As we survey the charging accessory market in 2025, it’s clear that many brands are offering similar products, with flagship options like 3-in-1 chargers, 140W wall adapters, and MagSafe charging bricks dominating the scene. I wanted to draw attention to some standout products that have introduced innovative features to a category that has felt somewhat stagnant. Which ones pique your interest?
Don’t forget to take a look at the hands-on video below to see all these accessories in action!
I previously published a detailed review of these products, but I’ll focus on the key features that distinguish these MagSafe battery banks from the competition. Here are their specifications:
- 5000mAh power bank
- Qi2 15W magnetic charging
- 20W wired output and input
- iOS widget integration
- Frosted glass design
The principal difference between the Kuxiu K1 and Kuxiu S1 is that the K1 uniquely twists open to reveal a 5W Apple Watch charger along with a kickstand. Conversely, the Kuxiu S1 serves a single function but incorporates cutting-edge solid-state battery technology. Both models offer a fantastic feature: they integrate with the iOS battery widget, meaning you can view the battery status on your iPhone when connected via MagSafe!
The Kuxiu K1 is priced at $69, while the Kuxiu S1 is available for $79. Both models come in black and a natural titanium finish.
Earlier this month, Nomad launched an innovative Universal Cable. Initially, I was doubtful about its utility, but I’ve found it to be essential for my daily carry. Despite being just a cable, it cleverly allows for charging two devices simultaneously, with the Apple Watch charger also functioning as a wireless charger for my AirPods Pro!
Here are the primary specifications:
- 100W USB-C PD Charging Cable
- Quickly charges iPhone, iPad, and MacBook
- Integrated Apple Watch Fast Charger
- Bi-directional charging
- Available in 0.3m, 1.5m & 3m lengths with a Kevlar exterior and electroplated metal connectors
- Built-in cable tie for organized storage
The first impression of this cable was its high-quality construction. The Kevlar material enhances its durability, while the Apple Watch charger puck demonstrates similar quality. A standout feature is its reversible design—plugging in from either side defaults to the power source providing the highest output. For example, connecting one end to an iPhone can charge the Apple Watch, and plugging the opposite end into a MacBook or wall charger will charge both devices! Brilliant!
The Universal Cable retails for $100, with the 1.5m version currently available in stock.
This product truly impressed me due to its versatility. It resembles the standard charging brick provided with a MacBook Pro, yet it offers significantly more functionality.
Here’s a rundown of its specifications:
- 65W maximum charging speed
- 2 USB-C ports
- 1 USB-A port
- Qi2 wireless charging capability
- 10,500mAh built-in battery
- LCD screen for real-time diagnostics including charge speed, charger temperature, and battery level
What’s more, you can charge three devices simultaneously while plugged in, fast-wirelessly charge your iPhone, and use the built-in battery. Its folding prongs allow you to plug it into any AC outlet, charging both the battery bank and the devices connected to it.
This charger is currently priced at $74 on Amazon, plus there’s an additional 5% coupon available for an extra discount. It’s perfect for daily carrying!

If you’re seeking a more powerful yet portable option, the Ark Pro is worthy of your consideration. Its design is perfect for travel, and it even includes a cable that acts as a lanyard, ensuring it never gets misplaced while providing instant access to a USB-C cable.
