Peak Design’s new wireless charging stand pulls double duty, literally

The three new charging accessories from Peak Design hit the high notes, like (dual) Qi2 wireless charging and wired fast charging without bulky bricks.

Last year at CES, Peak Design gave us a sneak preview of its upcoming accessory lineup. Obviously, the company is known for its premium travel bags and accessories, and they make some awesome gear. But they have mobile accessories, too, and the latest release looks pretty cool.

All three new products are charging accessories that work with Android. More specifically, they support the right protocols, like Qi2 25W wireless charging and 65W fast wired charging.

In fact, the 2-in-1 Mobile Charging Station supports dual, simultaneous Qi2 charging. In essence, it’s an adjustable charging stand that either lays flat or props up for a more traditional experience. Premium build materials like aluminum are used for the base, top cradle, and stem. There’s a recessed USB-C port for the adapter you’ll need to source yourself, and a secondary USB-C output port for charging a third device.

To get full power from the 2-in-1 Mobile Charging Station, you’ll need at minimum a 75W charging adapter and cable. The box includes a 100W cable, but charging two devices at 25W wirelessly takes a lot of power. Still, it’s pretty cool that it packs two Qi2 pads, not just one paired with a slower coil.

If that’s not your use case, a 65W charger is enough to power one pad at the full 25W. The absolute minimum required power to charge anything is 45W, Peak Design says on its website .
