Belkin recently announced that it has received official Qi2 25W certification from the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) for its upcoming products. As one of the first accessory brands to deliver Qi2 25W-certified devices, Belkin is helping bring the next generation of wireless charging to market, enabling faster wireless charging speeds, broader compatibility, and improved performance for consumers.
Belkin’s close partnership with the WPC since 2015 has been instrumental in bringing these advancements to consumers. As an early adopter and long-time contributor to WPC standards, Belkin was selected as one of a small group of trusted manufacturers to test and certify Qi2 25W products ahead of the broader industry rollout.
All Belkin products undergo rigorous safety, quality, and performance testing. The company’s global headquarters includes WPC-certified test equipment and state-of-the-art test labs dedicated to full product lifecycle validation, ranging from mechanical and environmental assessments to real-world performance evaluations. Additional testing is conducted in Belkin’s engineering hubs in China and Taiwan. Every Qi2 25W-certified product is backed by Belkin’s industry-leading warranty and customer support.
In the coming months, Belkin will roll out several Qi2 25W-certified products designed to support a wide range of devices. These chargers will deliver 5x faster charging speeds* while maintaining Belkin’s signature commitment to safety, reliability, and design.
“Belkin has a long history of shaping industry standards alongside trusted organizations like the Wireless Power Consortium and USB-IF,” said Brian Van Harlingen, Chief Technology Officer at Belkin. “Securing first-mover Qi2 25W certification is another proud moment in that legacy – cementing our role in defining what fast and universal wireless charging will look like for the next generation of devices.”
Qi2 25W is the latest standard from the WPC, building on the Qi2 magnetic power profile introduced in 2023. It is expected to enable charging speeds up to 25W and expand wireless charging to new device categories. Like its predecessor, Qi2 25W features intelligent magnetic alignment for a safer, more reliable connection, while remaining backward-compatible with older Qi devices. It also includes advanced safety enhancements to protect device batteries and ensure consistent performance.
