Belkin BOOST?CHARGE AC Adapter

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very thankful Belkin sent me this wall charger to review. This is my first fast charger, and to-date have been using the typical usb-c and usb-a wall chargers that come with my Apple products, or the usb-a connectors in the surge protectors. I ran several tests across multiple Apple products and am very happy with the results. - On average, charging my iPad Pro 12.9 was 3.5x faster using the Belkin boost charge versus other methods - While i didn't see it on the 'made for' list on the package, iPad Mini 4 charging was 2.2x faster - iPhone 11 / iPad Pro 10.5 was 1.5x faster - The only product not showing improvement in testing (but also not on the 'made for' list) was the iPad 6th generation. The fast charge time is very impressive, and more importantly, being able to rapidly charge up to 50% in the short time advertised is now something I take advantage of regularly. This is the main charger in our master bedroom now. With two iPads, it is certainly nice to have two ports so they can be charged at the same time. Even though the second port is standard usb-a charge speed, it is very convenient. Before moving to the master bedroom, the charger was plugged into the bottom outlet on the wall and folded flat against it. It is small enough not to obstruct the outlet above it. Now that it is in the bedroom, i am taking advantage of the unfolded mode which allows the charger to stand straight up in the surge protector. We already have a device with a larger plug using the only outlet that supports its size. Being able to unfold the Belkin charger allows use to use any of the other outlets without causing any obstruction. Very nice! This charger is also small enough that it wont be a problem to take with us when traveling. Again, having the two ports there is another bonus! I have many Belkin products, and this is another that i am very satisfied with.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was impressed with how quickly the device charged my iPhone. It increased the charge from 25% to 95% in only 58 minutes! Whereas that would normally take approximately 3 hours. The charging does seem to be nonlinear; it took an additional 15 minutes to go from 95% to 100%. It was also convenient to have a second port to charge another device while the iPhone was charging, though this is a standard port. It is a great device to take while traveling because of both the rapid recharge time and being able to charge two devices simultaneously.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A wall charger should be a simple thing - you plug it in and connect to your device and the device charges. Well, some chargers work better than others and this is one of them. It has 30 W of power, and while I have not measured it directly, I can say that it charges via my Qi disk without issue while at the same time charges my iPhone. Now how can it do both? there is a USB-C (with included lightning cable) as well as USB-A (for most of my other charging needs). While charging, the unit does not get warm as some others do. The form factor is a bit larger than the 10 W Apple adapter, but certainly not 3 times larger. In summary, this does the job. This charger has both USB-C and USB-A for forward compatibility. It also has the power necessary to charge my devices.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a really solid charger. The case is so solid it appears you could throw it against a wall and it would not be damaged. It has two charging circuits. One is a standard USB-A connection (rated at 12 watts) that charged my iPhone from 65% to 100% in less than an hour. The other circuit, which requires using the included cable as it uses a USB-C connection, has an even higher power level at 18 watts. This circuit charged my iPad from 52% to 100% in a little over an hour. The charger had a barely perceptible rise in temperature when charging the iPad. There was no perceptible rise in temperature when charging my iPhone. The charger plug can rotated 90 degrees. It can protrude in line with the charger or at 90 degrees to the case, to give you flexibility in your connection. The only weakness in the design is that the plugs can not folded into the body, which would be desirable when packing it for travel. Even though this charge has a lot of power, it is still fairly small in size (approximately 2 3/4" long x 1 5/8" wide x 1 1/16" deep). Overall I am very impressed with this charger. If the plugs folded into the body, it would totally perfect.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this a couple weeks ago. I've used it to charge my iPhone 8, apple airpods, and iPad mini. I was receiving approximately 12% charge every 10 min regardless of device. I also like the versatility of being able to use it to charge miniUSB. I'll be trying it with my mophi wireless charger next. Definitely recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this about 3 weeks ago and I have been impressed with its power output and its ability to “convert” to fit your application. If you have a wall-wart that takes up a lot of space around the plug or a power strip that has limited space, you can rotate the prongs to fit the Application and it will fit where others might not. Charging an IPad Pro, it would easily supply the 2+ amps drawn by the device. You will find that it can supply more if the device is fully discharged. My son seems to have appropriated it from me to charge all of his devices and left me with his wimpy devices.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a good little charger, with the convenience of both a USB A and C port. It did a fine job charging my iPad quickly, and I like its small size. The prongs fold through 90 degrees, which is handy, but it would be so much better if they folded another 90 degrees to stow within the housing. As it is, I will use this around the house and use a sleeker charger as the one I carry in my bag.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pro's -Adaptable orientation, flat or perpendicular depending on socket space and location. -Included USB-C to Lightning cable is useful and and valuable. -Slim proportions fit well in small pockets. -Belkin stands behind their products-their warranty actually works. Con's -The USB-C socket is limited to 18W even when the USB-A plug is unused. Total output is 30W, but it can't shifted from individual socket limits (USB-A/C 12W/18W). Thus I can t charge my iPad Pro at the full 30W rate. -A black color option would be preferred to the white color.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this charger for a few weeks now and I am extremely pleased. It charges my iPhone X and my wife's iPhone 8 just as advertised. My actual experience was from 40% charged to 65% charged in 30 minutes and 75% in 36 minutes. I would have given an over all rating of 5, but my iPad Mini 2 (yes older) with current software took 3 1/2 hours to charge from 0% to 73% and the iPad was very hot to the touch. I had the exact same experience with my wife's iPad Mini 2. They don't get hot with a standard charger. I love the adjustable plug. Makes it easy to put on wall socket. Bottom line, I'm very pleased with the fast charging capability and would recommend it for anyone needing a fast charge!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great charger. 30 watts is quite an upgrade from the 5 watt and 18 watt that came with the device. 4 stars only because I do not have a use for the usb a port.
