Magnetic charger

[BadBoy-Don]

My phone takes days to be charged when I charge it with the magnetic charger. Anybody knows why? Many thanks.

To clarify: if you're using a magnetic cable charger (not a dock) then it's not a Sony product, thus quality of charging will be variable and not of a standard quality. Sony only has the Magnetic Dock DK48 for Z3 series. I baught myself one of these magnetic cables and it charges my phone FASTER than regular dock when connected to the same adapter.

Bear in mind that chargong via magnetic chargers is dependent on the cleanliness of both charger and port. Any dust, rust, or residues on either of them can compromise the charging speed.

The Sony DK48 charges to 100% on lollipop

I'm thinking of getting the Dk48 but I have a question.
How difficult is it to line up? I have a magnetic charging cable. And I'm not going to lie it's a right pain to get the contacts to align in or order to stimulate charge. It's almost like the magnet becomes my enemy. So I just end up using the USB. 😕
Any advise would be great.

Quite easy I just slide it along and get the beep first time

Totally agree with you. I don't use magnetic charging cable anymore.
