Abstract
Systems and techniques are provided for performance adjustment for wireless power transfer devices. A wireless power transfer device may be activated. A characteristic of the performance of the activated wireless power transfer device may be measured. It may be determined that the measured characteristic of the activated wireless power transfer device does not meet a performance requirement for the wireless power transfer device. An adjustment to be applied to the wireless power transfer device may be determined. The adjustment may be based on determining that the measured characteristic of the activated wireless power transfer device does not meet the performance requirement for the wireless power transfer device. The adjustment may be applied to the wireless power transfer device.
