Belkin BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Charging Travel Pad
Belkin BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Charging Travel Pad is the answer to Anker’s Anker MagGo Wireless Charging Station.
There are two variants to BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Charging Travel Pad. One has international travel tips (US, UK, EU, AU & China), and the other only has the UK tip for the Singapore market.
The one without retails S$225 while the one with international travel tips retail for S$239 on Shopee and Lazada. Of course, during double-digit sales days, you can get it much cheaper than the recommended retail price (RRP).
Inside the packaging is a 36W USB-C charger, a 1.5m USB-C to USB-C cable, and a travel case. The international travel tips variant will include the additional US, UK, EU, AU & China charging tips. My review unit is the one with international travel tips.
When comparing the folded footprint with the Anker MagGo Wireless Charging Station, Belkin’s one is slightly bigger and thicker, 80 x 80 x 35.5 mm vs 89 x 60 x 25 mm for the Anker. Regarding weight, Belkin’s one is also slightly heavier, 210g vs 196g.
Belkin included a 36W USB-C charger instead of the 27W USB-C charger in Anker.
Design-wise, I prefer Belkin as it looks simple and squarish.
Regarding the material used, I prefer the Anker MagGo Wireless Charging Station because it is almost all plastic. In contrast, the surface of the Belkin BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Charging Travel Pad is rubbery. In Singapore’s climate, the rubber might become sticky over time though I have yet to experience that with any Belkin product that
As the product name suggests, the Belkin BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Charging Travel Pad allows you to charge three devices simultaneously: iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods. It is Qi2 and Made for Apple Watch (MFW) certified. So you will get the full 15W wireless charging speed for iPhone 12 and above and fast charging for your Apple Watch for Series 7 and above. The maximum output of the travel pad is 36W.
When unfolded, the Belkin BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Charging Travel Pad measures 258 x 80 x 15.5 mm, making it longish.
When using the Apple Watch Ultra with a closed-loop band and iPhone 16 Pro Max, there is a space issue when charging side by side.
You may need to tilt the Apple Watch charging puck a little.
Alternatively, you can unfold it as an inverted V-shape instead of laying it flat. In this case, you will not have space issues and can even use your iPhone in StandBy (nightstand mode).
Overall, the Belkin BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Travel Pad is a slightly more expensive contender than the Anker MagGo Wireless Charging Station. When comparing the RRP price of S$239 for the Belkin and S$190 for the Anker, the price difference of S$40 will get you a traveling case, a faster 37W charger, and international charging tips.
I feel it is worth getting the Belkin one for travel convenience. But again, different people value convenience differently; for some, this convenience is not worth the S$40.
My only complaint about the Belkin BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Travel Pad is not the price but the material used. The rubber surfaces might get sticky over time due to the humidity in Singapore.
