Belkin UltraCharge 3-in-1 Foldable Magnetic Charger
The Belkin UltraCharge 3-in-1 Foldable Magnetic Charger is my first UltraCharge product from Belkin. I am not aware that they have an UltraCharge product line, as I always thought they only have BoostCharge products.
Belkin UltraCharge 3-in-1 Foldable Magnetic Charger is designed for users who want a compact solution to charge their iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods simultaneously, which is great for travelling.
It retails for S$189. You can get it online from Shopee and Lazada or in-store from Best Denki, Challenger, Courts, Harvey Norman.
Three colors are available: White, Blue, and Black.
Belkin includes a 45W USB-C power adapter in the box, along with a 1.5m USB-C to USB-C cable.
Design
At a glance, the UltraCharge feels like Belkin’s answer to the Anker MagGo Wireless Charging Station, which has a similar compact foldable design. It also sits alongside the Belkin BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Charging Travel Pad that I reviewed previously. However, the UltraCharge uses the newer Qi2.2 and a different folding mechanism.
Unlike the BoostCharge Pro Travel Pad, which folds flat like a mat, the UltraCharge folds into a compact block measuring 11 × 6 × 3 cm and weighs about 190g, making it as easy to carry in a bag or tech pouch.
When unfolded, the magnetic iPhone charging pad stands, keeping your phone upright while charging. This is useful if you want to use StandBy mode on supported iPhones.
The AirPods charging pad sits on the base, while the Apple Watch charging puck folds out from the back when needed.
Something you can’t see in the charger is Belkin’s ChillBoost. It is a passive cooling technology that helps reduce heat during fast charging.
Charging
Qi2.2 wireless charging is one of UltraCharge’s key highlights, supporting wireless charging of up to 25W. Qi2 wireless chargers, on the other hand, support up to 15W.
The charger is Made For Watch (MFW) certified, which means it can fast-charge your Apple Watch if your Apple Watch supports it (Apple Watch Series 7, Apple Watch SE 3, Apple Watch Ultra, and later).
Conclusion
The Belkin UltraCharge 3-in-1 Foldable Magnetic Charger is a compact and practical charging solution for Apple users who want to charge multiple devices without carrying multiple cables. Its foldable stand-style design makes it easy to pack for travel while remaining useful on a desk or a bedside table.
The addition of Qi2.2 wireless charging up to 25W gives it an edge over many existing wireless chargers, and the MFW certification ensures that compatible Apple Watch models can fast-charge.
Belkin also includes a 45W USB-C power adapter and a 1.5m USB-C cable, so everything you need is in the box.
Overall, it is a solid option if you are looking for a portable 3-in-1 charger that is certified for your Apple devices.
