Hi all,
I bit the bullet and ordered the 25 ultra and the clear magsafe case but as this will be my first foray into magnetic charging, can anyone recommend some Qi2 chargers?

I didn't recommend a device that only supports Apple phones and headphones, I said I picked up and tried the 'Anker MagSafe Compatible 2-in-1 Charging Stand' that is Qi2 certified to use/test with my Samsung Galaxy S25+ phone that is in a 'certified' Qi2 case designed to work with my 'Qi2 Ready' Galaxy S25+ phone. Yes, the Anker charger was originally designed for the iPhone, but because it is also Qi2 certified', it will fast charge the Galaxy S25+ phone that is in a 'certified' Qi2 case.
As for the wireless charger for Airpods, it will also wireless charge Samsung earbuds.

Have you checked that the Samsung headphones will charge? Because I checked yesterday on another Apple-compatible firm's device, the phone charges, but Samsung's headphones don't.

Sorry, I don't use Samsung earbuds, I use Apple Airpod Pros because I can use them with my Galaxy S25+, my Fire TV Stick, and my Apple iPad Pro (because when flying, my wife and I can both connect our AirPod Pros to the tablet when watching movies/videos in the iPad Pro). As long as the wireless pad on the device is Qi certified and capable of 5W output, it should charge Samsung wireless earbuds.

Did the S25 ulta charge at 15W? the Belkin MagSafe-Compatible Charger, 2-in-1 Magnetic Foldable Charger 15W - Qi2-Certified Wireless on you tube testing only could charge at 7.5W only. Even though it was Qi2 cert. Thanks

I ran a couple of tests when my Galaxy S25+ was below 50% of a charge.
When I tested the 'Anker MagSafe Compatible 2-in-1 Charging Stand', which is Qi2 certified, it showed it was charging at 7.5W.
When I tested an older 3-in1 wireless charger I used with my old Galaxy S21 5G, it charged the Galaxy S25+ at 14.69W.
When I connected the S25+ to a 100W port on my desktop charger using a a 100W USB-C cable, it showed it was charging at 28W.

Wonder what's throttling the charge to 7.5W - the you tube video i saw on Belkin MagSafe showed the same throttling at 7.5W. Thanks you save me time and returning it back to the seller also. Guess I will wait for Anker to indicate S25 support on the Magsafe wireless chargers

I've never had my Galaxy S25+ go under 45% of a charge. I'm going to run my phone down to under 25% and run the tests again. Unfortunately, it may take a day or two to get it that low.
