Ranked #3 in Best MagSafe Power Banks

Anker 622 Magnetic Battery (MagGo)

4.2

3 sources1 derived$32.99as of Jul 31

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 Boost Charge MagSafe Power Bank

4.3

3 sources2 derived$69.99as of Aug 3

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. It skips the newer Qi2 standard, which caps how fast it can charge. 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
— Textured Yatay material provides grip and feels like leather

Watch-outs

— Qi2 certified, but it still charges at the older Qi standard's slower speeds
— 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 Boost Charge MagSafe Power Bank

The Native Union Boost Charge is the slimmest option at 8.6mm thick, but it lacks Qi2 support and 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.
