We tested AeroCharge's 65W magnetic wireless system with multiple phones to see if magnetic charging finally becomes a true daily replacement for wired fast charging.

Review: AeroCharge 65W Wireless — Magnetic Charging Reimagined

Hook: Magnetic wireless charging has matured in 2026 — but can it replace wired charging for power users? We tested multi-device throughput, heat, and long-term reliability.

Why this matters in 2026

Battery wear and user convenience have driven innovation in charging. Magnetic wireless aims to be as convenient as traditional wireless pads with the speed of wired charging. We compared the AeroCharge system to wired 80W chargers and other magnetic standards.

Test methodology

We used repeatable cycles: cold start charge from 20–90%, full discharge cycles, and long use while charging (GPS navigation + streaming). We also stress-tested thermal behavior and accessory compatibility across several phone models.

Results — speed and thermal behavior

AeroCharge sustained higher power for longer than prior magnetic systems. In 20–80% runs, it averaged 60–65W on supported phones with modest thermal throttling. Thermal management improved via an active passive plate inside the puck — though phones with thinner glass showed higher surface temperatures. Given that heat influences long-term battery health, users should weigh convenience vs battery wear; practical guides on habits that preserve device longevity are helpful, such as Small Habits, Big Shifts.

Compatibility & real-world fit

Compatibility is key. AeroCharge works best with phones designed for magnetic charging standards; for others you’ll see degraded speeds. If you want a whole-system approach to device convenience (smart plugs, scheduled charging), introductory resources like Smart Plugs 101 make automation straightforward.

Durability and long-term use

We ran a 90-day endurance test simulating daily attachment cycles; magnets and alignment mechanisms held up well with minor cosmetic wear on the puck. Given repairability concerns, having clear service policies reduces anxiety — and industry transparency around accessory licensing continues to evolve; designers and rights teams should monitor licensing updates such as those reported in creative model vendor updates (see industry roundups on licensing and models).

Practical takeaways

If you value convenience and magnetic accessories, AeroCharge is a meaningful upgrade.
If you prioritize absolute fastest charging with minimal thermal impact, wired 80W still leads.
Travelers should check accessory compatibility with airline and security guidelines; pairing charging strategies with travel tips (for last-minute packing and hotel deals) helps maintain uptime — see How to Find Last-Minute Hotel Deals for travel-oriented workflows.

Final verdict

AeroCharge 65W Wireless is the most refined magnetic fast-charging system we’ve tested to date. It’s ideal for users who prioritize convenience and are comfortable with mild thermal trade-offs. For heavy power users, hybrid wired + magnetic strategies remain optimal.
