Tired of waiting hours for your phone to charge? The Swippitt Hub, also known as the “toaster charger,” promises to charge your smartphone in less than five seconds, literally. This charger showcased in CES 2025, isn’t your typical plug-in charger or wireless dock. Instead, it’s a system that swaps out your phone’s depleted battery for a fully charged one in a matter of seconds. It is designed for users who value efficiency and adaptability.
How Does It Work?
The Swippitt system consists of three main components – a hub, link cases and an app that displays the information on your phone.
The Swippitt Hub, which is a desktop module that resembles a toaster. It serves as a multi-battery dock for storing and charging up to five individual battery packs at a time.
Swippitt Link cases, which are add-on protective cases containing a 3,500mAh battery. These cases are not make/model-specific internal phone batteries, but are compatible with iPhone 14, 15 and 16 models at launch. Swippitt plans to expand compatibility to Android devices and additional iPhone models by the end of 2025. The Link case acts as both a protective case and a supplementary battery that charges the phone throughout the day via a power connector. Any unused power is stored for later use.
An accompanying app that provides information about battery life, system management, phone location, battery usage patterns, and security settings.
When you place your phone in the Hub, it automatically swaps out the depleted battery in the Link case with a fully charged one using an internal conveyor system. The old battery is then charged in the Hub, which automatically sorts the batteries in order of charge percentage. The entire process takes about two seconds, allowing you to walk away with a fully charged phone immediately. The Hub is ready for a new phone battery swap just four seconds after completing the first.
Specifications and Key Features
The Swippitt Link battery cases are a game-changer for mobile users, offering a built-in 3,500mAh battery to ensure your phone stays charged throughout the day. Designed for convenience, these cases work seamlessly with the Swippitt Hub, a compact charging station that can hold and power up to five Link battery cases simultaneously, keeping you and your devices ready to go.
What sets this system apart is its incredible speed. The battery swapping process takes just two seconds, allowing users to switch to a fully charged battery in no time. Moreover, the Hub is designed to reset and prepare for a new battery swap in as little as four seconds, ensuring minimal downtime.
The Swippitt Hub doesn’t just perform well—it looks great too. With six different finishes available, it’s easy to match the Hub to your personal style or home décor. Additionally, the accompanying app provides users with advanced charging options, such as scheduling charge times or capping the charge at 80% to prolong the phone’s battery life, giving you more control over your device’s performance and longevity.
One of the most impressive features of the Swippitt system is its universal compatibility. As long as there is a Swippitt case designed for your phone model, you can enjoy the benefits of this innovative solution. Whether for everyday convenience or travel, the Swippitt system is redefining portable charging.
Price and Availability
The Swippitt Hub is priced at $450 (₹38,900), and each Swippitt Link case costs $120 (₹10,380). While this may seem expensive, it offers an unparalleled level of convenience. The system is available for pre-order, and deliveries are expected to start in June 2025. The company is also offering promotional discounts, including a 30% discount through January and an additional CES promotion provides $100 off the Hub’s price-tag, reports Tom’s Guide.
Is It Worth It?
The Swippitt system is designed for heavy smartphone users who need a quick and seamless way to charge their phones. It’s especially suited for households or offices with multiple phone users. The ability to swap batteries in seconds eliminates the need to wait while your phone charges, making it ideal for people who are always on the go. While the cost is higher than traditional charging methods, the speed and convenience of the Swippitt system might make it a worthwhile investment for many. However, for budget-conscious users, portable chargers and power banks remain a more affordable option.
