Anker 622 MagGo: What’s great about the Anker 622 magnetic battery is that it’s a cordless battery with an integrated magnetic edge that converts to a stand. You won’t get fast wireless charging from this 5,000-mAh battery (it charges up to 7.5 watts) but it’s small and easy to carry. It charges via USB-C and when you use USB-C to lightning to charge your iPhone, it will charge at a fast rate of 12 watts. That’s not as fast as the 20-watt USB-C power adapter delivers, but it’s faster than 7.5 watts.
Anker MagGo Power Bank 10K: Anker MagGo Power Bank 10K has a 10,000-mAh battery that can fully charge most iPhones 1.75 times. It’s Qi2 certified, meaning it offers 15-watt fast charging power and is fully MagSafe compatible, offering twice the speed of 7.5-watt wireless chargers for MagSafe-enabled iPhones and Android smartphones that support 15-watt wireless charging. Available in five color options and not much bigger than the MagGo Power Bank 6.6K, this model has a retractable kickstand and an LCD that shows the remaining battery life. You can take the power bank on the go or leave it plugged in to use as a wireless charging stand when you’re at home (you’ll need a 15W or higher power adapter to get 15W charging speeds when the battery is plugged in and used as a charging stand at home).
Ugreen Qi2 magnetic power bank: Little-known battery companies, like Ugreen and Baseus, are trying to take on Anker on Amazon with power banks like this Qi2 magnetic charger ($35). It is very small with a 10,000-mAh battery and offers 15-watt wireless charging and 20W wireless charging when you connect the battery to a 20W or higher power adapter. This power bank can charge the iPhone 16 almost twice and is one of the most affordable Qi2 certified power banks.
Mophie Powerstation Plus Mini: If you have one of the new iPhones with USB-C charging, or an Android smartphone with USB-C, the Mophie Powerstation Plus Mini ($50) is a compact power bank with an integrated USB-C cable that offers 20-watt fast charging. The smaller version has a 5,000-mAh battery that will fully charge multiple smartphones at once. Mophie also makes a larger, 10,000mAh version that offers double the charging capacity, but it’s bigger and costs more. Note that while you are charging the battery, you can also charge your device (the battery is charging pass-through).
Mophie Powerstation Plus: If you still use Apple devices with Lightning connectors but also want a power bank that can charge USB-C equipped devices, the Mophie Powerstation Plus ($80), while reasonably priced, is a good choice with its dual UBC-C/Lightning cable design. It’s a 10,000-mAh battery, so it can charge an iPhone 16 almost twice, and it delivers 30 watts of power to its USB-C port, so it can even give juice to a MacBook Air in a pinch. The smaller Mini version costs about $30 less and has only one USB-C cable (5,000-mAH battery), while the Mophie Powerstation Plus ($100) also has two cables but adds retractable prongs so you can charge it from any power outlet.
Anker MagGo Power Bank 6.6K: Anker MagGo Power Bank 6.6K has a 6,600-mAh battery and a foldable design with customizable viewing angles. It is Qi2 certified, meaning it offers 15-watt fast charging capabilities and is fully MagSafe compatible, offering twice the speed of 7.5-watt wireless chargers for MagSafe-powered iPhone 13, 14, 15 and 16 models and Android smartphones that support 15-watt wireless charging. Even though it comes with a USB-C cable, you’ll need a USB-C charger with more than 15-watt output to hit those 15-watt charging speeds. You can take the power bank on the go or leave it plugged in to use as a wireless charging station at home. Its only drawback is that it is too small for use on the go.
The Nimble Champ: Nimble’s updated Champ portable charger uses recycled plastic in its design. You have to pay a little for being green, but it’s a nice, compact 10,000-mAh charger that features 20-watt PD fast charging with two USB-C ports (one on either side of the power bank) that lets you charge two devices at once. If you charge two devices, your charging speed will be limited to 10 watts per device.
MyCharge Superhero MagLock: MyCharge calls its line of magnetic power banks Superhero MagLock, which means they are real lifesavers. I was impressed by their design. Not only do the batteries, which come in various capacities and colors, have strong magnets and stick well to the back of any MagSafe-enabled iPhone, but they feature coils, which should help reduce temperatures while charging. It seems to be working. All MagLock batteries charge Qi-enabled iPhones at 5 watts, though you can charge faster if you’re wired and using a USB-C-to-Lightning cable. I also liked that there is a beep when charging starts and your phone tells you how much juice is left in the battery pack
Anker 523 PowerCore Slim 10K PD: The Anker 523 PowerCore Slim 10K PD ($28) is surprisingly small for a 10,000-mAh mobile phone charger and has a 20-watt USB-C output charging port (it’s also a USB-C input to charge its battery), and a 12-watt USB-A port on the outside. Although the Anker 313 PowerCore Slim 10K is cheap, it offers fast USB-C charging, which makes spending extra dough a big deal if you have a USB-C-to-Lightning cable.
Mophie Powerstation 10K Stand with MagSafe: Mophie’s Powerstation Wireless Stand with MagSafe isn’t cheap but it’s a versatile 10,000-mAh battery that has both a stand and a built-in MagSafe charger and a wired tripod mount on the bottom. Since this is an official MagSafe charger, the battery charges at 15 watts, making this one of the fastest external wireless battery chargers out there and will charge the AirPods 3 and AirPods Pro models with MagSafe. If you use a USB-C-to-Lightning cable (not included) as well, you can charge at 20-watt speeds. You can also charge two devices at the same time.
Anker PowerCore III 10K Portable Charger: The Anker PowerCore III 10K portable charger has a USB-C fast charging output (18 watts) and a USB-A port with up to 10-watt wireless charging. It’s not magnetic, so your phone won’t stick to it but it will wirelessly charge any Qi-enabled devices.
Mophie Snap Plus Juice Pack Mini: Mophie’s magnetic power bank is similar to Anker’s but is much smaller (fits a 5,000-mAh battery) and doesn’t have an integrated flap that converts to a stand. Designed to stick to the back of iPhone or MagSafe-enabled MagSafe cases, it comes with a “snap adapter” ring to stick to the back of Android devices for self-magnetization.
Anker PowerCore Fusion Portable Charger (Currently Not Available): This Anker model is an oversized wall charger with a built-in 5,000-mAh battery. It has two standard USB charging ports for simultaneously connecting your phone and a second gadget (or two phones). A small LED indicator on the side allows you to check the charge level by pressing a button.
