Phone Charger Delivers Full Battery in 2 Seconds

One of the buzziest products at CES 2025 earlier this year was the all-new fast power-up solution for mobile phones. No need for charging cables or the constant fear of running out of juice, simply drop your iPhone into the toaster-like Swippitt Hub and - like magic - you pull it out fully charged.

If two-second charging sounds too good to be true, that's because it is. Swippitt hasn't actually created a mega-voltage miracle charger. Instead, it's developed what it calls an Instant Power System, a simple, convenient battery-swapping ecosystem. It's already being done for electric mopeds and for electric cars, so why not for phones?

That toaster-like desktop module by Swippitt is a multi-battery dock that stores and charges up to five individual battery packs at a time.

The battery packs themselves aren't make/model-specific internal phone batteries but compatible Swippitt Link add-on packs meant to serve as both a protective cases and phone life-doubling supplementary batteries. Pop the phone into the Hub slot and the Hub knocks off the original Link case and replaces it with a fully charged one via an internal conveyer system, automatically starting the charging process on the newly stored dead Link pack.

The speed-swapping process takes a mere two seconds so you can walk off with your phone almost immediately with a fully charged replacement battery.

With its five-battery capacity, a single Hub is ready to be used for multiple phones, providing a potentially popular solution for homes and offices. Multiple users can even replace their batteries one after the other as the Hub is ready for a new phone battery swap just four seconds after completing the first.

Buying up to five separate US$125 Link battery cases and a $450 Swippitt Hub is obviously substantially more expensive than simply charging your phone the slow, old-fashioned way. So, whilst this new device offers refreshing speed and convenience, it's probably - for now - sadly too expensive for most of us.

However, potential buyers can pre-order now for deliveries commencing in late 2025, so you will soon get to decide if Swippitt was worth it. Check out the video of the device in action, below.
