magnetic charger

Snap-on power source

A magnetic charger is a device that uses magnets to align and attach to an electronic device for wireless or contact-based charging.

The magnets ensure proper positioning and create a secure connection: The magnetic charger snaps right onto the back of the phone.

Common for smartphones, smartwatches, and earbuds, magnetic chargers offer convenience over fumbling with cables.
