Just received this to replace another same type battery but that one would go on then just shut off for no apparent reason. I do have an IP-12 and i use a pretty heavy case so i wasn't sure how these type of batteries were going to work.
I installed the metal ring on back of case and as it held battery ok it just wouldn't charge. So i bought this Anker to try it as i do like Anker batteries. Well right away it stuck right to my case and immediately started to charge. I was still skeptical. I just waiting to see if it shuts off and it never really did. Yes it gets warm just like the other battery, but that's the characteristic of this type of charging. But I have to tell you this thing grips much better than the other battery I had, maybe it has something to do with being a MagSafe battery I don't know that's why I wanted to try the Anker as its not a Magsafe but a Maggo and boast that it has a much stronger magnet, and I can Contest to that. It's not the fastest charger but it does charge. It is probably taking me an hour and a half hour to go from 60% to 95% for me that's OK. It's meant to be more of a rescue battery to basically get you through the rest of your day, my phone that has relatively small battery. This battery probably would charge it fully but The newer phones have larger batteries. This probably will maybe get you 80% which is just enough to get you through the rest of your day.
Yes, heat is a factor and some people complain about it and some people understand It's a necessary phenomenon in this kind of charging, this case with the heat temperature gun i saw
134 degrees at its peak but it does go thru cycles of heat and cool as internal thermostat kicks in. To me thats a minor inconvenience, but it does not heat up your phone. The heat stays within the battery itself and it does not radiate to your phone. So far so good i using it now to write this and as the charge percent is not rising as fast as it did when I wasn't using the phone. It's basically holding the percent at one particular spot right now.
So in closing, if you have a heavy duty case, try it, it might work get the rings and put them on the back of your case and see what happens. My rings came with a template which is not easy to use with a heavier case so what I did is I attach the ring to the actual battery And I moved the battery on the back of the case where I found a nice spot where the phone always went on charge every time I hit that spot and then I remove the plastic on the ring went back to push the battery down on that spot removed it push the ring down by hand make sure it was good And that's it, sometimes that's more accurate than using a template. I do agree that the thickness of the case plays a big roll in whether this will work or not, but what do you got to lose if it doesn't work you can return the battery or buy a new case that's thinner and will work better.
