Belkin’s first 25W Qi2 chargers power up multiple devices
Belkin has unveiled its first three wireless charging accessories. The $129.99 UltraCharge Pro 3-in-1 Magnetic Charging Dock is a multi-device wireless charger designed to find a permanent spot on desks and bedside tables. Unfolding its magnetic 25W smartphone charger reveals a spot to charge AirPods on its base, while a compact Apple Watch charger folds out from behind its Qi2.2 pad. A 45W USB-C power adapter is included so all three wirelesscharging pads can be used at the same time.

The most expensive and elaborate of the new accessories is the $129.99 Belkin UltraCharge Pro 3-in-1 Magnetic Charging Dock, which is a multi-device wireless charger designed to find a permanent spot on desks and bedside tables.
It features an AirPods charger on its weighted base, an Apple Watch charger sticking out the back, and an adjustable magnetic smartphone charger in the front – although that’s the only one that offers 25W charging speeds for supported devices. Wireless charging speeds will drop to 15W for devices that aren’t Qi2.2 compatible. A 45W USB-C power adapter is included so all three wireless charging pads can be used at the same time.

Slightly cheaper is the $99.99 Belkin UltraCharge 3-in-1 Foldable Magnetic Charger, which offers similar functionality to the Pro but in a design that completely folds flat for travel. Unfolding its magnetic 25W smartphone charger reveals a spot to charge AirPods on its base, while a compact Apple Watch charger folds out from behind its Qi2.2 pad.
It also comes with a 45W USB-C power adapter, and will be available in two versions: one with a squared-off design and an alternate with more rounded corners.

The $59.99 Belkin UltraCharge 2-in-1 Foldable Magnetic Charger is nearly identical to the 3-in-1 travel model but skips the pop-up Apple Watch charger. In its place is a 5W USB-C port on the base for plugging in the charging cable for other smartwatch models. It will also be available in two different designs and include a 45W power adapter.
