Belkin has officially launched its first set of accessories that support the new Qi2.2 wireless charging standard, delivering faster 25W charging speeds for compatible devices. This debut comes just a month after the company received certification from the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC).
The new lineup includes three different chargers designed for home, office, and travel use.
Belkin UltraCharge Pro 3-in-1 Magnetic Charging Dock
The UltraCharge Pro 3-in-1 Magnetic Charging Dock is Belkin’s most premium new accessory, priced at $129.99.
- It offers three charging points: an AirPods charger on the weighted base, an Apple Watch charger at the back, and a 25W magnetic smartphone charger in the front.
- Only Qi2.2-compatible devices will get the 25W speed, while other devices will max out at 15W.
- A 45W USB-C power adapter is included, ensuring all three pads can work simultaneously.
- Designed for desks and bedside tables, it aims to be a permanent charging solution.
Belkin UltraCharge 3-in-1 Foldable Magnetic Charger
At $99.99, the UltraCharge 3-in-1 Foldable Magnetic Charger offers similar functionality to the Pro but in a travel-friendly design.
- It folds flat for easy portability.
- When unfolded, it reveals a 25W smartphone charging pad, an AirPods charging spot, and a compact Apple Watch charger that folds out from the back.
- Like the Pro, it also comes with a 45W USB-C power adapter.
Belkin UltraCharge 2-in-1 Foldable Magnetic Charger
The most affordable option is the UltraCharge 2-in-1 Foldable Magnetic Charger, priced at $59.99.
- It is nearly identical to the 3-in-1 travel model but excludes the Apple Watch charger.
- Instead, it features a 5W USB-C port on the base, allowing users to plug in another smartwatch or device.
- It will be sold in two different designs: one with squared edges and another with rounded corners.
- A 45W USB-C power adapter is also included.
What This Means for Wireless Charging
Belkin’s Qi2.2 chargers highlight the shift toward faster, more efficient wireless charging. While Apple’s MagSafe already supports 15W, the new 25W Qi2.2 standard doubles charging speed potential for compatible smartphones and future devices.
By offering both desk-friendly docks and foldable travel chargers, Belkin is targeting users who want convenience without compromising speed.
