WiCC™ Wireless Charging Card

There’s a new way to add wireless power to your device.  A way that connects your device to the biggest network of wireless power in the globe, ensuring your device interoperates with wireless charging surfaces found in vehicles, arenas, airports, eateries, offices and more.

Building on the success of Powermat’s first-generation wireless charging systems, Duracell Powermat and Powermat Technologies are introducing a game changer in wireless power. By piggybacking on the real estate already allocated for NFC or the air gap above the battery, OEMs can give customers a truly wireless experience without needing to embed new technology into the phone.

Best of all, it adds NO COST to the BOM

• Powermat Technologies offers a series of evaluation boards, demo units and specifications for device manufacturers to integrate a Universal Wireless Charging Port. Simply bundle the phone with an NFC-only card or leave an air gap above the battery

• Duracell Powermat will offer the WiCC™ Wireless Charging Card, an after-market insert with a next-generation wireless power receiver, coupled with NFC technology. Available in carrier stores and leading retail outlets in 2013, the WiCC™ insert is as easy to install as a memory card.

WiCC™ is the most efficient way for devices to become wireless power ready.
