I have a lot of power banks and this is one of my favorites. Other people with different needs could justifiably say it’s one of the most useless.

I already have plenty of large power banks, from 10-20k mah qi chargers to 30k mah beasts that charge laptops at 100w. This charger is very different. My iPhone 14 Pro Max battery is 4,232 mah and wireless charging is not terribly efficient, so this 5,000 mah magnetic power bank doesn’t fully charge my phone. It also only provides 7.5w so it doesn’t charge it very fast. This is not a battery pack to quickly take you from 0-100% multiple times during a week away from outlets.

I love this thing because it provides a kind of freedom those bigger units don’t. Even the fairly slim 10k mah qi chargers I have are basically like carrying another slightly bigger phone and without magnets they won’t wirelessly charge in your pocket. You have to sit them down flat or bring a cable with you. And to be honest I don’t need to bring 2+ extra phone charges with me every day.

This one is barely noticeable when I slip it into my pocket in the morning. It’s a little longer than a credit card (used up gift card in the picture, sorry guys) and thinner than my phone in a case. Much thinner than my AirPods Pro (which this battery will also charge). And it weighs 0.28 lbs, about a quarter of what my phone in modest leather case weighs.

My recorded test matches daily use, it took my iPhone 14 Pro Max from 9-73% in about two hours. Slow and 64% of my battery. And exactly what I want from it.

My phone already lasts a long time, this just provides peace of mind or still gives me a day of wireless freedom if I left the house with my phone under 30%. It’s tiny, weighs almost nothing, and guarantees I make it through even the longest day without any hint of concern about my phone battery.

And to be honest I normally charge my phone from about 20-85%, so even though it’s far shy of 100% it seems like a full charge to me. For those of you with normal size phones instead of maxes, your 3,200 mah / my 4,232 = 75.6%. So if I get 64% / .756 smaller battery = an estimated 85% charge for you guys.

Also to address the people complaining about heat - the back of the battery does warm up in your palm, but it keeps the charging side and the phone comparatively cool. As someone who’s had a malfunctioning MagSafe charger before kicking off serious heat, you’ll know when something’s wrong. This bit of warmth is not a problem.

In summary, this isn’t a powerhouse that fully charges your phone all week. This is a tiny, light as air, barely noticeable extra 64-85% of a phone charge that gets you through long days or times you’re leaving in a hurry with a depleted phone. It is the most convenient gadget I own, discreetly charging my phone in my pocket without a cable. Other clunkier batteries can keep me away from outlets for a week, but this one effortlessly gets me through everyday life.
