Find out which phones, earbuds, and gadgets are compatible with the Skullcandy Fuelbase Max 2 wireless charger, plus key decision rules for your setup.
Quick answer
The Fuelbase Max 2 charges any Qi-compatible device, including most modern phones, true wireless earbuds, and accessories that support wireless charging up to 15W total.
What Qi compatibility means for your devices
Qi is the universal wireless charging standard used by most smartphones, earbuds, and wearables. If your device has a Qi receiver built in or you use a Qi-compatible case, it will work with the Fuelbase Max 2. This includes iPhones from the 8 series onward, Samsung Galaxy S and Note models (S6 and later), Google Pixel (3 and later), and many others.
Devices without built-in Qi support—like older phones, wired-only earbuds, or some budget models—won't charge wirelessly on the Fuelbase Max 2. You can add a Qi receiver sticker or case to some devices, but performance may vary.
Two-device charging limits and trade-offs
The Fuelbase Max 2 can charge two devices at once, but the 15W total output is shared. If you charge one device, it can get up to 15W. With two devices, the power splits, so each charges slower. This is fine for overnight or desk charging, but not ideal if you need a quick top-up for two devices simultaneously.
Also, the charging area is a single pad, so both devices must fit side by side. Large phones with bulky cases may overlap or not align properly, reducing charging efficiency.
How to check if your device is compatible
- Check for Qi certification: Look for 'Qi-compatible' or 'wireless charging supported' in your device's specs. If it's listed, it will work with the Fuelbase Max 2.
- Test with a thin case: Cases thicker than 3mm or with metal attachments can block charging. Remove the case or use a slim, non-metallic one for reliable connection.
- Consider charging speed needs: If you frequently need fast charging for two devices, the Fuelbase Max 2's shared 15W may be too slow. For single-device overnight charging, it's fine. For two fast charges, look for a higher-wattage dual charger.
Product facts
- Fuelbase™ Max 2: Fuelbase Max 2 uses one plug and only takes up the space of one charging pad, but it can charge two devices at once. With 15 watts of total output, it will juice up one device or two faster than you can say 'my phone's almost dead.' This means you can charge a phone and earbuds case together without needing extra outlets or a larger charging station.
