Wireless charging and ammo


Recommended Posts

Today was my first trip to the range since getting a new truck a few days ago. When I shoot pistol at the range, I leave my carry ammo in the truck, so that I don't accidentally shoot it and only shoot the cheap reloads. When I bought this truck, the salesman mentioned some jokes about putting metal on the charging bad on the console lid, and how you can heat pop tarts or something. I didn't think much of it, but I paused for a moment today and wondered about what he'd said, as I was just about to rest a magazine full of hollowpoints on it. Is there actually a risk of heating metal on these charging pads?

I leave my (unchargable because I don't have a case) iPhone there for long periods and have never detected any heat from the phone.

 

My attorney says to make sure you don't read this as advice or clearance to leave your bullets here...

I don't think the wireless charger stays on when you shut off the truck.
