That's opposed to the median efficiency of 58% found in many corded power supplies today, some of which drop as low as 16%, according to WiPower.]]>Sep 29th 2007 9:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/29/seiko-epson-murata-team-up-on-contactless-quick-charger/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/29/seiko-epson-murata-team-up-on-contactless-quick-charger/Oct 1st 2007 1:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/29/seiko-epson-murata-team-up-on-contactless-quick-charger/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/29/seiko-epson-murata-team-up-on-contactless-quick-charger/
