Qi2 Magnetic Charging, Explained Simply

2026-07-05 · EKR

Wireless charging used to be slow and fussy: miss the sweet spot by a centimeter and you woke up to a dead phone. Qi2 fixes that with magnets.

Magnets change everything

Qi2 borrows Apple's MagSafe magnet ring and makes it an open standard. The charger snaps into perfect alignment every single time, so you get the full 15W with less heat and no wasted energy.

One standard for everyone

Because Qi2 is managed by the Wireless Power Consortium, the same charger works on iPhone and on Qi2-ready Android phones. Buy once, use with everything.

What to look for

  • Qi2 certification — the logo means the device passed real interoperability tests. Our WS-Q006LF power bank and CBT-30Q stand are certified.
  • 15W output — the full Qi2 speed, not the old 7.5W.
  • A stand helps — models like the CBT-30Q charge your phone, watch and earbuds together on the desk.

Qi2 is the first wireless charging tech we recommend without an asterisk. Browse our Qi2 collection in the shop.
