– The system will be available in Q1 2026 in three configurations, with pricing announced closer to release, and supports wireless charging up to 25W.
– Each sphere includes a 30W USB-C port for wired charging and allows simultaneous charging of two devices, though power output decreases when both are used.
– While the base station can charge three devices at once, the spheres provide flexibility by being removable for use anywhere in the home.
Aukey’s new MagFusion Ark introduces a truly modular approach to wireless charging, offering users unprecedented flexibility and convenience. This innovative system combines a sleek base station with up to three Qi2.2 charging pads and spherical power banks that double as portable chargers. Each sphere features its own Qi2.2-compatible pad and a substantial 6,700mAh internal battery, allowing for both passthrough charging while docked and standalone use when removed.
Available in three configurations, the MagFusion Ark will launch in Q1 2026 with pricing details to follow closer to release. Options include a full bundle with a three-pad base and three spheres, as well as smaller bases with one or two pads where spheres are sold separately. Both the base and spheres support Qi2.2 wireless charging at up to 25W, ensuring fast and efficient power delivery for compatible devices.
Designed to resemble a modern surround sound speaker system, the Ark’s spherical chargers are both functional and visually striking. When used independently, each sphere can provide at least one full smartphone charge or several partial top-ups, though actual performance depends on the device’s battery capacity and health. A built-in cooling fan helps maintain optimal performance during extended use.
One of the standout features is the adjustable wireless charging pad on each sphere, which allows users to tilt their devices for better viewing angles while charging. Additionally, a 30W USB-C port on every sphere offers versatile charging options: it can be used for wired charging to maximize efficiency, power non-Qi2 devices, or keep the sphere plugged in as a permanent charging stand. Note that when charging two devices simultaneously, one via USB-C and one wirelessly, output drops to 20W and 15W respectively.
While Aukey promotes “six charging points,” the base station itself supports only three wireless devices at a time, not counting the spheres. However, the real advantage lies in the system’s flexibility. Removing a sphere to charge a device elsewhere frees up a pad on the base for another gadget. Though the base has a relatively large footprint, the ability to distribute charging points throughout your living space makes the MagFusion Ark a compelling solution for modern multi-device households.
