wireless charger

Cordless power station

A wireless charger is a device that transfers power to electronics without a physical cable connection.

The device and charger communicate through electromagnetic induction when placed in close proximity: Just set your phone on the wireless charger overnight.

Despite the name, the charger itself typically plugs into a wall outlet—only the connection to the device being charged is wireless.
