I have tried CHOETECH T511 before, basically speaking, this T513 is very like the T511 that they released on 2013, same carve on the pad, same smooth feeling when i touch the pad, and same led indication when connect the power source on. The LED light is smaller and less bright than T511 square version, this is a small improvement but according to the review of T511, this might compliment many buyers who want to use it in bedroom, and it has no sound beeping like the old version.
2 improvements:
1. The design is more fashion with shining silver side, add some element of metal.
2. The solution has 3 coils inside, it makes the charging area much bigger than 1 coil solution. Any place on this pad is the sweet spot so you can just put the phone on the pad and it starts charging, very convenient.
This pad seems too smooth to place the Nexus 4 like the old version, if the table is not very flat, it will slide a little bit. But it has no problem of draining battery after charging complete. And it generates less heat than most other brands, never higher than 104 °F.

Look at the CHOETECH spammers with low post counts pimping the CHOETECH brand. I actually owned one and it's very poor quality, weak solder joints , fragile plastic parts. I feel obligated to speak out against this BS hence my post.

I have the one coil version with no problems. Got it for $25 if I remember correctly so i'm not complaining.
I owned one of their earlier devices. It wasn't bad for the price. However, compared with the official Google Nexus Wireless Charger, there were some serious overheating issues associated with the Choe.
To be specific, my device would heat up to about 50-70 C (depending on how long I'd leave it on the charger), when my device would be in deep sleep. I can't imagine how hot it'd get if I was texting or using hangouts intermittently while trying to charge it.
Also, with the choe, I found it annoying that my device slipped all over the plastic top and not easily finding the "sweet spot."

You talking about me? Heh. Unbiased. LOL!
I've got 2 choe chargers. Can't remember the model but they work great. No over heating and placement hasn't been an issue.

Anyone having this problem?
I got the T513 based on a recommendation that I saw in a Verizon Note 3 "Wireless Charging" thread... for the intended use of - you guessed it - wirelessly charging my Verizon Note 3. The reason it was recommended was due to the larger size of the pad (large phone needs a large pad so it doesn't fall off), and the 3 coils.
Today was the first day that I've used it at work. I put my phone on it (blue LED came on), and when it got to about 98% battery level, it seemed like the charger would turn off (LED turned off), my phone would wake up, and then charging would start again (LED came on)... and would repeat this cycle about every 30 seconds.
Is anyone else seeing this behavior?
It seems like my phone is saying "OK, I've had enough charging" and ending the charge connection, which is then re-activated within seconds, only for my phone to say it's had its fill again. Weird.
I really don't want it to do this. I don't mind so much at work, since the phone is in plain view, and I can take the phone off the plate when I see it start to cycle like this. However, I'm curious if this same thing is happening while I'm charging my phone at home while I sleep.

I just got a portable battery box (2800mAh) for $14 from monoprice. (LINK)
Nicely built, relatively small, and about to test whether it will give me 1.5 full charges as mAh would suggest (2800mAh / 1800mAh on HOX = around 1.5 charges).
Box itself doesn't come with any charger, but is able to be charged by any charger with Micro or Mini USB connector (yep, it has 2 inputs).
Output is a male MicroUSB connector that fits HOX nicely (duh!).
Output: DC5.0V 800mAh

I'd imagine if you want to use the phone while charging from it, you can connect them with a female-male MicroUSB connector.
The charger has a button that shows the charge level of the box with 25% increments (4 lights).
Has another light for "FULL".
As soon as I connected the box to HOX, phone immediately showed that it's being charged, as if from the regular charger. Not sure what the current is, but it may come across as slow charge (USB port charge) as opposed to AC charger.
So far I tested the charge over 10 minute deep sleep period, and I got this:
With the box, in average HOX charged for 2% every 10 minutes.
That would suggest that it would take this box 8.3 hours to charge HOX fully, which isn't bad at all, considering you're free to use it while it's charging.
Over next day or so I'll try to completely discharge the HOX and charge it overnight from the box. I'll see just how much this box can spit out.
---------------------------------
EDIT/REPORT:
I discharged my phone to 5% yesterday, disabled wifi and BT, and connected it to batt pack to charge overnight.
It turns out that this batt back is crap.
Overnight, when phone was in deep sleep with wifi/BT off, a full battle pack charged my HOX only by 55% (I charged the batt pack before using it). Even considering some small drainage during charge, I'd say this pack actually acts if it had just over 1000mAh or so, nothing close to 2800.
Oh well, gonna return it and keep looking.
shouldn't this be in the accessories forum?

