Nomad may run its fair share of deals on its various phone cases and Apple Watch bands, but we rarely see steep discounts on its fancy, premium multi-chargers. But right now, the second-gen Base One Max is on sale in black or silver for $119 ($51 off) when you use coupon code VERGEB1M on Nomad’s site. The 30 percent discount is good through August 25th at 11:59PM PT.

If you have a MagSafe-compatible iPhone and accompanying accessories like an Apple Watch or a set of AirPods, the Base One Max is a great 3-in-1 home charger that won’t look like an eyesore on your desk or side table. The hefty charger weighs in at 1.7 pounds thanks to its metal and glass slab-style construction, and it can simultaneously fast-charge a compatible Apple Watch while topping up an iPhone at 15W wireless charging speeds — all while charging some AirPods or another pair of earbuds that support wireless charging.

The 3-in-1 version of Nomad’s Base One Max is a wireless charging pad you can use with a MagSafe-compatible iPhone, an Apple Watch, or a pair of AirPods. The hefty device achieves full 15W speeds, and the second-gen revision even fast-charges compatible Apple Watch models.

There are cheaper MagSafe-compatible options out there from other brands, but few of them look this sleek and are built this well. Also, many of them do not meet Apple’s official MagSafe certification or the new Qi standard, but rather original Qi, which tops out at slower 7.5W charging speeds on iPhones. And if any family members or other cohabitants use an Android phone, the Base One Max’s flat pad can also wirelessly charge their handset (just without the benefit of the magnets for that perfect alignment every time).
