When it comes to charging your tech, performance and efficiency are key factors to consider. After all, the faster a device fully recharges, the sooner it can be used without worries. This demand for speedy power has led companies like Anker to constantly search for ways to shorten charging times through extensive research and the development of cutting-edge technologies.
The most recent developments in this field come in the form of greatly improved wireless charging. Introducing the Magnetic Power Profile (MPP), a key component of the newly designed Qi 2.0 Wireless Charging Standard that aims to make wireless power even safer, faster, and effortlessly compatible with a broad range of mobile devices and smart wearables. Explore how Anker applies this state-of-the-art tech to its line of top-tier Zolo Series gear to ensure that you're always efficiently energized, everywhere:
What is Magnetic Power Profile (MPP)?
Introduced in 2023 by the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC), the Magnetic Power Profile is a core technology of the Qi 2.0 (Qi2) Wireless Charging Standard that seeks to improve the efficiency of how we wirelessly power our devices. MPP technology utilizes magnetic alignment to ensure optimal positioning between your device and its charging source. This greatly reduces the energy lost during power transfer which in turn enhances charging speeds and allows for higher power delivery output.
Originally, the Qi 1.0 (Qi) Wireless Charging Standard would only properly work if the two copper coils (on your device and the charging source) were very close to each other. This meant that misalignment between the two devices could cause a significant decrease in the rate of power transfer— and in turn, lead to longer charging times.
To resolve this issue, MPP Technology’s components are meticulously designed to ensure that the wireless charging transmitter and receiver coils are precisely aligned before charging—enabling maximum power transfer while also minimizing energy loss.
Comparing Qi, Qi2 MPP, and MagSafe
While all three systems are designed for wireless charging, there are significant differences between Qi, Qi2 MPP, and MagSafe:
Qi: The original wireless charging standard developed by the WPC. It relies on manual alignment by the user for proper power transfer between devices. Without any magnetic assistance, it can energize a wide range of tech albeit with less efficiency.
Qi2 MPP: Designed to fix the issues of the Qi standard, it incorporates magnetic alignment technology to enable a maximized transfer rate, faster charging of up to 15W, and compatibility with a broader selection of devices.
MagSafe: The proprietary technology built by Apple, it uses a ring of magnets for precise alignment during charging and to seamlessly integrate the various accessories within Apple’s ecosystem. It offers optimized charging but is strictly limited to Apple’s assortment of devices.
How MPP Can Efficiently Energize Your Everyday Life
Wireless charging is an incredibly convenient feature to include in any tech enthusiast’s charging kit. Its usefulness in everyday tech usage is made even better thanks to the advanced technologies offered by the Qi2 MPP standard.
Firstly, it no longer requires users to manually align their devices to the wireless charging source for optimal performance. Gone are the days of ensuring your phone is properly placed onto the wireless charger or power bank. Now your devices can snap into place and be left charging while you work, run errands, and more.
The MPP’s optimized magnetic alignment also allows for shorter charging times than the previous Qi standard. Like Apple’s MagSafe, it can quickly charge Qi2-certified phones at up to 15W. This ensures your devices are conveniently recharged and ready to accompany you on day-to-day activities.
Aside from efficiently charging your gear, MPP technology is also useful in prolonging your devices’ battery life. Improper alignment during wireless power transfer can also lead to energy loss being converted into heat and harming the health of your battery. This issue is minimized by Qi2’s Magnetic Power Profile as it ensures your device is perfectly placed onto your wireless charging source.
MPP technology reduces the need to carry multiple chargers and device-specific accessories (i.e. cables for varying charging ports) as it is designed for compatibility with a broad range of wireless charging-enabled devices. This means that you can seamlessly charge both an Android and Apple device through the same power source, giving you a convenient boost of portable power without adding much bulk.
Lastly, as more devices adopt wireless charging, the variety of technologies that can benefit from Qi2 MPP’s energy-efficient power transfer will broaden over time. From mobile phones to tablets and cordless kitchen appliances, developments in MPP could allow for quick and easy charging at higher power levels.
