## Description

Power Transmitter Omni is used in conjunction with [wireless battery cells](/wiki/battery-wireless-cell). It automatically charges them over-the-air within a 15m radius from its location (including while they are in use), with losses between 25% and 75% depending on how close the batteries are to the transmitter.


## Estimated Charging Times

The charging time highly depends on the distance between the battery cell and the transmitter. The minimal time is reached when they are close to each other.
- For the [Battery Wireless Cell](/wiki/battery-wireless-cell) the maximal charging power is 210W (approx.). The corresponding efficiency factor is about 0.7.
- For the [Battery Wireless Cell (Big)](/wiki/battery-wireless-cell-big) the maximal charging power is 190W (approx.). The corresponding efficiency factor is about 0.635.
Both results were obtained with the cells located in exactly the same place.
- Latest test showed that the batteries get charged with the same amount of power. The test did not include the power consumption of the transmitter so no efficiency factor was calculated.

| Battery Type | Capacity (J) | Power (W) | Estimated Charging Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| [Battery Wireless Cell](/wiki/battery-wireless-cell) | 12,000 | 210 | 28.5s |
| [Battery Wireless Cell (Big)](/wiki/battery-wireless-cell-big) | 72,000 | 190 | 3m 9s |
