Inductive charging range
Hi all
Been corresponding with a piercer I plan to have install my implantable edison when ready, got told this regarding the charging range:
"The skin and coating together will likely be around the 8mm limit thick I would think, if you have an option for a further charging range I would suggest you take it."
Qi charging (which is what I planned to use) has this maximum range by default, though apparently newer charging pads are capable of going up to 30mm on existing receivers, which would be fine if I could find such a newer charging pad.
There is of course the adafruit inductive charging set or a custom circuit, but that brings with it the risk of losing the charger and having adafruit discontinue it - the attraction of Qi is that I should be able to replace the charger down the line quite easily.
Does anyone have thoughts on this?

If the adafruit module was discontinued it would be trivial to produce a replacement module. Qi standard limits aren't any physical barrier, they are just limits for a certain efficiency. I'm fairly sure you can buy a chinese charger and it will work over a longer distance, with much higher losses.
