charging issue

Inductive charging (also known as wireless charging or cordless charging) is a type of wireless power transfer. It uses electromagnetic induction to provide electricity to portable devices. Inductive charging is also used in vehicles, power tools, electric toothbrushes, and medical devices. The portable equipment can be placed near a charging station or inductive pad without needing to be precisely aligned or make electrical contact with a dock or plug.
Inductive charging is named so because it transfers energy through inductive coupling. First, alternating current passes through an induction coil in the charging station or pad. The moving electric charge creates a magnetic field, which fluctuates in strength because the electric current's amplitude is fluctuating. This changing magnetic field creates an alternating electric current in the portable device's induction coil, which in turn passes through a rectifier to convert it to direct current. Finally, the direct current charges a battery or provides operating power.Greater distances between sender and receiver coils can be achieved when the inductive charging system uses resonant inductive coupling, where a capacitor is added to each induction coil to create two LC circuits with a specific resonance frequency. The frequency of the alternating current is matched with the resonance frequency, and the frequency is chosen depending on the distance desired for peak efficiency. Recent improvements to this resonant system include using a movable transmission coil (i.e., mounted on an elevating platform or arm) and the use of other materials for the receiver coil such as silver-plated copper or sometimes aluminum to minimize weight and decrease resistance due to the skin effect.

    Pod Point Charging Issue

    There is probably something I'm missing but at the risk of looking stupid Ill ask. I used a Pod Point at the local CO OP for the first time today prior to a weekend away thought Id do a dummy run. All went well plugged in and APP enabled the free charge and the charge started. When I'd finished...

    Charging issue!

    Trying to charge my vehicle yesterday and today and when the car is locked and says charging maybe 30 seconds later the alarm goes off (continuous beep), tried unplugging and trying again multiple times and I can't get it to lock/charge without it beeping. All doors are locked and secure so it's...