That's a good option too, although I actually like that monoprice's sticks right into the phone, so you don't have to carry a cable with u.
Also, it seems smaller and cheaper.

I know of certain defense organisations that allow the fixed connectors but not those with detachable cables. Disallowing the cables reduces the risk of the cables being used for data transfer.

It's a security standpoint from Defence services (IE: Australian Army, etc) who wish to minimise security leaks. A data cable can be used to link up other devices, not just the charger.

Okay, and I guess if I were flying in outer space, my suit was venting air, and the only thing that would save me is connecting a batt pack to a phone - in that situation a cable could freeze solid to a connector on the batt pack, making batt pack unusable, and thus killing me.
WRONG!
That's when Iron Man comes flying to the rescue thus saving your life and getting an autograph that you could sell on eBay for some money and covering your costs of the HTC One X.
OK well, turns out that this batt back is crap.

The one that the other guy posted only includes the case for $34. You have to buy the mat seperately. The one I found comes with both....but I'm sure that the quality isn't as good though.
that powermate case looks fat!
This is not exactly wireless, the four tits on the bottom of the door contact the bars on pad to charge. I have the qi wireless door from Verizon and the energizer two position pad. It works great but there is supposed to be a update that will increase the distance it will charge. Thus most cases will not be a problem. The current one is about 5mm I believe and suppose to be going to 40mm. Distance between the door and charger. Goodluck
See the Galaxy sIII shine via SynergyRom
Hmmm...... I don't think the quality on that thing would be very good, $55 seems pretty steep, I'm pretty sure you can get something of better quality for cheaper or the same price.
well.. technically it's wireless...... since it doesn't require a plugging on cables.... but yeah.. it's just one of those with contacts....

Yeah it looks like the power runs through the power mat on those metal strips, and the contacts on the back case make a connection with that. Doesn't seem very safe or efficient, plus those contacts on the back of the case seem like they'd scratch the powermat strips, and if you look carefully on the bottom right of the first picture it looks like that may be the case, could also be writing or a reflection or something else too.
I think the price doesn't justify it. I'll stick to wired charging and wait for a phone that includes wireless charging out of the box.

This is not Qi(only way to go) nor Powermat (not bad, but not Qi...yet) nor is it inductive charging. It is CONDUCTIVE (Duracell) and useless...In this case, use a USB cable instead
I hate to play devil's advocate here, but by using this type of charging, the only thing you're doing is reducing the number of inserts/removals on your usb port thus having it last abit longer... but these things are also rated for 50,000+ insert/removal cycles so it's kinda hard to use these devices long enough to go over that limit.

You're completely missing the point. The main idea is to increase convenience, which this does big time. I don't care at all about the longevity of USB port.
That said, I bought a Verizon pad for $15 on eBay, and am now trying to find a stupid charging cover that isn't made in someone's kitchen. Finding the latter is the hard part.

i'm not missing the point at all. The convenience factor is implied with that. There is no other real reason for you to get wireless charging.
What i'm saying is that it's an added "benefit" for this specific charger.
Also, send a PM to kms108. he's selling the receiver pad for the Qi chargers.
I'm buying the Nokia chargers as soon as I can find one hopefully this weekend seeing that the Nokia lumia 920 is released on Friday. I have the Qi receiver and it works great on the LG (Verizon Pad) just want something more appealing. They also say that the charger is more forgiving on where you place the phone do to new technology from Texas instruments.

