This ‘toaster charger’ at CES 2025 promises to juice your phone in seconds

A Swippitt Instant Power System shown in use.

Forget charging your phone. This viral "phone toaster" revealed at CES 2025 is promising to bring the days of low battery warnings, portable chargers, and unsightly cables to an end. All you have to do is insert your phone, and two seconds later it's spit back out with a fresh battery.

It's called the Swippitt Hub, a toaster-size box that interacts with a system of interchangeable batteries that fit into specially designed phone cases. The case, which Swippitt refers to as the Link, houses a 3,500mAh battery on the back, enough extra battery capacity to charge your phone between 50-90% depending on the model. Just use your phone like normal, and the extra battery tops off your phone throughout the day via a power connector integrated into the case. Any power you don't use sits in reserve until needed.
