Belkin unveiled several new products today at IFA 2025. Its lineup included a wall charger and car charger that will be available starting this month, plus four entries in its SoundForm audio collection. But the standout item from the consumer products brand is its new Qi2 25W wireless charging puck.

The UltraCharge Magnetic Charger 25W promises to power an iPhone from zero to 50 percent battery in just 30 minutes. It also has some clever design choices, such as a kickstand so you can charge a phone on a tabletop and still have the screen be visible. The kickstand is collapsible and could also be used as a PopSocket-style phone grip, although the puck’s own charging cable is 6.6 feet, so you can’t wander too far while using it. The charger also boasts Belkin’s ChillBoost passive cooling tech to reduce heat buildup and protect the battery. The UltraCharge Magnetic Charger 25W will be available in October 2025, and although its US prices haven’t been set, the UK retail cost is £30.

The zippy Qi2 charging standard has been rolling out to more and more mobile devices this year. Several Android brands, which had historically not offered built-in support for that standard, have even been jumping on the Qi2 bandwagon.
