Whether you're navigating a long flight, recording your child’s soccer game or need a charge on the go, keeping your USB-powered devices charged is a constant. Fortunately, there are a lot of new, cool accessories to help you charge at home, work or play. Choosing the right one comes down to understanding capacity, charging speed and the ports that best match your gear.

ESR’s portable fast charger for Apple Watch ($26.55) is a simple device that's one of the smallest yet most efficient chargers. It’s a cable-free, compact magnetic charging puck designed exclusively for the Apple Watch. There is a USB-C connection built into the side to plug directly into a power source (power adapter, laptop, portable power bank, etc.) for charging.

The ESR watch charger is Apple certified, with an Apple-certified magnetic charging module for safe charging of all models. Fast charging is supported when it's plugged into a source that supports power delivery. There’s no battery; it just needs to be connected to a power source.

If you're entrenched in the Apple ecosystem, the 25-watt ESR Cryoboost 3-in-1 Magnetic Charging Station ($99.99) is an all-in-one charger that replaces your multi-cable setup with one simple desktop device to charge three devices simultaneously.

A front-facing 15-watt magnetic charger holds an iPhone or other smartphones with MagSafe charging. On the back is a fold-out 5-watt fast-charging puck for Apple Watches, and the bottom has a wireless charging pad for AirPods or other Qi-charging earbuds.

As stated on the ESR website, the 3-in-1 Magnetic Charging Station is compatible with MagSafe-compatible iPhones, AirPods with wireless charging cases, all Apple Watch models, official MagSafe cases and ESR magnetic cases. While it’s perfect for Apple devices, other devices can join in as well. MagSafe-compatible phones and cases, along with other wireless earbuds, will charge.

ESR’s Cryoboost Foldable 3-in-1 Magnetic Charging Station ($99.99) is also designed to charge three Apple devices simultaneously with Qi2 25W magnetic charging. But what makes it different is the portability. When it's not in use, it folds flat for easy packing.

Like the 3-in-1 Magnetic Charging Station, all you do is connect a single USB-C power source to charge an iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods. Once powered, you’ll get 25 watts of charging power for the three devices. A built-in fan with CryoBoost active cooling prevents your devices from overheating while charging.

The folding design allows a smartphone to be attached on the front for Qi2 charging in either portrait or landscape orientation. The watch puck and earbuds charging pad fold out and charge behind the smartphone.

Cuktech’s ultra-slim 15 Air Power Bank ($71.99) is a powerful 15,000 mAh rechargeable battery that delivers 100 watts of intelligent power distribution.

The pocket-sized battery charges safely with GaN and silicon-carbon cell technology to ensure fast, safe charging. It charges up to three USB devices at once with its single USB-A port and two USB-C ports. Tablets and laptops can charge with a 65W USB-C fast charging output.

On the side is a built-in TFT color display to show battery level, input and output power, and estimated recharge time. Built-in thermal management ensures safe and reliable charging.

The CP13 Qi2 Certified 15W Magnetic Power Bank ($49.99) has 10,000 mAh of portable power and easily fits in your pocket. It’s built with a foldable metal stand, perfect for hands-free charging with your device front-facing. The Qi2 15W magnetic fast-charging stand is rated to give an iPhone 17 1.7 charges.

A heat-resistant Apple-Grade Liquid Silicone Magnetic Surface surrounds the exterior for a secure grip of the 7.75-ounce battery. A single USB‑C port supports 30W two-way fast charging with power delivery input and output.

According to Cuktech, the battery has an advanced safety shield that incorporates nine layers of protection, including temperature protection, short-circuit protection, input and output overcurrent protection, input and output over-voltage protection, overcharge and over-discharge protection, and reset protection. Smart sensors monitor temperature 36,000 times per hour to maintain safe operation during fast charging.
