charging mat

Phone power surface

A charging mat is a flat pad that wirelessly charges compatible devices placed on its surface.

You set your phone or earbuds on the mat and they charge without plugging in a cable.

Some mats can charge multiple devices simultaneously: I keep a charging mat on my nightstand.
