Peak Design, known for backpacks and tripods, has launched a collection of wireless chargers and charging accessories.

Peak Design, known for its backpacks, travel bags and tripods, has launched a new collection of smartphone chargers, cables and batteries. The company says it aims to show how much better everyday charging products could be by focusing on premium materials and innovative design.

The collection includes the Wireless Kickstand Travel Battery, priced at around £100, which Peak Design describes as the world's first Qi2.3-certified wireless charger. The device has a 5,000mAh capacity and delivers 15W wireless charging on battery power alone, or up to 25W when connected to a USB power source. It features a folding kickstand and machined anodized aluminum housing in black or cream finishes.

Also launching is the Wireless Charging Station 2-in-1, priced at around £100, featuring two 25W Qi2.2-compatible charging pads that can charge simultaneously. The device is made from die-cast aluminum and zinc and folds flat for travel. The company is also offering a Dual Slim Charger at £65 with two USB-C ports providing up to 65W output, using GaN technology.

Peak Design founder and CEO Peter Dering said the company "didn't set out to make another collection of chargers and cables" but rather to demonstrate that everyday electronics could be significantly better designed and built.
