What Should I Do If My Anker Qi2 Wireless Charger Stops Working, Overheats, or Charges Intermittently?
Overheating Issues
It is normal for the wireless charger to feel warm while in use. The device complies with international safety standards, including EN 62368-1 and IEC 62368-1, and meets specific safety standards for the USA (UL62368-1) and Canada (CSA 62368-1).
Troubleshooting Steps for Issues Such as Stopping, Overheating, or Intermittent Charging
For Phones:
- Confirm your phone supports Qi2 wireless charging. Currently, only iPhone 12 and later models are compatible.
- Use the included USB-C adapter and cable. If the issue persists, switch to another PD USB-C wall charger and cable rated at 40W or higher. Note: If the power supply is insufficient or defective, the charger's indicator will flash.
- Restart your phone and try charging again.
- Remove any phone cases, particularly non-MagSafe cases or those thicker than 2.5 mm, as they might reduce charging efficiency.
- Test the wireless charger with another compatible iPhone if possible.
For Earbuds:
- Verify if your earbuds support wireless charging. For instance, only AirPods with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), such as the AirPods 4, support wireless charging, while other models require a USB-C connector. Reference: https://www.apple.com/airpods-4/specs.
