Hi,

I was looking for a magsafe charging station, and was almost about to get the Belkin BoostCharge Pro for $130+taxes, but I ran into this product: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CJ32CBQD?smid=A398H7SD0DVQUR for $50+taxes. This one promises 15W Magsafe charging, and additionally supports 15W on the wireless charger at the base, which I could use for charging a different iPhone in my family.

Is there a risk of using this? Can it ruin my battery/phone in any way?

Also, do you think that a product 1/3rd the price can work as advertised (15W Magsafe + 15W wireless charging for second phone) for a long duration?

I'd love to hear what people think.

Wireless charging will ruin your battery life, doesn’t matter who makes it.

charging in general will ruin the battery life over time
