Belkin BoostCharge Wireless Charging Pad 15W vs Anker PowerWave Wireless Charging Pad

The Belkin BoostCharge is the stronger pick for most people: it charges Qi2 phones at up to 15W, ships with a USB-C cable, and carries a 2-year warranty with connected-equipment coverage. The Anker PowerWave tops out at 10W, uses an older Micro USB input, and suits older iPhones and basic Qi phones. Owners of the Belkin say it hits its rated speed, though some Samsung S24 Ultra users report slow charging. Neither is a travel charger for laptops; both are desk pads.

  • Choose the Belkin BoostCharge if you have a Qi2 or recent iPhone and want the fastest wireless charging this pair offers, a USB-C cable in the box, and a longer warranty.
  • Choose the Anker PowerWave if you have an older Qi phone or iPhone that caps at 7.5W or 10W and want a simple, proven pad with a long attached cable.

Prices

  • Belkin BoostCharge Wireless Charging Pad 15W: $17.99 at Best Buy (last seen Nov 2)
  • Anker PowerWave Wireless Charging Pad: $17.99 at eBay (checked today)
  • Difference: both cost the same at the latest prices (Nov 2 and Nov 10)

What reviewers say

Belkin BoostCharge Wireless Charging Pad 15W

  • 4.2 / 543 ratings

The pad holds a 4.2 out of 5 from 43 ratings, which suggests most buyers are satisfied, but the ratings alone do not show what they liked or disliked.

What people mention
  • Charging speedMixedRatings are mostly positive, but some buyers were not fully satisfied with the charging experience.

Anker PowerWave Wireless Charging Pad

Owners of this generation of PowerWave pads generally describe them as reliable, no-fuss chargers that work through cases, though many note the slower speeds and the need for a Quick Charge adapter.

What people mention
  • Charging speedMixedOwners say it charges fine but noticeably slower than newer 15W pads, and only reaches 10W with a Quick Charge 3.0 adapter.
  • Case compatibilityPraisedReviewers report it charges through slim and medium cases up to about 5 mm without removal.
  • Cable and portCriticisedThe fixed Micro USB connection is called outdated, and some wish it were USB-C.

Questions and answers

Which is better for a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra?
Neither is ideal. The Belkin is rated for 15W Qi2, but owners report slow charging on the S24 Ultra, which prefers Samsung's own fast wireless standard. The Anker caps at 10W. For full speed on that phone, look for a pad that supports Samsung's 15W fast wireless charging.
Which charges an iPhone faster?
The Belkin. Recent iPhones support Qi2 at up to 15W, and the Belkin delivers that. The Anker tops out at 7.5W on iPhone, so it takes noticeably longer.
Is the Belkin worth stepping up to over the Anker?
Yes if you have a Qi2 phone or want USB-C and the longer warranty. If your phone caps at 7.5W or 10W anyway, the Anker does the same job for less.
Do both work through a phone case?
Yes. Both support cases up to 5mm thick. Thick wallets or metal plates will block charging on either.
Which is more durable?
The Belkin has the edge on paper: a 2-year warranty and connected equipment coverage. The Anker is a simpler pad with a fixed Micro USB cable, which is the part most likely to wear out.
Can I use either with earbuds?
Yes, both charge Qi-compatible earbud cases. The Belkin's smaller pad makes aligning a case easier.
