Change how you charge in 2020 with Anker's PowerWave Wireless Charger on sale for $8

If you have a smartphone that's Qi-compatible but you're still not using wireless charging, you've been missing out. Chargers like Anker's PowerWave 10W Wireless Charging Pad are extremely affordable these days, so you don't even save much by choosing traditional charging — if anything at all. With today's deal, you can start wireless charging for only $8.49 and save $6 off the usual cost of this well-reviewed charging accessory when you use promo code AKA25313 during checkout.

The pad provides 10W high-speed charging for devices that support it such as Samsung's line of Galaxy devices, while iPhone models charge at 7.5W. It gives a 5W charge for any other Qi-enabled phone or device. The LED indicators let you know the charging status at a glance, including whether or not the phone's case is too thick or there's something else between the phone and the charger.

Luckily, this wireless charging pad works with most cases up to 5mm thick, but any metal or cards in the back of the phone will prevent charging. Existing users rate it highly with an average of 4.4 stars out of 5 based on over 3,300 reviews. Anker also backs it up with an 18-month warranty.

Though it includes a USB cable, this pad does not come with a USB wall adapter to plug into. You'll want one with Quick Charge 3.0 if you plan to use its fast-charging tech, so grab that additional accessory to ensure you're getting the fastest charge.

Of course, it can be difficult to know which wireless charger to go for given how many there are on the market. That's exactly why this list of best wireless charging pads exists to help you figure out which is the right one for you.
