If you are tired of sorting through a mess of wires and adaptors every time you need to charge your devices, the Belkin BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Charging Travel Pad with Qi2 15W could just be the device you need. After using it for a week during travel and daily routines, here's my take on its capabilities. Three devices, one pad - Belkin BoostCharge Pro keeps your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods powered up at home or away
Design and portability
This pad folds down to the size of a thick wallet, so it fits easily into a laptop bag or even a jacket pocket. The included travel case keeps everything together, which means no more searching for the right cable at the bottom of a bag if you're always in a hurry with no time to organise. The rubberised finish feels sturdy and gives a good grip, though it does pick up a bit of dust in humid places.
Charging three devices at once, iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods, is where this pad really shines. With older chargers, there was always a choice to make about which device to charge first or a mess of wires on the bedside table. Here, just unfold the pad, place each device on its spot and the magnets do the rest. The magnetic alignment, thanks to Qi2 technology, means the iPhone snaps into place and charges reliably, so there is no waking up to a phone that barely charged because it slipped off the pad.
Belkin review.
Qi2 technology in action
Qi2 is not just a new label, it can juice your devices faster. The pad delivers up to 15W fast wireless charging for iPhones, except the mini models which top out at 12W. In practice, charging an iPhone 15 from 50% to 80% in just over 20 minutes is a big help when you need a quick boost before heading out. The magnets make sure the phone is always in the right spot, so there is no fiddling.
The Apple Watch charging spot supports fast charging for recent models, so getting from zero to 80% in about 45 minutes is easy. This is enough for a full day after a quick morning charge. The AirPods section is straightforward, with an LED indicator to show when charging is active. Dropping all devices onto one pad and knowing they will be ready to go makes life easier, whether at home or in a hotel.
Portability, heat management, and safety
Packing for a trip is lighter now. Instead of three separate chargers and adaptors, just take the pad, the included 1.5m USB-C cable and the 36W adaptor. A different version even comes with international plug tips, which helps if you travel abroad. The pad's shape means it does not take up much space and the travel case keeps everything organised.
Older wireless chargers often got warm, especially with more than one device charging. With the BoostCharge Pro, even with all three spots in use, the pad stays cool to the touch. This gives confidence to leave devices charging overnight, knowing the built-in protections will prevent overheating or overcharging.
The main drawback is the price, around ₹18,000. This is a significant investment and is best for those who use iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods daily. While some Samsung models work with a compatible case, the experience is clearly made for Apple users. If you only need to charge one or two devices, the cost might be harder to justify.
Everyday value
The biggest change is how much smoother the daily routine becomes. Packing for a trip or setting up for the night, there is no untangling of cables or worrying about devices not charging properly. The pad's design and Qi2 technology remove small but persistent annoyances, making charging feel like a background task.
Belkin BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 could make your life easier, tidier and more efficient. For frequent travellers or anyone who wants a clutter-free bedside table, this pad is a worthwhile upgrade that genuinely improves how you power your devices.
