US based Visteon Corporation has launched a technology that provides a convenient way to make sure batteries for mobile phones, MP3 players or PDAs are always charged and ready to go. Visteon introduced its in-vehicle wireless charging technology at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas on Jan. 8-11.
This in-vehicle technology eliminates the need to have dedicated power cords for each portable device in the vehicle. The user simply places the device on Visteon’s charger, and power is wirelessly transferred by electromagnetic induction from the charger to the user’s portable device at a rate comparable to a plug-in power cord. The wireless charger contains intelligence that can determine if an object is in close proximity to the charger, and whether the object can be charged.
