Aukey has introduced a brand new modular charging resolution referred to as the MagFusion Ark. It combines a base station that includes as much as three Qi2.2 charging pads with spherical energy banks that every have their very own Qi2.2-compatible pads. The spheres assist passthrough charging and might wirelessly cost one other gadget whereas they’re on the bottom station, however they may also be eliminated and used as standalone wi-fi chargers powered by both their 6,700mAh battery or a USB-C port.
Pricing will likely be introduced nearer to the MagFusion Ark’s launch in Q1 of 2026, however it will likely be obtainable in three completely different configurations: a bundle that features a base with three pads and three spheres, in addition to one- and two-pad bases with the spheres offered individually. The Ark is fully Qi2.2-compatible, and each the bottom and spheres will wirelessly cost Qi2.2 gadgets at charges as much as 25W.
On battery energy alone, the variety of instances that the spheres can be utilized to totally recharge a tool like a smartphone will depend upon the capability and well being of that gadget’s personal battery. However given the battery within the spheres can also be used to energy a cooling fan, you’ll be able to in all probability count on to get at the least one full smartphone cost out of them, or a handful of top-ups.
Every sphere additionally encompasses a 30W USB-C port. You need to use it to maximise the sphere’s battery capability by sidestepping the inefficiencies of wi-fi charging, cost gadgets that aren’t Qi2-compatible, and even hold the sphere plugged in to make use of as a charging stand. You can even cost two gadgets concurrently from every sphere — one from the USB-C port and one from the Qi2 pad— however wi-fi charging charges drop to 15W whereas the USB-C port’s output drops to 20W.
Though Aukey says the MagFusion Ark provides a “complete of six charging factors,” you’ll solely be capable of wirelessly cost three gadgets at a time on the bottom station, excluding the spheres. When the spheres are every getting used independently to cost different gadgets, that then frees up the pads on the bottom for different gadgets. That’s a bit limiting given the comparatively giant footprint of the Ark’s base, however the added flexibility of with the ability to seize one of many spherical chargers and use it anyplace in your house might be well worth the tradeoff.
