Hi,
When we were using the STWBC86JR as the wireless charging TX, we encountered a problem. The design is defined as wirelessly charging the battery and supporting the product's operation. The tested charging efficiency was relatively low, only 43%. When the device was turned off, only supplied power to the battery, and the efficiency was only 32%(the battery was set to current limit). This means that a large part of the energy is converted into heat energy. We have adopted a cooling solution, but still hope to improve the charging efficiency. Can I ask if you have any suggestions?
The currently used TX coil is 6.2uH, with a diameter of 20mm. The working frequency measured at stability is 102kHz. We found that reducing the spacing between the TX and RX coils can increase the efficiency by 50%. However, since the shell (about 2mm) cannot be thinner, reducing the spacing is not feasible. Currently, there is no other solution. Could you help us find some ideas to improve efficiency?
Thanks！
Wendy