When we say "two weeks to a month" of power, we're referring to the ability to charge your phone (tested on an iPhone 5) once a day for two weeks. But for people who charge their phone around 20% battery life (instead of when the phone is completely dead), like many people, the charge would last about a month. That's where those numbers come from.

WOW...that seems great....
But, it is way cheaper to recharge using a normal battery pack. I see a reason this technology exists, but, its calling is not recharging batteries.
What are people supposed to do with old pods?
This seems a bit bass awkwards

I'm not sure it is for me and you on a daily use basis where we can plug in etc...but if you are a long distance traveler and in areas where there ain't no plugs, 10 of these in a bag would last you a while in remote areas. Pretty much anyone that goes to, reports on or whatever for long periods of time, I can see how this would be a god send.
So it's a fuel cell basically. Probably enclosed. Fuel cells run off hydrogen typically gained from splitting water molecules. More advanced fuel cells can gain a higher efficiency rate when mixed with other chemicals.
I'd be interested to see if you could crack one of these babies open and just refill it with water. I know they already have water-based chargers. Using pure water would probably reduce the efficiency and longevity, but its water... refilling is still easy.
Most companies that are doing these "fuel cells" are really just trying to find a way to nickle and dime the customers. Companies don't want to introduce "free energy" by just filling up a bottle with water. They want to split the modules and sell you just the hydrogen/fuel mixtures.
Would be nice to just buy a fuel cell that lasts a few years. That would be worth it. But the cost of this device + refills <> electric? Are they trying to make a "cheaper" solution to plugging in to the wall every night (cause they should be) or are they marketing it as a "convenience" device with a high price tag (seems like it).
It looks like whether or not this is even going to get released is in question.
This is a comment on the product page @ Brookstone:
"Ordered from brookstone during the CES promotion with a shipping date of july its now september and acording to customer service they dont know that they will ever get them. Theres even a nifty term for that vaporware."

Or just bring one solar panel charger and an external battery pack that you can charge during the day.
This one looks like a better deal to me. If I needed a kit for wilderness trips, this would be the one.

I always carry a Goal Zero Nomad 7 in my bag. It's never failed me when I needed it. I have the battery pack accessory, so I can keep it charged up for times when I need a charge at night, or it's just too rainy. I've been thinking of upgrading to a slightly larger panel. Anyway, my point is that portable solar panes are great, and they don't cost anything but the initial investment.

I have a 12,000mAh power supply with 3 USB ports that I use quite often, I got it for $35-$40.
I looked into this a bit more and found out that the fuel pods contain butane. They are asking $10 a pod (pre-orders get a free one).

Hey guys so I received this along with a 4.8amp dual port USB car charger. I must say the quality is exceptional. The fact that this is a new up and coming company is really motivating. Hopefully all their products follow suit. Their powerbank 20000mah is made from an aluminum frame so it's a quality build as well. Anyways on to the review!
Upon opening the box from Amazon I noticed the two items came packaged really nice. I could compare it to anker in the packaging but Vinsic is just more visually appealing. I'm a big fan of the blue.

It comes with a power adapter cable for the charger. I'm not used to having to connect one to the charger. I've enjoy having the plug built in to the charger itself. I'm just spoiled by travel chargers I guess. It's not a huge difference but for the power it delivers it is most definitely worth the change.
The 5 port charger itself has a nice weight to it. It is polished smooth white. It has a very nice feel to it. Doesn't feel cheap at all. Very sturdy feel to it. On the bottom it has 4 rubber feet. There's 1 in each corner for it to have maximum grip on whatever surface you place it on.
The size isn't that much bigger than a Galaxy S2. Here they are side by side. My trusty S2 on the left of course.
Here's some battery stats. Looks like it's charging at the maximum rate for the S2. I doubt it's this exact amount but it is charging beyond its capabilities. The battery is not heating up at all and I've ran it from completely dead to 75 so far. I'll post some ampere pictures from my Nexus 5 as soon as I can run it down a bit more. My Nexus 5 is at 75 right now.
Overall for the money and quality of the product i'd highly recommend it to anyone. This is my favorite at home charger now. The anker sits in my gym bag waiting to travel lol ?.
Hope you guys enjoyed the review. Any questions feel free to ask. These models were sent to me by vinsic but the review was unbiased.

