The Verizon Wireless Charging Pad for Android devices has begun hitting the shelves in Verizon stores for $70. It is designed for devices such as the HTC Thunderbolt, LG Revolution and HTC Droid Incredible 2 that have all been recently confirmed as supporting wireless charging. In order for the charging pad to work, the devices must be retrofitted with the optional wireless charging battery door.
For most customers, the cost of going to a wireless charging system for their phones will cost at least $100 when the cost of the inductive battery door is factored in to the equation. Currently, battery door covers are going for anything between $30 and $40 making the added convenience an expensive addition.
