Thanks to integrated Mag technology, the Ultra smartphone not only charges wirelessly, but also holds it in place. The magnetic force should be sufficient to securely hold even larger phones in rough seas.
Inductive charger, compact and seaworthy
According to the manufacturer, the Ultra is the smallest wireless charger in the Scanstrut range to date. With a charging power of 15 watts, it enables batteries to be charged quickly. It complies with the Qi2 standard. The Ultra is designed for both 12V and 24V vehicle electrical systems and is waterproof in accordance with the IPX6 standard, which offers protection against strong water jets. This means that the charger can even be installed outdoors. The surface is made of tempered glass and is said to be scratch-resistant.
The Ultra is installed in a 51-millimetre central hole and fixed in place with double-sided adhesive tape. The charger should then be secured with a large nut. Of course, the installation location must be accessible from the rear. The minimum installation depth for the charger is 43 millimetres. The price is around 160 euros.
