Belkin has announced its latest portable chargers at IFA 2024, and among them are two new Qi2-certified BoostCharge Pro magnetic wireless travel chargers that, in many ways, pick up where Apple’s discontinued MagSafe Duo left off.
A $119 two-in-one model features a 15-watt Qi2 magnetic charging pad and a flip-up Apple Watch puck, while the $129.99 version adds a 5W nonmagnetic Qi charging pad for devices such as AirPods. Both products, like Apple’s MagSafe Duo, are made up of square pads that fold into a stack for easy stowing.
Each of the chargers can either be unfolded flat or tented for StandBy mode, Apple’s feature that can turn certain iPhone models into something like a digital clock or smart home controller when charging in landscape mode. They’re each powered via USB-C, with a 30-watt power brick for the two-device charger and a 36-watt adapter for the three-device one. Both are coming this fall.

Belkin also announced several similar, but less compact, folding chargers. They have some of the same capabilities as the BoostCharge Pro, like 15-watt Qi2 charging and Apple Watch charging.

These chargers range from $44.99 for a single device charger to $69.99 for a 2-in-1 version that also has a standard Qi pad for its base, to $99.99 for a 3-in-1 model that can charge your Apple Watch. The two-device and three-device chargers are available now on Belkin’s website, while the single-device one will come later this month.
