Then choose a Mat. With many Mats to choose from, you can select the one that is right for your charging needs.

Charging your favorite devices is now as easy as setting them down!

THE POWERMAT SYSTEM

Wireless Charging

The Powermat Wireless Charging System provides a simple, fast and efficient way to keep all of your favorite personal electronic devices charged. Enabling your devices with Powermat Receivers allows you to Drop and Charge them on any Powermat Mat to experience wireless charging.

Magnetic Alignment

A magnetic attraction between every Receiver and each access point on every Mat assures that alignment is precise and the most efficient charging will occur. This is one of the keys to the Powermat system’s ability to charge your devices as fast or faster than the original power adaptor.

RFiD Handshake

Communication between the Mat and the Receiver allows the mat to deliver an exact amount of power for the proper length of time so that the transfer of power is safe and efficient and no energy is ever wasted.

Audio Confirmation

A unique sound tells you that a solid connection has been made and your device is charging. A second, similar sound is heard when the device is removed.

Charging Light Indication

Each access point has a corresponding light indicator that informs you that wireless charging is occurring.

Auto Shut Off

When a device reaches full charge, power is shut off to that device. This not only saves energy, but it also prevents overcharging of the device’s battery, which can shorten battery life.

Full Charge Check

Once full power is achieved and the Auto Shut Off has occurred to save energy and avoid overcharging the device’s battery, the system will monitor the status of the battery.

Wired USB Connection

A USB connection is available on every Mat for legacy devices providing another source for power rather than finding an additional power outlet.

Industrial Design - Mats

Powermat Mats are designed to work in a wide range of locations and environments. Whether you are looking to charge a single device on an end table or night stand, multiple devices on a desk or countertop or take the ultimate in convenient charging with you on the road, there is a Powermat solution that is right for you and your needs.

Industrial Design - Receivers

Powermat Receivers are designed to perfectly integrate onto or into the devices they will enable to charge wirelessly.

Here in Florida, we are known to have tropical storms & hurricanes, in which we inevitably loose power. Depending on the strength of the storm, this can be for days. So, imagine my happiness when given the opportunity to review the Powermat! I imagined the daily use would be fabulous alone, and because of it’s ease, your items should be charged in the event of electrical failure.

You do not realize, until which time the power does go out, just how heavily we rely on electric. Most house phones are cordless, so they would not work in a power outage.  The cell phones will work for a short time, but they too will loose power. How about your Ipod?  That also needs electric to charge it.  Ipods, Iphones, Nintendo DS's, the list of electronics goes on and on!  

Besides electrical issues, what about daily practicality? Where are all you cords for these devices? If you are like me, they are spread all over the house.  Some of mine are on my dresser, hubbies is on his chest of drawers, others are on the floor, underneath my desk, behind the sofa on the window sill, etc.  All of these cords are a major draw on electricity and can be quite dangerous.

Powermat made that so much easier to do with their innovative and advanced Wireless Charging System. The Powermat Wireless Charger, a new innovative use of technology makes life so much easier! The mat will require plugging in, however  Although, the mat does need to be plugged in, having only one cord to keep your electronics plugged in will save you money on electric, make life simpler and be less dangerous.

With my Powermat, I can place any 3 of our electronics at a time, onto the mat using a receiver that works specifically with your device.  Not all products are compatible, however all of mine are. All I had to do was open the box, plug it in, and within minutes I was charging! Best of all, it can be placed in one central location for the whole family to use!

The Powermat comes complete with 8 interchangeable adapters and 1 universal receiver.  This is a plus for me as I have an Ipod and this will allow me to use with the mat as well.  Another bonus,  you will not overcharge your battery. The system automatically shuts off when the device is done charging. Again, saving energy!

I highly recommend the Powermat! For my family, it will save energy, provide ease of charging, and a lifesaver when the power goes out!
