Review: Belkin\'s 2-in-1 Qi2 Magnetic Charging Pad Powers Up Your iPhone, AirPods, and More

Back at CES in January, Belkin confirmed that several wireless chargers using the Qi2 standard based on MagSafe would soon be rolling out, and I've recently been able to spend some time testing out the BoostCharge 2-in-1 Magnetic Charging Pad from that lineup.

As the name suggests, the BoostCharge 2-in-1 Magnetic Charging Pad with Qi2 15W is a flat pad-style charger offering two surfaces on which to charge devices. One side has a Qi2 wireless charging pad supporting recent iPhone models at up to their maximum of 15 watts, while the other is a 5-watt Qi pad intended to work with AirPods models with wireless charging cases. Other devices which support Qi wireless charging like phones can also be charged on the pad, though they will not align magnetically and will charge at a much slower speed compared to using the Qi2 pad.

In my testing, I found that the Qi2 pad didn't charge my iPhone 15 Pro Max quite as quickly as Apple's MagSafe Charger does, but it was fairly close and definitely faster than an original Qi pad which is limited to 7.5 watts for iPhones. The pad was able to boost my iPhone's battery from 30% to around 70% in an hour, though as with all other charging methods, the rate began to slow significantly beyond about 80% to prevent overheating and overcharging as the battery began approaching a full charge.

In addition to the two wireless charging pads, the BoostCharge 2-in-1 Magnetic Charging Pad includes an additional USB-C port supporting up to 5 watts of output, allowing for wired charging of other devices such as an Apple Watch with an appropriate cable. (If you prefer integrated Apple Watch charging, Belkin also offers a BoostCharge 3-in-1 Magnetic Charging Pad with an Apple Watch charging puck already included to attach to that USB-C port.)

The BoostCharge 2-in-1 Magnetic Charging Pad is available in either black or white, and the unit is powered by a color-matched 30-watt power adapter and 5-foot (1.5-meter) USB-C to USB-C cable, with both thankfully included in the box. The U.S. power adapter is similar in size and shape to Apple's 20-watt USB-C adapter and unfortunately does not include folding prongs, which would have been convenient for travel. You're of course free to use any USB-C power source of 30 watts or more, so it's easy enough to substitute something that better fits your needs, but I would have liked to see a more travel-friendly adapter right in the box.

The pad design itself is ideal for travel as its minimal thickness allows it to fit nicely in a computer bag or backpack. It is on the heavy side though at around 11 ounces (310 grams) plus the cable and power adapter, which might hamper portability a bit. That heft does, however, contribute to stability on surfaces and makes it easier to detach an iPhone sitting on the magnetic pad. At around 6.4 x 3.2 x 0.6 inches (16.3 x 8.2 x 1.5 cm), the unit is pretty close to the size of an iPhone 15 Pro Max but somewhat thicker due to the slightly elevated Qi2 pad.

The body of the charger is a matte plastic with some arcs of rubber-like material on the bottom to protect surfaces and limit sliding. The Qi2 charging pad on the left has a similar rubber-like surface to protect your phone from scratches, while the lower-power Qi pad on the right is simply a shallow depression in the smooth, hard plastic to help with accurate placement of an AirPods case for charging. Some magnets would have been nice to ensure easy alignment of AirPods cases supporting that feature, but I didn't have any trouble getting my AirPods to register properly with the charger.

The extra USB-C output port is on the right side of the unit, while the USB-C input port is on the rear. There's no status light for the Qi2 pad, but the AirPods pad has a small LED status light in front of it that shines white while a device is charging or orange if there is a charging error. It also briefly flashes white upon plugging the pad in, confirming the unit is receiving power.

总的来说，我发现 BoostCharge 二合一磁力充电板是一款可靠的无线充电配件，具有一些不错的功能，但也有一些小缺点。它具有相对适合旅行的设计，具有干净、不引人注目的外观，并且可以可靠地为设备充电，但在我看来，AirPods 充电点缺乏磁性对齐以及电源适配器上缺乏折叠插脚是错失的机会。

虽然充电板设计简单且方便旅行，但有些人可能更喜欢有角度的充电表面，以便在手机在桌子或床头柜上充电时更好地看到屏幕。幸运的是，贝尔金也提供采用这种设计的充电器，甚至有些可以在两者之间转换，因此您有选择。

贝尔金的 BoostCharge 二合一磁性充电板售价为 79.99 美元，有黑色或白色两种颜色贝尔金网站和亚马逊。 Qi2 的预期优势之一是能够拥有 MagSafe 充电性能，而无需苹果的 MagSafe 许可，这会导致成本上升，但 Belkin 类似的 BoostCharge Pro 二合一无线充电板（具有官方 MagSafe 充电功能）的售价完全相同79.99 美元。它确实缺少 Qi2 型号所具有的额外 USB-C 输出端口，但我仍然希望 Qi2 比 MagSafe 能比我迄今为止看到的节省更多成本。

正如我之前提到的，除了除二合一型号外，贝尔金还提供三合一型号，其中包括一个 Apple Watch 快速充电器，可直接安装到设备主体上的额外 USB-C 端口。但部分由于官方 Apple Watch 充电组件的许可和采购，转向 3 合 1 型号的价格会增加 50 美元，达到 129.99 美元。

或者，您也可以购买 2 合 1 型号型号，然后只需花费 29 美元购买官方 USB-C Apple Watch 充电线即可插入该 USB-C 端口。它不像贝尔金的直连模块那么干净，但它可以为您节省 20 美元，或者还有其他多设备充电解决方案可以满足您的特定需求。
