The best thing you can do is minimize the distance between the primary and secondary coils. Is this a trickle charger? Why do you want it to be wireless? Where are you planning on putting the secondary coil on the (metal) car? Will you put the hood up to do the charging?
 

Related to Wireless Car Battery Charger: Inductive Power Transfer Tips

What is inductive power transfer?

Inductive power transfer is the process of wirelessly transferring electrical energy between two or more objects through the use of electromagnetic induction. This technology is commonly used in charging devices such as smartphones and electric vehicles.

How does inductive power transfer work?

Inductive power transfer works by using an alternating current in a transmitter coil to create a magnetic field. This magnetic field induces a current in a nearby receiver coil, which is then converted into electrical energy to power a device.

What are the advantages of inductive power transfer?

Inductive power transfer eliminates the need for physical connections, making it a convenient and safe option for charging devices. It also allows for more flexibility in the design of devices, as they do not need to accommodate for charging ports. Additionally, inductive power transfer is efficient and reduces the risk of overcharging or damaging devices.

What are the limitations of inductive power transfer?

One limitation of inductive power transfer is the distance between the transmitter and receiver coils. The further apart they are, the weaker the magnetic field and the less energy that can be transferred. This technology is also less efficient than traditional wired charging methods.

Where is inductive power transfer used?

Inductive power transfer is used in a variety of applications, including wireless charging pads for smartphones and electric toothbrushes, electric vehicle charging stations, and even in some medical devices. It is also being researched for potential use in powering electronic devices in remote locations.
