Unveiled earlier this year at CES Las Vegas, Belkin recently released the BoostCharge Pro Magnetic Power Bank series in Australia. Featuring Qi2 wireless charging technology, Belkin’s latest lineup delivers up to 15W of fast charging power for iPhone 12 models and later. But, what exactly does that mean for your wireless charging experience?

What is Qi2 wireless charging technology?

Qi2 represents the latest advancement in wireless charging standards developed by the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC). Unlike its predecessors, Qi2 supports charging speeds of up to 15W, a significant improvement over earlier versions. This upgrade allows compatible devices, such as the latest iPhone 12 models and beyond, to charge faster wirelessly than ever before. The technology leverages magnetic alignment, ensuring optimal positioning between the device and the charging surface, thereby maximizing charging efficiency.

Best features of the Belkin BoostCharge Pro Magnetic Power Bank

The new Belkin BoostCharge Pro Magnetic Power Bank series – released last week – is designed with Qi2 technology at its core. Available in capacities of 5,000mAh and 10,000mAh, these power banks cater to varying needs from on-the-go convenience to extended power solutions. Here are some standout features:

  1. Fast charging capabilities: The Qi2 standard enables the BoostCharge Pro to deliver up to 15W of wireless charging power to compatible devices. This means that users can achieve rapid charging speeds comparable to traditional wired methods, providing added convenience without the need for cumbersome cables.
  2. Versatility in design: Each power bank is crafted with an integrated kickstand, allowing users to prop up their devices for hands-free use during activities like streaming or video calls. This design feature is complemented by compatibility with magnetic and MagSafe cases up to 3mm thick, ensuring ease of use without obstructing the phone’s functionality.
  3. Multi-device charging: Beyond its primary function as a power bank, the BoostCharge Pro series supports simultaneous charging of multiple devices. Equipped with USB-C ports and integrated cables, users can charge up to three devices simultaneously, catering to a range of technological needs on the go.
  4. Sustainable construction: Belkin emphasizes sustainability in its product offerings, with the BoostCharge Pro Magnetic Power Banks incorporating a minimum of 72% post-consumer recycled materials (PCR). Additionally, the packaging is entirely plastic-free, aligning with the company’s commitment to environmental responsibility.
