See our ethics statement.I’ve probably saved minutes of my life by using a wireless charging puck. Minutes! More valuable than that, I’ve saved myself from bending over numerous times to pick up my USB-C cable that somehow always ends up on the floor. Those with magnet-equipped phones (like the iPhone 12 or newer, or a Google Pixel 10 or 10 Pro phone) can reap similar benefits from a MagSafe-ready Qi2 charging puck. Anker’s MagGo 15W pad is one such model, and it’s down to $14.99 ($15 off) at Amazon and Walmart thanks to Amazon’s Big Spring Sale.Is 15W fast enough to quickly recharge your phone? If you define “quickly” as under an hour, then no. If you need a bunch of juice in just a few minutes, plugging in is your best bet. But is 15W perfect for leaving your phone to recharge overnight? Yes, indeed.Anker’s low-cost charging pad has a five-foot USB-C cable, and the company claims you can leave your phone’s case on while you charge. It doesn’t include a wall adapter.The MagGo Qi2 puck doesn’t include a wall adapter, although one is required for use (Anker recommends a 25W adapter that supports Power Delivery). Assuming you already have one of those, it’s a nice accessory that makes it even easier than it already was to charge not just your phone, but your AirPods, too. Anker’s product page mentions support for Samsung’s Galaxy Buds, so it’s likely that other earbud models that have wireless charging-ready cases will work with this charging pad, too.Sign up for Verge Deals to get deals on products we’ve tested sent to your inbox weekly.Sign up for Verge Deals to get deals on products we’ve tested sent to your inbox weekly.This is the title for the native ad
