Ranked #4 in Best MagSafe Power Banks

Anker 622 Magnetic Battery (MagGo)

4.2

3 sources1 derived$47.99as of Oct 4

The Anker 622 MagGo Magnetic Foldable Battery is slim enough to travel with, and its magnetic stand holds a phone steady in portrait or landscape. MobileReviews Eh. gave it 4 out of 5, liking the soft rubber finish and the wireless charging that starts automatically once activated. Recharging it takes a while, and the magnetic connection is weak enough that a small drop can knock it loose. It works for occasional charging more than for frequent heavy use.

Strengths

— Slim and compact design that's easy to travel with
— Stable magnetic stand for both portrait and landscape modes
— Supports two-way charging via USB-C port

Watch-outs

— Slow recharge rates taking close to 3 hours to fully replenish
— Below average magnetic connection strength (8N vs claimed 9N)

Native Union (Re)Classic Power Bank

4.3

2 sources1 derived$70as of Oct 4

The Native Union (Re)Classic Power Bank is thin enough and stylish enough that you can leave it stuck to your iPhone. iMore's Gerald Lynch praised the 5,000mAh capacity and 15W wireless charging and said its slim profile means it can stay attached permanently. The unit iMore reviewed skipped the newer Qi2 standard, though Native Union now lists the model as Qi2 certified. Colors include black, kraft yellow, and slate green, and a braided USB-C cable is included. Buyers who care about aesthetics and portability more than charging speed are the fit.

Strengths

— Slim design at only 8.6mm thick and 123g weight
— 5,000mAh capacity sufficient for full iPhone 15 Pro charge, per iMore
— Textured Yatay material provides grip and feels like leather, iMore says

Watch-outs

— The unit iMore reviewed was not Qi2, so it missed the faster charging the newer standard offers
— Charging speed limited by temperature management in slim design

How they stack up

Anker 622 Magnetic Battery (MagGo)

The Anker 622 MagGo stands out for its slim design and dual charging capabilities, but it falls short in magnetic strength compared to the ESR HaloLock and lacks the battery capacity of the Belkin or Baseus models. Its slow recharge times also make it less competitive against the Aukey Omnia and Nomad Base One.

Native Union (Re)Classic Power Bank

The Native Union (Re)Classic Power Bank is the slimmest option at 8.6mm thick, but it has limited charging speed compared to the Belkin BoostCharge Pro and Mophie Snap+. Unlike the Anker MagGo, it doesn't feature a foldable stand, and unlike the Baseus model, it lacks a 20W PD USB-C port for fast device charging.
