Wireless Chargers

Wireless charging is worse than wired in pretty much every way. It is slow, hot, and inefficient. Unless you really hate cables, wireless charging isn’t for you. (also note that wireless charging pucks have a wire anyways, I have no idea why anyone uses those!)

Plenty of brands make wireless chargers, just check that it is either Qi (7.5W, open standard), MagSafe (15W w/ magnets for iPhones), or Qi2 (15W w/ magnets, open standard).

Note that aside from the HMD Skyline, there is very little truly Qi2 Android phones. Phones like the OnePlus 13 and the Galaxy S25 series are “Qi2 Ready”, meaning they support 15W speeds but do not natively support the magnetic alignment. This means they need a separate magnetic case.

Many brands also offer proprietary >=50W wireless chargers (e.g. AirVOOC, HyperCharge), which is much faster than any Qi2 or MagSafe charger!

Plug Adapters

  • travel adapter set: Ceptics ($10)
  • universal travel adapter: Epicka ($24 $22)

Camera Battery Chargers

  • triple charger + SD card slots: Jupio Tri-Charge ($129)
    • Sony / Canon / Nikon / Fuji / Panasonic Lumix
  • for Sony NP-FZ100 + NP-FW50 + NP-BX1 batteries: ISDT NP2 ($39) or NP2 Air ($29)
  • for Canon LP-E6 + LP-E12 + LP-E17 batteries: ISDT LP2 Air ($28)
  • for Fujifilm NP-W126 + NP-W126S batteries: Nitecore FX1 ($29) or FX3 ($34)
  • fast-charging: Llano ($ depends on battery type, around $29-59)
    • Sony / Canon / Nikon / Fuji / GoPro

The ISDT NP2 is much larger than the Air, but includes a screen with charging stats. Both have the ability to check these stats using an app. The NP2 Air is also $10 cheaper. The LP2 Air is basically the NP2 Air but for Canon batteries.

First-party camera battery chargers are expensive, but are a safer option if you are concerned with third-party chargers.
