Quad Lock USB Weatherproof Wireless Charging Head, for Quad Lock Motorcycle Mounts, for Quad Lock 360

Product Information

I’d recommend having the USB head connected to an outlet that’s disconnected when the bike’s turned off (or go for the hard-wired version). The wireless head does ‘remember’ its last state when powering up, so you could leave it turned on and ready to charge if you have a switched auxiliary supply.

If your bike has an SAE port you’ll be able to plug the adapter straight into that. If you don’t have an SAE or USB port, then you attach the wires provided with the adapter directly to your battery, which is how I fitted it to my Hornet. A: The Motorcycle Wireless Charger may draw a small amount of power from your battery when not in use depending on how you have wired it up.

For this test, I used the handlebar mount. Installation, including the vibration mount and the wireless charging head, is a breeze. It took me less than 10 minutes to mount the whole setup. Easy. Two screws are used to fit the base, with a pair of 16mm and 18mm-long M4s supplied to replace the ones fitted to your bike. Make sure you use the right length, and don’t force them if they seem to be bottoming out. If you wire it via a SAE connector directly into your battery, the device will draw a very slight current when not in use (unless using our 12V to USB Smart Adaptor in Auto mode of course, in which case the device will shut off when the battery drops to 12.5V) Is it more of a problem with some devices than others due to the construction of the OIS? If so, what is the difference in the devices? Different phone manufacturers also implement different approaches to manage the charge rate in the aim to protect the phone's battery.

If the power button on the wireless head is switched on , it will draw 12mA. If the power button on the wireless head is switched off , it will draw 6mA In some cases, the wireless charging head may not activate when your ignition is started when plugged into a 3rd party USB charger. This may be resolved by using our Dual USB 12V ChargerTo achieve standard charging output of 5W, this requires an adaptor with a minimum output of 5 Volt/2 Amp* A: Fast Wireless charging is slower than an equivalent wired charger of the same wattage. This is because wireless charging is only 70-80% efficient meaning 20-30% of the power is lost during the wireless transmission process. We have an in-depth support article around expected wireless charging speeds which can be found here. What's the difference between Weatherproof Wireless Charging head and the standard Wireless Charging Head?

For this test, I also mounted a camera at the bottom of the bike. The idea is to let you see what the front wheel was experiencing when the devices were subjected to uneven surfaces.

Generally speaking, the more advanced the camera technology is, the more sensitive it is to high-frequency vibrations. Although there were occasional reports of issues in earlier versions, our team began to identify the major impacts of motorcycle frequencies on phones starting from the iPhone X model and onwards. The effects of frequency in earlier versions were relatively lower compared to subsequent models. The arm itself can be rotated through 360° in 10° increments, and the head, which mounts on the other end, can also be spun in the same way. There’s no pitch adjustment in the head, but you can of course rotate the bar clamp to suit.

A: There are several differences between bother of these charing heads. The weatherproof version of the charger is designed for outdoor use on motorcycles as it needs to withstand vibration, impacts, UV, and be resistant to chemicals (petrol, oil etc) which requires more durable materials and a very robust design. With fast adaptive charging of up to 36 watts, your iPhone or Samsung Galaxy will stay charged for longer.Exposing your iPhone to high amplitude vibrations within certain frequency ranges, specifically those generated by high-power motorcycle engines, can degrade the performance of the camera system.”
