Peak Design, best known for camera bags and phone mounts, has two new Qi2 magnetic wireless chargers at $99.95 each. The Kickstand Travel Battery packs 5,000mAh and a fold-out stand. The 2-in-1 Wireless Charging Station has two Qi2 pads, so two phones can charge side by side.
Both work with Android phones as well as iPhones, according to 9to5Google, which tried the battery on a Pixel 11. Neither can be ordered yet, though. As of November 4, Peak Design’s store listed the battery as coming soon and the charging station as out of stock.
Peak Design Qi2 Kickstand Travel Battery: 25W only on wall power
The battery uses Qi2 magnetic charging, listed as Qi2.3 on Peak Design’s spec sheet. Its 25W headline figure comes with a condition. You only get 25W when the battery is plugged into wall power and passing charge through to the phone.
Running off its own cells, it tops out at 15W. In practice, it is a regular-speed Qi2 power bank on the go, with a faster mode at a desk. The kickstand folds out of the back, so the phone can stand upright while it charges. 9to5Google says the battery sits well on the Pixel 11.
Wireless Charging Station: budget for the adapter
The 2-in-1 station puts one pad on a raised arm above a second, flat pad. Peak Design rates each pad at up to 25W under the Qi2.2 standard. It says both pads are full Qi2 chargers, so two phones can fast-charge at the same time. 9to5Google adds that the station has a USB-C output for charging a third device.
There is a power catch. Full speed on both pads needs a wall adapter and cable rated at 75W or more. Peak Design says a 60W-plus adapter still charges quickly, and 45W is the minimum. According to 9to5Google, the box includes a 100W cable but no adapter.
So $99.95 is not the full cost of dual full-speed charging. If your current charger is under 60W, plan on buying a new one too. Peak Design’s superlatives about pad speed are marketing until independent reviews test them. We ran into the same adapter-wattage problem with the iPhone 18 Pro’s fast-charging requirements.
What Android owners should check first
Full-speed Qi2 magnetic charging depends on the phone. Many Android phones have no built-in magnets and need a magnetic case to snap onto either charger. Some newer models, like the Motorola Edge 70 Max, ship with Qi2 magnets built in. Check your phone’s Qi2 support before counting on the 25W figures.
Pricing and Availability
The Kickstand Travel Battery and the Wireless Charging Station are each priced at $99.95. Peak Design’s global store lists both in US dollars. The battery comes in Black and Moon.
Neither product page showed a ship date when we checked on November 4. Both pages offer notify-me sign-ups instead. Our advice is to wait for reviews and a firm ship date before committing, especially for the station.
The two chargers sit in a wider charging lineup. It also includes a 65W Dual Slim Charger, UltraStrand cables and a $79.95 wireless charging stand. 9to5Google lists the Dual Slim Charger at $64.95. It reports that only one port delivers 65W. With both ports in use, output splits to 30W/30W or 45W/20W.
