Microsoft’s New York event begins in less than 6 hours. The event will be an avenue for the Redmond-based company to show us what it has been working on for the past 12 months. While we already know some of the products that will be unveiled, there are others we don’t know yet and it appears one of them will support wireless charging seeing as a Microsoft Wireless Charger has just been certified by the FCC.

The wireless charger has the model number 1915 and a power supply rating of 5Vdc, 200mA. It has a maximum power output of 300mW and has an NFC FPC loop antenna. The description also mentions it has a USB to type-C cable and measures 162.9 x 17 x 9.9 mm.

WinCentral reports that the charger runs in three modes: Charging with 10% load, Charging with 50% load, and Charging with full load. They also reported that the wireless charger isn’t designed for the Surface Pen as it supports Notebook charging.

We don’t know which of Microsoft’s new notebooks will actually support wireless charging but we have a feeling it may be the dual-screen Surface device it is set to unveil later today that supports it. We tried checking the Wireless Power Consortium site but didn’t find any Microsoft device on their database.
