Simply place your smartphone on the powerbank and charging will begin automatically. Through magnetic induction, the powerbank can transfer power to the device you place on it.
How Does a Magnetic Powerbank Work?
In principle, magnetic powerbanks work based on electromagnetic induction. There are two important components in how this device works, namely the transmitter coil in the powerbank and the receiver coil in other devices.
- The transmitter coil generates an electromagnetic field: The transmitter coil in the powerbank generates an electromagnetic field when electricity flows through it.
- The receiver coil converts electrical current: The receiver coil in the device converts the electromagnetic field into electrical energy to charge the battery.
An important consideration when charging with this device is the position of the coils; if they are misaligned, it can slow down the charging process or even cause it to fail.
The Benefits of a Magnetic Powerbank
Using a magnetic powerbank will provide many benefits, especially for charging without being wired. Here are some of the main benefits:
1. Wireless charging
The main benefit of a magnetic powerbank is wireless charging. With its magnetic feature, the powerbank can charge simply by attaching it to the device, and the power will be charged immediately.
2. Compact design
Another benefit of this powerbank is its compact design. Not only that, this powerbank is lightweight, making it very easy to carry when traveling.
3. Enhanced convenience
Magnetic powerbanks are designed without cables, enhancing convenience. You will no longer be bothered by tangled cables or searching for a power outlet to charge your device.
4. Reduced port wear
Reduced port wear is another advantage of this powerbank. Wireless charging reduces the risk of damage to the physical charging port on your smartphone.
Magnetic Powerbank Regulation in Indonesia
The magnetic powerbank uses Wireless Power Transmission (WPT) technologies that operate within a specific frequency spectrum. In Indonesia, any WPT-based wireless device is required to have a DJID (Directorate General of Digital Infrastructure) under the Ministry of Communication and Digital (KOMDIGI).
Magnetic powerbank regulation is based on KEPMEN No. 46 Tahun 2025 for WiFi, which requires all radio frequency-based devices to meet specific technical standards before being sold in the country.
The DJID certification ensures that the product meets government safety and quality regulations and does not interfere with other communication devices. The certification process involves technical testing, such as frequency adjustments, safety checks, and compatibility with the surrounding environment.
Once the tests are completed, products that pass are listed in a Test Result Report, which confirms that the product is safe and ready for sale in Indonesia. This report reassures customers that the product meets technical standards and is secure.
For companies wanting to sell magnetic powerbank products in Indonesia, Type Approval Certification Services for ICT Products are available to assist with this process. This service includes preparing technical and legal documents, conducting required testing, ensuring compliance with regulations, helping companies streamline the certification process, and giving consumers confidence in certified products.
