New Philips wireless power bank with integrated stand appears

A new Philips power bank appears to be on the way. The accessory, referred to as model DLP2540C, was recently spotted in the database of the Wireless Power Consortium, the organisation responsible for the rollout of wireless charging standards.

The Philips DLP2540C Power Bank is a Qi-certified device; it is worth noting that the certificate is for Qi 1.3.3, rather than the more recent Qi 2.2.1. The wireless charging pad on the front of this accessory can deliver an up to 5W output, making it suitable for charging gadgets like AirPods or an Apple Watch, or for slowly charging a smartphone.

An image of the new Philips Power Bank (above) does not confirm any other outputs, though there could be ports on the two sides not shown in the picture. The photo also indicates that there is one or two integrated stands, allowing you to adjust the viewing angle of a connected phone while it charges. The full specification of this device, including the battery capacity and measurements, has yet to be revealed. The product URL provided in the database entry is for the Chinese manufacturer RichGo, the company behind this Philips-branded power bank.

It is unclear when the Philips DLP2540C Power Bank will be released, and in which markets it will be sold. Older Philips accessories are available in European countries like Germany; for example, the older DLP2510C USB-C Power Bank is currently available for €22.76 through Amazon's marketplace.
