Peak Design already sells Qi2 charging stands and car mounts for its magnetic iPhone cases. Now, it’s completing the lineup by launching four new products.
This includes a Qi2.3 magnetic power bank with a built-in kickstand, a 65W GaN wall charger, a folding 2-in-1 charging station and braided USB-C cables.
Meet the world’s first Qi2.3 power bank
The Wireless Kickstand Travel Battery is the star of the show. It’s the world’s first Qi2.3-certified power bank. Unfortunately, this does not bring a jump in charging speed, though. The power output still tops out at 25W, but there’s a catch.
The 5,000mAh cell inside the 10.5mm-thick chassis outputs 15W of power wirelessly. The speed jumps to 25 W only when the power bank is plugged into the wall.
A side USB-C port handles input and output, and pass-through lets it charge your phone and itself at the same time.
The Wireless Kickstand Travel Battery from Peak Design comes in Black and Moon shades and retails for $99.95.

Peak Design is also unveiling its 2-in-1 wireless charging station today. It features two Qi2.2 magnetic pads, each capable of delivering up to 25W, even when both are in use.
A USB-C port on the side can power a third device, but it only puts out 7.5W (5V/1.5A). That’s still more than enough to juice up AirPods or Apple Watch.
The aluminum arm hinges to any angle in portrait or landscape, and the whole thing folds flat for travel.
The Wireless Charging Station 2-in-1 costs $99.95 and comes in Black and Moon (cream). Peak Design includes a 1.5m 100W USB-C cable but no power adapter. To get the full 25W from both pads, the company recommends a 75W or higher wall adapter.

Rounding out the lineup are the Dual Slim Charger and Ultrastrand cables.
The Dual Slim Charger is a 65W GaN wall adapter with two USB-C ports, packed into a 0.5-inch-thick housing.
A single port gets the full 65W. With two devices plugged in, the charger splits power 30W/30W or 45W/20W. It costs $64.95 and comes only in black.
The braided Ultrastrand cables come in two tiers. The Everyday version handles 60W charging and USB 2.0 data speeds, and costs $24.95 for 1m, $29.95 for 2m, or $29.95 for a pair of 15cm cables.
The Pro version goes up to 240W and 40Gbps, with Thunderbolt 3/4, USB4 and DisplayPort support for displays up to 8K at 60Hz. It costs $29.95 for 15cm or $39.95 for 1m. Both tiers have aluminum connectors, a built-in cable clip and Peak Design’s lifetime guarantee.
