We love the convenience of wireless charging, removing all the hassle of fiddling around with proprietary ports and cables. But the idea of being able to simply throw down your phone on to a wireless charger and get from zero to 100 percent in just a short while hasn’t always been realistic.
That’s partly because your phone and charger must be correctly aligned to get the fastest, most efficient wireless charging. Only devices with support for magnetic alignment through Qi2 or MagSafe can automatically snap and lock into place.
It’s also because unwanted heat can play havoc with wireless charging performance. Remember that energy wasted generating heat is energy that ultimately isn’t making it into your battery. Excess heat can also damage that battery, so anything that can be done to reduce the temperature is well worth your consideration.
ESR’s trio of fully certified MagSafe- and Qi2-compatible wireless charging accessories can solve both these problems – at home, out and about, and even in your car. Their integrated CryoBoost v2 technology is an ultra-silent, ultra-cooling system that can reduce the temperature of your iPhone by as much as 5.5 degrees when compared to rival brands.
Lower temperatures allow your device to charge significantly faster, more safely, and at a fraction of the price of Apple’s own charging accessories.
ESR 3-in-1 MagSafe Charger with Qi2 and CryoBoost
For the Apple user with multiple devices, the 3-in-1 MagSafe Charger lets you charge iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods all at once.
With its precision-engineered advanced cooling fan running at less than 25dB (that’s less than a whisper from 5ft away), it’s ideal for juicing up your devices overnight by the side of your bed, or even during the day in the office, with no fear of distracting noise.
A parabolic duct design maximises airflow, keeping both the charger and your attached devices cool, while reducing hazardous heat and condensation build up that could otherwise damage your battery.
Capable of delivering 15W of power, this Apple-certified ESR charging stand is speedy, too. Expect iPhone 15 Pro Max to get a full charge in just two hours – that’s 30 minutes faster than with comparable chargers. And Apple Watch Series 9 could get to 75% in 70 minutes, shaving 50 minutes off the worktime of rival devices.
ESR MagSafe Car Charger with Qi2 and CryoBoost
When charging iPhone in the car, security is paramount. No-one wants to be dealing with a phone rocketing out of an open window or lodging itself under the pedals, and especially not while trying to follow a navigation route. Heat can be more problematic than usual, too, with the screen active and the sun beating down on the windscreen.
ESR’s MagSafe Car Charger is notable for its secure 1,600g magnetic grip, achieved using a series of 18 N52 magnets that’ll firmly hold your iPhone in place. You can clip it on to an air vent or secure it to the dash, making it compatible with any brand of vehicle. Whatever the terrain, your iPhone isn’t going anywhere.
You’re not sacrificing performance for security here, since the MagSafe Car Charger delivers the same 15W of power and advanced cooling system as the rest of the ESR CryoBoost range.
Expect iPhone 15 Pro Max to get to 100 percent in just two hours seven minutes – while using GPS! That’s 113 minutes faster than some other Qi2 car chargers, and still 35 minutes faster than those with cooling fans.
ESR Qi2 MagSlim Kickstand Power Bank (5,000mAh)
Featuring a multiple award-winning built-in kickstand design, the Qi2 MagSlim Kickstand Power Bank 5,000mAh is the slimmest Qi2 charger on the market, perfect for space-saving and on-the-go charging.
It makes a great travel companion, securely attaching to iPhone with sturdy 1,200g magnetic force. It’s got 5,000mAh of portable power for a single recharge, which should keep you connected until you’re back near a socket.
For stowing in a pocket or bag, the skinny 15.5mm design is welcome, and around 38% slimmer than comparable devices. The tighter your pocket, you might think the more heat could become an issue, but continuous temperature monitoring keeps your iPhone as much as 20 degrees cooler than with those other power banks.
And it’s still fast: iPhone 15 Pro will hit 84% in two hours 25 minutes.
FAQ
What is CryoBoost?
CryoBoost is an ESR-developed cooling technology, now in its second generation, that combines a precision-engineered advanced cooling fan with parabolic ducts and heat-dissipating components to maximize airflow and cool down devices during wireless charging. In reducing heat, CryoBoost can speed up charging and reduce potential battery damage.
What is MagSafe?
Originally designed as a safety feature for MacBook charging cables, this magnetic technology was later reimagined for iPhone and its accessories, including more recent models of Apple Watch and AirPods.
