WildCharge Intros New PowerDisc for Wire-Free Charging



Wire-free power technology specialist WildCharge Inc has reportedly introduced ‘WildCharge PowerDisc,’ a new solution designed to work with a variety of gadgets across most major brands for wire-free charging.

PowerDisc can be used using a WildCharger pad and other WildCharge-enabled surfaces to charge multiple categories of devices including cell phones, Bluetooth headsets, e-book readers, GPS units, and more. The PowerDisc is also the first WildCharge accessory to work with LG and Samsung (News - Alert) cell phones, furthering WildCharge's compatibility across most major brands, according to the company.

Dennis Grant, CEO and chairman of WildCharge said in a release that the WildCharge technology is making the wire-free power experience a reality for everyone, everywhere. The new PowerDisc furthers this vision by opening the door to wire-free power for literally hundreds of devices.

He further said, "Our licensing partners and consumers have been eager for a low-cost solution that enables them to use the WildCharge technology with a wide variety of portable electronics. We are extremely pleased to offer the PowerDisc as the answer to that need."

The PowerDisc is small in size and has seven interchangeable PowerLinks to provide charging compatibility to most of the brands such as LG and Samsung phones, Nokia, Sony Ericsson (News - Alert), RIM, Palm and more. It requires no installation and is incredibly easy to use, says the company.

Users need to select the correct PowerLink to plug the appropriate end into the disc, and the other end into their device. When the disc is placed on a WildCharger Pad, or other WildCharge-enabled surface, the device will charge by itself.

Company officials said that the new WildCharge PowerDisc is part of the WildCharge Reference Design Library, which allows licensing partners to brand the product and add it to their own line-up of product offerings. This new device can be of most use in hospitality industry including hotels, airports, restaurants and convention centers, to provide a high-quality, wire-free charging experience to guests.
