An average ChargeSpot adds 10 hours/week of additional battery life to a mobile device.
We spend up to 50% of our waking hours at work and in the office. Wireless charging in cafes, cars and nightstands gets a lot of press, but the work environment is a place where power is needed for productivity and effectiveness. Yet, mobile battery life has substantially declined over the last 15 years. Nokia 8210 battery life was measured in weeks, versus new iPhones that range from 5-5.5 hrs of real world use time before battery degradation.
People have come up with various solutions to get around that. It is quite common nowadays to see someone fishing tangled cables out of their bags, or carry around portable charging bricks twice the size of their phones. Power, however, still remains inconvenient and a massive source of frustration to many. Battery life is consistently the number one most requested improvement on new mobile phones.
We’ve been tracking how wireless charging actually impacts power in the workplace with ChargeSpot Connect and here’s what we found. On average, a ChargeSpot is used 14.6 hours a week. This translates to 10.7 full charges of an iPhone 5, or 59 hours of additional battery life for a team per ChargeSpot. An average employee charged their phone 5x more often than without wireless charging, and would now leave the office with an additional 2+ hours of battery life a day.
This ties clearly into the research that shows that 40% of charging happens only because of convenient time / location. By increasing the convenience of charging and removing the barrier of wires and adapters, you ensure greater battery life and hence productivity of your team.
