The Belkin UltraCharge 3-in-1 is a foldable Qi2 charging station that simultaneously charges an iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods. Thanks to its compact design and included 45-watt power adapter, it's suitable for both home and travel. We tested the 3-in-1 charging station in everyday use and examined how well it performs as a complete charging solution for Apple users.

Features: Qi2 with 25 watts and "ChillBoost" cooling

The UltraCharge supports the Qi2 standard and delivers a charging power of up to 25 watts for compatible iPhones from the iPhone 16 series onwards. Other Qi2- or MagSafe-enabled devices charge at up to 15 watts, including the Apple Watch. proStarting with Series 7, it supports fast charging; AirPods and other Qi charging cases receive up to 5 watts wirelessly. According to Belkin, a compatible iPhone can be charged from 0 to 50 percent in 29 minutes, and an Apple Watch Series 10 from 0 to 80 percent in 30 minutes. In everyday use, this speed is largely confirmed, although, as with any wireless charger, the exact charging time also depends on the device itself and the ambient temperature.

To prevent the three devices from overheating while charging simultaneously, Belkin uses its proprietary "ChillBoost" technology, a passive cooling system without a fan. In testing, the iPhone remained pleasantly cool, never exceeding lukewarm temperatures. This is further ensured by Belkin's SmartProtect monitoring, which keeps track of temperature, current, and voltage, and reduces the charging power as needed based on temperature to prevent overcharging and overvoltage.

Design and workmanship in everyday life

When folded, the UltraCharge is small enough to disappear into any travel bag, turning virtually any surface into a charging station. When unfolded, all three charging surfaces can be used simultaneously, with the Apple Watch charging pad extending only when needed. The angle of the iPhone charging pad is adjustable, allowing the smartphone to be positioned in both portrait and landscape orientations, for example, for video calls or as a standby display. A slightly steeper angle would be preferable, but this is due to the design's stability and the hinge mechanism.

The charging surface is slightly rubberized to prevent the iPhone from slipping, and the base of the station features non-slip strips that ensure a secure grip even on smooth tables. The magnet reliably holds the iPhone in place, even with most phone cases. The only minor drawback of the rubberized surface is that it attracts dust, similar to liquid silicone cases. Overall, however, the UltraCharge makes a high-quality and robust impression, aided by its sturdy hinge.

One practical criticism concerns the combination of Apple Watch and AirPods: Those wearing a long wristband will find it a bit fiddly to charge the AirPods simultaneously, as the band gets in the way of the charging pad. However, for all other configurations, the overall impression remains convincing.

Scope of delivery, sustainability and warranty

Included in the box are a 45-watt USB-C power adapter and a 1,5-meter USB-C to USB-C cable, so there's no need to buy a separate power adapter. The power adapter is compact enough for a travel bag, yet powerful enough to charge a MacBook simultaneously, which is a real bonus. Belkin also manufactures the UltraCharge from up to 85 percent post-consumer recycled materials, which is equivalent to recycling the equivalent of about six plastic bottles. pro The charging station is compatible, and the packaging is completely plastic-free. Belkin offers a two-year manufacturer's warranty on the device, as well as device protection covering repair or replacement of connected devices up to €2.000.

Price, availability and conclusion

The Belkin UltraCharge 3-in-1 costs €89,99 and is available in either a square or round design, as well as in black and white, from retailers including Belkin and Amazon. Those without an Apple Watch can opt for the smaller UltraCharge 2-in-1 model, which offers the same charging power without the Apple Watch charging slot.

In summary, the UltraCharge 3-in-1 is a well-designed, solidly built charging station for anyone using an iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods within the Apple ecosystem. The charging performance is impressive, the included power adapter is a real plus, and even the minor inconvenience with long watch bands when charging AirPods hardly detracts from the overall very positive impression.
