About this deal

There are many different types of solutions, including solid mounts, X-mounts, X-mounts with rubber bands, spring release claw-like mounts, etc. However, most of them are similar. They cradle and surround the phone with varying degrees of retention. What's the difference between Weatherproof Wireless Charing head and the standard Wireless Charging Head? Standard wireless charging is 5W whereas Fast Wireless charging is charging above 5W up to a maximum of 15W. A: The Motorcycle Wireless Charger may draw a small amount of power from your battery when not in use depending on how you have wired it up. The only time to be concerned is if that light starts flashing. If it’s flashing blue there is an error, flashing green means low power coming from the charger and/or bike battery and if it starts flashing pale blue the charger is overheating. I don’t recall seeing any of these lights yet.

If you wire it via a SAE connector directly into your battery, the device will draw a very slight current when not in use (unless using our 12V to USB Smart Adaptor in Auto mode of course, in which case the device will shut off when the battery drops to 12.5V) Apple's guide to temperature regulation, which has some crossover with other phone brands, recommends keeping your phone out of direct sunlight or operating in a hot vehicle. A: We sure do! This is our Waterproof 12V to USB Smart Adaptor, and it's designed specifically to bridge the gap between your motorcycle's battery and the Weatherproof Wireless Charging Head. It features an Auto function to keep the device off until the battery voltage rises above 13.5V and to turn off when input voltage drops below 12.5V. Perfect for a vehicle such as a motorcycle or ATV to avoid battery drain. As with the existing Desk Mount, the reusable nano-suction adhesive base means the Wireless Charging Pad stays in place, making it easy to remove your device with just one hand. Wireless charging is only 70-80% efficient so the additional 20-30% of energy is converted into heat. In normal conditions, this is not usually a problem, however, using the wireless charger in your car in direct sunlight can compound the issue and cause some phones to overheat.

What is the effect of the vibration damper—does it help dampen vibration and reduce movement of the phone to keep the display readable when encountering bumps?

The standard Wireless Charging Head is for indoor use such as in your car or desk. Q: Will it drain my battery if I leave my bike parked? Ultimately, vibration damage seems to depend very much on the model of phone and the bike’s engine. Those few I know of who’ve had problems – using any mounting system– have all been using older generation iPhones, and have had them repaired under the Apple warranty. If your bike has an SAE port you’ll be able to plug the adapter straight into that. If you don’t have an SAE or USB port, then you attach the wires provided with the adapter directly to your battery, which is how I fitted it to my Hornet.

Customer reviews

These issues seem to be predominantly with iPhones, and when I spoke to SP Connect, they confirmed that the vast majority of problems they’d come across were with Apple devices, and of these they were mainly the iPhone X, 11 and 12 series, but not the 12 Pro Max, which has Sensor-Shift OIS. They told me that issues with the iPhone 13 are very rare, with none reported on the 14, both of which use Sensor-Shift. They also pointed out that unlike on Apple devices, the OIS on Samsung is deactivated when the camera’s not being used.

The smartphone is changing the world and more and more everyday tasks require one. As a result, having a smartphone close at hand is becoming a necessity versus a “nice to have.” Motorcycle riders are no exception, and they are often looking for secure ways of mounting their phones to their bikes. With the wireless charging head fitted, your phone starts charging after you start the engine. A small light on the charge head indicates the charging condition. If it’s solid bright blue there’s power available but no phone connected. Attach your phone and the light should go solid green to show it’s charging. Once the phone is fully charged, the light turns solid pale blue. If the power button on the wireless head is switched on, it will draw 12mA. If the power button on the wireless head is switched off, it will draw 6mA iPhones: 14 Pro Max, 14 Pro, 14 Plus, 14, 13 Pro, 13 Pro Max, 13, 13 mini, SE (3rd and 2nd Gen), 12 Pro, 12 Pro Max, 12, 12 mini If you wire the charger via a factory USB port or wire it into a switched supply (light circuit or accessories), it will switch off when the circuit switches off and will not draw power.Exposing your iPhone to high amplitude vibrations within certain frequency ranges, specifically those generated by high-power motorcycle engines, can degrade the performance of the camera system.” There are several differences between bother of these charing heads. The weatherproof version of the charger is designed for outdoor use on motorcycles as it needs to withstand vibration, impacts, UV, and be resistant to chemicals (petrol, oil etc) which requires more durable materials and a very robust design. Is it the bike’s engine vibration that’s causing the issue when it happens, or vibration from the road? A: Standard wireless charging is 5W whereas Fast Wireless charging is charging above 5W up to a maximum of 15W. An average motorcycle battery this will take about 1 month to drain at 12mA or 2 months at 6mA. We recommend disconnecting the charger from the battery if your bike is parked and not started for prolonged periods.
