Why do no batteries have wireless (Qi) charging built in?

    Just wondering.

    Picked up a few charging pads and then added wireless charging to my phones (Moto G and Samsung GS3). Sounds silly, but it's great just to put your phone down and know it's charging.

    I'm really surprised no batts are shipping with wireless charging built in. I know I could mod my iLeaf iStick for wireless charging (when I get it), but I'm surprised manufacturers aren't adding this to make there device stand out from the crowd.

    Here's a link on Amazon, in case someone doesn't know just how small these charging pads are.

    The vaporshark has it as an extra, you slide it into the rubber protective case. Pretty neat idea.

    Cool! I haven't had the iStick in my hand yet, but I'm hoping I can do something similar.
