

I'd like that. I tried my bionic with the inductive charging door on the touchstone, and I couldn't get it to work, so this mod would be great. I hate the LG charging mat for the bionic

Do you know if this was a tight squeeze in the extended battery door? Also, does this mean you cannot take the door off anymore?

Hey guys, i know older post...has anyone done this with the reg battery?

If so, what kind of chargign times are u getting? ALso, are u usign the Palm mat or some other mat.

My intention is to use this with teh standard battery, and battery cover, so i can still use gel case

i'm still waiting for the long promised true wireless charging where the same towers that supply us our signal also charge our phones.

it's barbaric that we're still having to plug in somewhere to charge. what century is this anyway !!?!?

Specially since Tesla had this idea a longgggg time ago. Sure would be nice...

Very nice
