Peak Design, known for its durable backpacks and tripods, is entering the charging market with high‑end accessories that aim to outperform rivals like Anker and Belkin. Founder and CEO Peter Dering says the goal is to demonstrate how everyday chargers can be improved through premium materials and clever design. The lineup includes the $100 wireless Kickstand Travel Battery, the first Qi2.3‑certified pad, which is 10.5mm thin, packs 5,000mAh, and delivers 15W wireless power while offering a foldable stand for portrait/landscape mounting.
Also at $100 is a 2‑1 wireless charging station built from die‑cast aluminum and zinc, featuring dual Qi 2.2 pads that peak at 25W each, a 5V USB‑C port for smaller gadgets, and a compact fold‑flat design. The $65 Dual Slim Charger uses GaN to provide up to 65W across two USB‑C ports, with a half‑inch thin profile and fold‑flat prongs. Complementary Ultra Strand cables start at $25 for 60W and go up to $40 for 240W, each with an integrated clip and a lifetime guarantee.
All products are available now on peakdesign.com and select retailers, with global availability slated for mid‑November.
