Aukey has introduced a brand new modular charging answer 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 may 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 shall be introduced nearer to the MagFusion Ark’s launch in Q1 of 2026, however will probably be accessible in three totally 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 bought individually. The Ark is totally 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 completely 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 be used to energy a cooling fan, you possibly can in all probability anticipate to get at the very least one full smartphone cost out of them, or a handful of top-ups.
Every sphere additionally includes 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 preserve the sphere plugged in to make use of as a charging stand. You too can 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 presents 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 massive 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 may very well be definitely worth the tradeoff.
