Here’s how to build a wireless charger for Qi compatible devices like the Apple Watch.
Forget waiting on a kickstarter, you can hack your existing charger and build your own portable charger with components from Adafruit.
Smart Charging
The Adafruit Powerboost 1000C features smart charging. Combined with a 2000mAh lipo battery and a slide switch, you can build your own wireless charger that has lots of power.
Our 3D printed enclosure is compact and houses all of the components. You can choose from two case designs if you'd like to charge devices using a USB cable.
