LISEN Qi2.2 25W
$40 under your budget
The cheapest Qi2.2-certified 25W station on Amazon in August 2026 — and the 45W brick it needs to hit that speed is already in the box.
Fit ledger — need → measured evidence
■ The catch — co-equal billing, always
It throttles. With no fan, sustained 25W falls to roughly 15-20W after 5-10 minutes, and a full 0-100% charge takes about 1 hour 45 minutes. This is a fast top-up charger, not a fast full-charge one.
Dealbreaker? Runner-up №3 holds 25W with a real fan for $60 more ↓

Traps — this verdict avoids
Why the LISEN Qi2.2 25W is right for you
It avoids every trap below — and for just me, under $80, it is the pick because it delivers:
Cooling names are not fans
Only the Anker Prime (19dB) and the two ESR CryoBoost models (25dB) have an actual fan. ChillBoost, MagFlow and PCBA heat plates are passive — silent, but sustained output falls to 15-20W after 5-10 minutes.
25W needs a new iPhone
Qi2.2's 25W only lands on iPhone 16 and 17 running iOS 18.2+/iOS 26. An iPhone 12-15 is capped at 15W or 7.5W whichever station you buy, and iPhone Air tops out at 20W.
The brick is not always in the box
A station bought without an adapter needs a 45W+ USB-C PD charger to reach its rated speed — a $25-60 hidden cost. Every 25W pick here bundles a 45W or 50W brick; the $34.99 Mous listing does not.
