If there is one universal truth about technology, it's that running out of battery is the absolute worst. Belkin has been making quality device chargers and portable power solutions for years.
At CES 2026, they did reveal many new ways to keep your phone's battery topped up, but moreso than any year, they've revealed several new accessories that could find their way into your laptop bag, home office setup, or even gaming station!
Belkin powers's up the Nintendo Switch 2
Last year, Belkin introduced their first gaming accesory - a set of cases for the Switch/Switch 2. This year, they're refining the case design with what could be the ultimate solution for gamers who want to protect their system and not run out of battery.
Belkin's new Charging Case Pro for Nintendo Switch 2 provices portable protection when you're travelling with you system and a power solution anywhere:
Integrated Power Bank: It comes with a removable 10,000mAh battery. In plain English, that's enough juice to fast-charge your Switch while you play.
Tabletop Mode: The power bank has a hinged design, meaning it doubles as a kickstand. You can prop up the console and play comfortably without holding it.
Hidden Storage: There is a dedicated spot for game cards and even a hidden compartment for a smart tracker (like an AirTag) so you never lose your gear.
Release Date/Cost: Exact Canadian pricing wasn't availble at reveal, but it's slated to be $99 USD and is supposed to be available "soon."
Faster Wireless Charging with Qi2
If you haven't heard of Qi2 yet, it's the new (as of two-ish years ago) standard for wireless charging that uses magnets to snap your phone into the perfect spot—kind of like Apple's MagSafe, but for everyone.
As expected, Belkin has announced a few different portable power solutions, some using Qi2, otherws designed for a variety of gadgets, not just your smartphone:
UltraCharge Pro Power Bank 10K w/ Magnetic Ring
This is gonna be super handy to keep in your purse or backpack for daily use. It's a Qi2 charger that can fit in your pocket, magnetically attach to your phone to add battery power (and a kickstand) and allows you to charge a second device using the USB C port.
The battery is 10,00 mAh hours, which, depending on your phone, can give you a full charge or maybe even two. Canadian pricing not listed, but it's $99 USD and coming in February 2026.
UltraCharge Pro Laptop Power Bank 27K
Belkin loves a slightly confusing name, but think of this as the laptop version of the charger I just mentioned. It 240W total power (plenty for a powerful laptop like a MacBook Pro) and has a whopping 27,000 mAh battery (that's big, your laptop won't die on a long flight). Plus it has a built-in cable to make charging easiser.
Again no Canadian pricing, but listed at $149 USD and coming in March. This can also be used to charge your Switch 2 or iPhone or tablet or any other combination of 3 devices simultaneously.
BoostCharge Slim Magnetic Power Bank with Stand
This is a more basic but skinny charger. It provices 25 hours of battery life, gives you a built-in kickstand (great for watching movies on planes) and can charge via the wireless charging pad or USB C.
It's coming later in 2026 and is listed between $59 and $84 USD (there's two models)
UltraCharge Pro 2-in-1 Convertible Charger
This one is super cool! While Belkin already has many options for charging your iPhone and Apple Watch, this one is designed for travellers. It's very small when folded up. And it comes with a decently long cable (5 ft) so it can actually reach a plug in a hotel room.
It's coming in March and is listed at $99 USD.
UltraCharge Modular Charging Dock
Another Qi2 compatible option if you want to maximize charging speed for multiple devices, the Ultra Charge Modular Charging Dock is a great gadget for power users. You can charge 3 devices at once (using the charging puck that came with your Apple watch - no puck included).
This is a nice option if you want prettier cable management or display aesthetics for your bedside table (or wherever you keep your phone when you need a break). This is coming in the first few months of 2026 and is listed at $65 USD.
Connect Air Wireless HDMI Display Adapter
This is a little more niche, but if you frequently find yourself presenting for work or meetings, this could be a super handy solution to keep in your laptop bag. It's a dongle that allows for ultra-low latency (less than 80ms) streaming from your laptop to projectors, TVs, etc.
It comes with a SUB A to HDMI receiver and a USB-C transmitter (so compatibility is less likely a barrier). This is also supposed to be available in the first few months of 2026 with a USD price tag of $149.
Connect 8-Port Dual Display USB-C Hub
If you're working on a modern laptop, you probably know the pain of not having enough ports. The new Connect 8-Port Dual Display USB-C Hub fixes that by turning a single USB-C slot into a massive workstation.
It lets you connect up to eight devices at once (monitors, hard drives, and internet cable) without turning your desk into a mess of dongles.
There's also a privacy button. This is a cool unique feature providing a physical button that instantly turns off your external screens just in case your boss saunters dangerously close to your desk while you're browsing job postings at a competing company.
This is listed as coming in the second quarter of 2026 with a price tag of $99.
Availability Note
If I had a dolar for every product I've seen at CES that had an intended launch window and either came out later or not at all, I'd be able to fund my next concert at the Sphere. So, just like all other tech I'm covering for CES, I'll flag that while most of these gadgets are listed to be rolling out between now and March 2026, with the USB-C Hub arriving a little later in Q2, let's take it all with a grain of salt.
That said, I'm quite pumped for this new Switch 2 case and I think the 8 port hub could also be great! Belkin makes solid products, so they've been a go-to for me for years. Anything catch your eye? Reach out on Instagram (@drewkozub) to share your thoughts!
