My Roam charges fine with a cable but when I put it on my charging dock it [edit: The Roam] just shows a red light and won't charge.

Charging pad details in image below. Is there a compatibility issue?

I guess that makes sense James. So what are we supposed to look for in order to find a suitable charger? Or is it just pot luck?

I’m afraid that Qi charger output can vary wildly from model to model, as well as the device placed on them. I would look for a charger that can output 10W as standard, that doesn’t specify the type of device that would receive it (i.e. Apple - 10W, Samsung 15W etc). The way different manufacturers list their products isn’t very standardized, especially on Amazon, so before biting the bullet and ordering a different one, I’d reach out to the seller to find out the exact specifications, and how the charger would perform with devices other than mobile phones. Good luck!
