Best affordable wireless charger for Nexus 7 2013?

[Mozillo]

My charger port for my Nexus 7 has been broken for quiet a while, I cannot afford repairs atm, and I would like to know any good wireless chargers I can buy that are pretty low cost. I don't care much about the looks I just want the practicality for now. Also If my Charger port is broken would wireless charging work?

The is the one I use with my Nexus 7 - Choetech t511

Amazon.com: CHOE UPGRADED Qi Wireless Charger Charging Pad for Galaxy Note 5, LG G4,Galaxy S6,Nexus 6,Moto Droid Turbo,Nexus 5/7(2013)/4, Nokia Lumia 1020/920/928,MOTO Droid Maxx/Droid Mini, HTC Droid DNA, HTC Rzound,Blackberry Z30,Pentax WG-III came

It works great and is fairly inexpensive. Assuming it's just a bad port, this should work fine.

That's the charger I bought, a few questions.

Does it heat up the device when charging?

And how long does it take to charge from 0 to full?

It does get a little warm when charging, but I don't think it's any warmer than when charging via the usb port. I never let mine get down to zero so I can't say exactly how long it takes. I think it's a little slower than using the usb port, by outweighed by the convenience factor.

Mine get's a little hot when it's on, and it's charging time was pretty long, put I had updates running. Is this normal for it get hot?

We have this one for N4 which also works on N7 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H9B7ALK...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU4560261. The smaller version without an adapter is http://www.amazon.com/RAVPower-Wire...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU4560261. So far, I've had good luck with RAV products.

Qi chargers charge at 640mA, so to put 2300mAh into the battery at a 640mA rate, with about 70% efficiency takes about 5 hours.

Two important points:

1. There should be a light on the charger that shows when you have he phone positioned properly.

2. Try to never let a lithium battery get below 40% charge. 0% charge could actually drop it below the constant current point, and the batttery will have to be precharged outside the phone (which means the phone will have to be opened, and most shops would rather sell you a new battery than wire up a jig to precharge the battery). See The Care and Feeding of Lithium Polymer Batteries.

In addition to the charger light, my N7 makes a "ping" sound when positioned properly.

I use Nokia chargers. I got them on eBay for 15 or so. The model numbers are dt900 and dt910. The 910 holds the nexus upright so I can use it as a clock.
