If the distance between the two wire discs is too far, too close or deviates from the center, the charging will be slow or the power will not be charged directly. Second, the wireless charging also has a requirement on the surrounding environment. First, metal and magnetic materials should not be placed between or around the transmitting disc and the receiving disc during the working of the wireless charging. Second, the equipment with serious electromagnetic interference should be avoided near the wireless charging, otherwise, the 2.4G radio frequency communication between the transmitter and the receiver will be affected, so that the power cannot be charged.
