Power banks, wireless chargers, and charging docks that keep my devices topped up.
For my iPhone 17 Pro Max, Apple Watch Ultra 2, and AirPods Pro setup, I compared the Belkin UltraCharge Pro 3-in-1 against the Ugreen MagFlow 3-in-1, both supporting Qi2.2 25W charging with Apple Watch certification.
The Belkin UltraCharge 3-in-1 Foldable Magnetic Charger is my first UltraCharge product from Belkin. Designed for travellers, it charges iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods simultaneously in a compact, foldable form factor ideal for travel.
The Belkin BoostCharge Pro Power Bank 10K with Apple Watch Charger is Belkin's latest portable charger designed for Apple users, retailing at S$179. It supports fast charging for Apple Watch and is available at major electronics retailers.
The Belkin BoostCharge Slim Magnetic Power Bank 5K is Belkin's newest slim power bank for iPhone, retailing at S$65 in Singapore. A compact option for users who need portable wireless charging without the added bulk.
The Kuxiu X40 Turbo Wireless Charging Station caught my eye on social media for being the only orange wireless charger I had seen, perfectly matching my iPhone 17 Pro Max in Cosmic Orange. Received as a housewarming gift.
Using the S$50 Singtel Shop voucher from my iPhone 17 Pro Max pre-order, I picked up the Sharge Retractable 65W Charger for S$49.90 after Apple's 40W Dynamic Power Adapter never made it onto Singtel Shop.
The Anker 25000mAh 165W Power Bank pushes up to 165W across four ports and packs a display plus two built-in USB-C cables. I grabbed the silver one for S$83.25 on 11/11, well below its S$159.90 retail price.
The Apple 40W Dynamic Power Adapter with 60W Max delivers 40W with short 60W peaks and is the first charger to use the USB PD 3.2 SPR AVS spec. It is sold only in seven Type-A socket countries.
The Anker 140W Charger is a four-port unit topping out at 140W, bundled with a 1.8m 240W braided cable and a foldable UK plug. I picked the silver version for S$60.27 during the 10/10 sale, down from S$85.90.
The Ugreen MagFlow 2-in-1 is part of Ugreen's new MagFlow series supporting Qi2.2 at up to 25W. Retailing for S$76.99, its compact 6.1cm footprint is travel-friendly, with the 228g weight counterbalancing heavier iPhones.
The Ugreen MagFlow Magnetic Wireless Power Bank is billed as the world's first Qi2.2-certified power bank, delivering up to 25W wireless charging versus 15W on Qi2.0. It is part of Ugreen's new MagFlow range of Qi2 chargers.
The Benks ArmorGo Qi2 Power Bank is the Qi2-certified version of the ArmorGo, lifting wireless charging from 5W to the full Qi2 speed. Oddly, Benks never prints the Qi2 logo on the box. I have it in DawnLight Gold.
The Benks ArmorGo Power Bank comes in 5,000mAh and 10,000mAh capacities and several designs, sold only on the Benks website for now. Prices range from US$39.99 to US$50.99, with free shipping to Singapore and code lesterchan15 for 15% off.
Belkin's answer to Anker's MagGo, the BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Charging Travel Pad comes in two variants: UK-only at S$225 or with international travel tips at S$239. It bundles a 36W charger and a 1.5m cable.
Alongside its magnetic power bank, Belkin offers the BoostCharge Power Bank 10K with a built-in 5.7cm USB-C cable instead of Qi2 wireless, so you can skip carrying a separate cable. It comes in 10,000mAh and four colours.
The Belkin BoostCharge Pro Magnetic Power Bank 10K is Qi2 compatible, delivering the full 15W to iPhones versus 7.5W on Belkin's older non-certified packs. It retails for S$129, with a 5K version at S$95, in black and white.
The Ugreen 130W 3-Port Car Charger packs two USB-C ports and one USB-A, with the second USB-C hitting 100W for laptops. Lightweight at 45g and a little plasticky, I picked it up for just S$16.81 on Shopee.
A review unit from Ugreen, the Uno 2-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Charger retails for S$60.90 and is Qi2 certified for 15W to your iPhone, plus a 5W pad below for AirPods. The decorative side ears are purely aesthetic.
While travelling in Bangkok, my last charging gap was my Apple Watch. The Apple charging cable was far pricier in Thailand than Singapore, so I instead picked up the Native Union Voyage 2-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Charger nearby.
I forgot my travel gadget pouch on a Bangkok trip, and my hotel only had USB-A wall sockets. With just a few loose cables on hand, I needed a USB-C charger so my short cables and MagSafe power bank stayed useful.
During 11/11 I grabbed the Sharge Icemag 2 Power Bank for S$74.90, down from S$89.90, to replace my fading Apple MagSafe Battery Pack. It is a 10,000mAh Qi2-certified pack offering up to 15W wireless charging, though heavy at 222g.
My one Black Friday haul: the Anker Prime 250W 6-Port GaNPrime Charger for S$162.29, down from around S$222.99. Most of the saving came from finally signing up for a MariBank credit card, which added an instant discount.