this is the 3rd brand of mutiport chargers ive purchased and all have been junk. this on in particular gave me unpredictability issues from day one. 1 port would charge my ph and others wouldn't. 1 would charge my tablet and others wouldn't. bought it for the kids to use to charge multiple devices at once in one location and has not been able to do as it is promised, after about 2 weeks it stopped working completely. I tested the main power cord with my multimeter that wasn't the prob. i tested each output port and got no reading on any of them. i was tempted to crack the case and test further but then I wouldn't be able to return it.
If any one has any advice on a good multiport charger id love to hear about it..

Yesterday I received from amazon my new car charger. I chosed vinsic one because of the quality of they' re products, feedback,reviews here in xda forum and the first impact with the design, looking very different from low quality chinese products.Let me start telling that this charger is great,maybe a little heavy but it gives you a sensation of quality compared to my old one made of plastic,and the stainless steel material used gives you the feel of premium quality and a great look with the engraved logo and specs.Even the box is not cheap as other products cause you find a manual,a warranty card and thanksgiving card for chosing they re brand.The charger has 2 usb ports 2.4a each,that can charge both a nexus 5 and 4 without any problem (they could both draw from 1.2 to 1.7a on nexus 5)and spot a little green led that light up when connected to car.If you look on vinsic site they say they use an high quality chip inside to ensure a great reliability and protection that shut off power in case of overvoltage overheating and short circuit ,even the shape is made for security,you can use it to smash windshield in case of emergeny,but I wish i will never need this feature .The only little problem I found is that maybe in a car with the cigar lighter in vertical position the charger will not stay strong inside the plug, but in myne I had no problem.So what to say,this brand looks promising. Next item when I get my pay will be the 20000 mah vinsic battery in this review and I will tell you about it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/accessories/review-t3067486
it can even be smashed into (or thrown really hard?) into your windshield to get yourself to safety if something happens?
Yes sure is heavy ,I think about 100gr, it s heavier then a nexus 4 for sure, or maybe is cause weight is concentrated in a small object. It s not a declared function,but on they re site you can see the picture I posted with a smashed glass
This is an amazing car charger to have. The Slick chrome top and black bottom gives it a unique design that not many car chargers these days have. I just plug it in the hole and it turns on for you to plug your Phone's Usb Cord Cable in. The Green light that displays when it is plugged in, is really nice and innovative. Since it is a Dual Port, it both has a 2.4a port for each to have both an even charge for your devices. So far, I have plugged in my Motorola G Phone Cord in it, and it works great. I also have plugged in one for my tablet, and that charges pretty good as well. The time it takes to charge my devices are at a good rate as well. I would say about 2-4 hours if leaving it in the place where the cigarette hole is at.
Now since I couldn't show my phone using the port, I had to use one of my tablets. As you can see from looking at it, the light turns solid green when it is plugged in. How cool is that. I will recommend this product to my family & friends.
I bought one as well, but it as not working. Actually, green led is shining but is is not charging my Note 3. I bought it on Aliexpress. I contacted the seller and he send me another one free of charge. But, the same thing. Green led is shining but it is not charging my phone. Anybody experienced same problem?
I tried again today. With very same cable it charges some Alcatel android phone, but not Note3
The Samsung micro AB cable uses 5.3 v. Not the 5V USB standard. I have a galaxy tab and can't get anything but the official charger for these services and official cable to charge at high amp. You can plug a microB USB into one side of the port and it will charge at .5 amps or so.
