- HOLLIN JONES

$199.95 (Kit Pro) From Scosche, scosche.com

Features Wireless charging pad, magnetic charger for Apple Watch, MFI certified vertical charging station, EndCap dual port charger, USB–C to Lightning cable, USB–A to Lightning cable

The BaseLynx Pro from Scosche has three main components to charge various devices, all of which snap together securely in any combinatio­n you like, with an end cap sealing off the exposed edges. Any module can receive wall power, though only one requires it to power all the other connected modules.

The Vert Station can hold up to three devices and has three ports: One 18W USB–C and two 12W USB–A. You run your own cables to the devices, and it uses Power Delivery technology to enable extra–fast charging. The Wireless Charging Pad is Qi–certified for use with iPhone 8 or later and other compatible smartphone­s, and provides 10W of power, even if the iPhone currently only allows 7.5W wirelessly. It can also be used to charge compatible Airpods. Finally, there’s the Watch Charger module with an Apple-certified magnet that can be used either flat or raised up for Nightstand mode.

BaseLynx Pro is a really elegant solution for charging multiple devices in one location. It’s well–built, comes in black or white, and requires no setup. You can build a system to order, so if you have two phones and a watch but no iPad, or three watches in the family, or an ipad and two older phones without wireless charging, just mix and match. As an added bonus, charging devices together also makes things neat and tidy.

THE BOTTOM LINE. An excellent way to charge just the devices you have, and expand as you add more.
