Peak Design, renowned for its versatile backpacks and travel bags, has unveiled an expanded line of wireless charging accessories, emphasizing the fusion of high-quality materials and advanced functionality. Peak Design's CEO and founder, Peter Dering, expressed a shift in perspective, stating, "Somewhere along the way, we accepted that the electronics we use every day should be cheap, disposable and just good enough." This new collection aims to challenge that notion.
At the forefront is the $99.95 Wireless Kickstand Travel Battery, available in a sleek black or moon (cream) finish. This battery houses a 5,000mAh battery within a magnetic, aluminum housing equipped with a folding kickstand. Positioned as the "world’s first Qi2.3-certified wireless charger," it boasts the capability to wirelessly charge devices at 25W when connected to a USB power source—a feat typically only seen in higher-capacity batteries. On battery power alone, it manages a maximum wireless charging speed of 15W.
The $99.95 Wireless Charging Station 2-in-1 complements this lineup. This accessory, also available in the same color options, features two 25W wireless charging pads that can operate concurrently at full power. The base is made from die-cast aluminum and zinc, while the second pad, mounted on an adjustable arm, folds flat for convenient travel.
Additionally, Peak Design has introduced the Dual Slim Charger for $64.95. Despite its slim profile of just a half-inch, this charger delivers up to 65W of power via GaN technology in a pair of USB-C ports. Coupled with a range of new USB-C UltraStrand Cables priced between $24.95 and $39.95, these cables come in lengths from 15 centimeters to 2 meters.
The 60W / 480Mbps version caters to most needs, while the 240W / 40Gbps option caters to high-demand scenarios. Most of these new chargers and accessories are now available, with the Wireless Kickstand Travel Battery and specific UltraStrand cable lengths rolling out a few days later on November 5th.
