With more devices adopting wireless charging, the need for an innovative, practical solution that keeps your gadgets powered up without clutter has grown. Belkin’s BoostCharge Pro Magnetic Power Bank with Qi2 15W enters the scene as a compact yet feature-rich accessory designed for iPhone and Qi2-compatible devices. Positioned as a versatile charging companion, it brings wireless convenience, portable power, and magnetic alignment in one package.
This model marks Belkin’s adoption of Qi2 wireless charging technology, delivering faster, safer charging with better energy optimisation. It’s specially tailored for iPhone 15 users but remains useful across various Qi2-enabled smartphones. More than just a power bank, it acts as a wireless charging stand and a travel-friendly battery pack and even supports Apple’s StandBy mode for horizontal charging. While the product aims to tick all the right boxes, how well does it deliver in day-to-day use?
Compact design with magnetic appeal
Belkin has given this power bank a clean and modern look. The rounded edges and matte finish offer a minimalistic aesthetic that fits current Apple product designs well. Measuring small enough to fit in your pocket or bag, its size doesn’t compromise on battery capacity. The 10K model holds enough juice to give an iPhone 15 around 35 hours of additional battery life. Colour options include white, black, and blue.
One of the standout elements is its magnetic Qi2 attachment. It clicks into place on iPhone 12 and newer models with a secure snap, similar to MagSafe but with better alignment thanks to Qi2’s upgraded standard. This ensures a consistent charging position with minimal effort. The power bank’s back features a small kickstand tucked neatly into the body. It folds out easily and props up the phone at a perfect viewing angle, whether on a call or watching a video.
The kickstand is made of sturdy metal and branded with a subtle “Belkin” logo, feeling reliable enough for regular use. There’s also thoughtful design around the camera bump, with the power bank’s shape avoiding interference or obstruction. This makes it more usable while attached, especially for people using their phones while charging. Despite its relatively lightweight build, the device feels solid in hand. However, those who prefer ultra-slim power banks might find this model slightly bulkier due to the integrated kickstand and higher battery capacity. That said, the design strikes a reasonable balance between portability and functionality for a device designed to stay on the phone while in use.
Real-world performance and charging speeds with Qi2
The power bank is equipped with Qi2 wireless charging technology, capable of delivering up to 15W of power. That’s a significant improvement over traditional 7.5W MagSafe models. In daily use, this means faster top-ups, especially for iPhone 15 users, without needing to plug in a single cable. During testing, it took around 45 minutes to bring an iPhone 15 from 20% to 75%, which is reasonable for a wireless charger.
Beyond wireless charging, the device also supports two USB-C ports. These come in handy when charging other devices like earbuds, tablets, or even a second phone. Using the wireless pad and USB-C ports, you can charge up to three devices simultaneously. It’s a good feature set for people who often carry multiple devices while travelling or commuting.
Belkin also includes pass-through charging. This allows the power bank to charge a phone while it’s plugged into the wall. Once the phone is topped up, it will recharge the power bank. In practice, this works well for overnight charging setups or at a desk where you want to keep everything powered with just one wall outlet.
Battery life is another strength. The 10,000mAh capacity reliably provided more than one full charge for most phones. Power delivery was consistent, and there was no overheating or noticeable drop in speed. The onboard LED indicators are helpful for monitoring battery levels but could be brighter — they’re hard to see in direct sunlight.
User experience across different environments
What makes the BoostCharge Pro Magnetic Power Bank stand out is how well it adapts to different types of users. For commuters and hybrid workers, the combination of magnetic attachment and wireless charging makes it a no-fuss option during train rides, Grab trips, or transitions between workspaces. It eliminates the need for cables or bulky power bricks, providing a seamless way to stay charged between locations.
Content creators and social media users will appreciate the built-in kickstand. It’s handy for watching videos as it doubles as a makeshift stand for shooting hands-free clips, quick livestreams, or even time-lapses. The battery acts as a charger and a stabiliser, making light content creation much easier on the go. The magnetic grip also ensures the phone stays in place while recording.
Students and professionals can benefit from the multi-device charging setup. The USB-C ports simultaneously charge earbuds, tablets, or power banks from one source. In group study settings or client meetings, the ability to share power without swapping cables is practical and often appreciated. It’s handy for those who depend on their devices lasting through long days of use.
Frequent travellers and flyers will also find this power bank reliable. The TSA-approved battery capacity, with pass-through charging and compact size, makes it a great companion for short business trips and long-haul flights. It’s one of those accessories that fits into your bag and then quietly proves its worth repeatedly with no setup, clutter, or dependable power wherever needed.
The verdict: Belkin BoostCharge Pro Magnetic Power Bank with Qi2 15W
Belkin’s BoostCharge Pro Magnetic Power Bank with Qi2 15W stands out for its mix of fast charging, portability, and thoughtful design. It offers a well-rounded solution for iPhone users who want both convenience and power in a single, travel-ready device. With features like pass-through charging, a magnetic kickstand, and USB-C versatility, it easily covers most charging needs on the go.
The use of Qi2 wireless charging is a big plus, providing quicker speeds and better alignment without compromising safety. While its design won’t suit everyone, particularly Android users who won’t benefit from the same level of integration — it excels in its intended ecosystem.
At around S$139 (about US$100 depending on the market) and variant (5K or 10K), it’s not the cheapest power bank available, but its performance and features justify the premium. This magnetic power bank is a strong contender worth considering for those who prioritise fast wireless charging with solid usability and travel readiness.
