AAWireless, known for Android Auto adapters, now sells a $50 magnetic car charger with a built-in fan meant to keep your phone cooler while it charges.
AAWireless has launched a car phone charger with a fan inside. It is called AAWireless Charge, it costs $50, and it is sold only on the company's own website. The company is better known for adapters that turn a wired Android Auto connection into a wireless one.
The charger uses Qi2, a wireless charging standard that holds the phone in place with magnets. It works with MagSafe, Pixelsnap and Qi2 phones in general, and charges at up to 25 watts on phones that support it. The fan is there for cooling, and the company calls it quiet.
The box includes an air vent mount and an adhesive base. It also holds two magnetic ring adapters for phones that are marked "Qi2 Ready" but have no built-in magnets and no magnetic case.
AAWireless adapters are still sold on Amazon. The new charger is not.
The material does not say when orders will ship, whether it sells outside the US, or how much cooler the fan keeps a phone. The noise claim comes from the company, not from independent testing.
If your phone overheats in the car, this $50 cooled charger may help, but confirm your phone or case has magnets or use the included rings.
