Best MagSafe portable battery packs and power banks for iPhone 12, 13 and 14
Portable power banks that charge your phone are popular, but wireless battery packs using Apple’s MagSafe technology offer a simpler and smarter cable-free solution for iPhone 12, 13 and 14 users.
Phone batteries are prone to run dry just when you’re heading away from a power source, so having a portable charging source is one of today’s necessities. Annoyingly, most power banks require you to carry around a cable, too.
Wireless power banks do away with cables but come with their own major limitation–the inefficiency of wireless charging means you need a high-capacity power bank to fully charge a drained iPhone.
I use one as a quick bedside iPhone charger so I can charge and use the phone at the same time without having to worry about cable length. And of course I carry one around with me in my bag for on-the-move recharging.
MagSafe is a technology that’s compatible with all iPhone 12, 13 and 14 models, from the mini to the Pro Max. It allows accessories to connect magnetically to the back of the iPhone.
The MagSafe connection is precise enough to make wireless charging more efficient as around 20% of Qi power loss is from poor placement of a phone and the wireless charging pad. WStandard Qi wireless charging can lose as much as 50% of the portable battery’s power, MagSafe wireless charging loses ‘just’ 30%.
While it’s not as efficient as using a cable to charge a phone, MagSafe is a tech that brings true wireless charging a step closer to doing away with cables altogether.
We have tested the best MagSafe chargers to find which is the right one for you and your iPhone. Here we have tested the best MagSafe battery packs.
Certified MagSafe or MagSafe compatible
Not all are officially certified MagSafe by Apple but we’ve included only those MagSafe-compatible battery packs that work as efficiently as the “Made for MagSafe” models. Official certification is more important for wired MagSafe chargers as the 15W charging power of MagSafe-certified chargers beats the 7.5W maximum for mere MagSafe-compatible accessories.
In comparison, the portable battery packs tested here can’t reach 15W, except those that can be charged simultaneously by wire and wireless, as the Apple MagSafe Battery Pack can.
We have listed the speeds at which each portable power bank can be charged itself (Input charger) and charge the iPhone (Output charger).
We’ve also included a few alternative non-magnetic options, including standard power banks and battery cases. MagSafe is cool but it isn’t always the best option.
After the list of our favorites, you’ll find more details on how MagSafe works and why you should be looking at a power bank’s capacity in Watt Hours rather than the mostly quoted Milliamp Hours.
Apple MagSafe Battery Pack – Smartest MagSafe battery
- MagSafe

- Smarter battery features than rivals
- Cable plus wireless charging (15W)
Capacity: 11.13Wh (1460mAh/2920mAh)
Input charger: Lightning (27W)
Output charger: Wireless (5W) Lightning (15W combined)
MagSafe: Certified
Tested: Yes
Charged drained iPhone to: 60%
Weight: 114g
Dimensions: 9.6-x-6.4-1.1cm
Colors: White
Compatibility: iPhone 12/13 mini, iPhone 12/13/14, iPhone 12/13/14 Pro, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 12/13/14 Pro Max
Compatible with all models of iPhone 12, 13 and 14, the Apple MagSafe Battery Pack is an intelligent and convenient lightweight power pack that magnetically clamps to the iPhone.
While underpowered compared to the competition, it will charge a fading iPhone up to around 60%, which should be enough to get you through the day to when you have access to a power outlet.
Wireless charging isn’t the speediest at 5W, but unlike most other MagSafe chargers, the Apple Battery Pack can charge an iPhone at 15W using a wireless and a Lightning cable simultaneously.
Its Apple advantage is its Smart features that show onscreen battery power icons and safety features that stop charging when too hot or before the phone’s internal battery could be compromised – meaning it’s good practice to stop charging a phone battery at 90% for long-term battery health.
Available in white only, the Apple MagSafe Battery Pack is smarter but more expensive compared to third-party alternatives.
Belkin BoostCharge Power Bank 5K Stand – Best MagSafe battery pack with stand
Capacity: 18Wh (5000mAh)

Compatibility: iPhone 12/13 mini, iPhone 12/13/14, iPhone 12/13/14 Pro, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 12/13/14 Pro Max
The battle to be the best MagSafe-compatible power bank that also boasts a kickstand is a close run thing between the Belkin BoostCharge and the Anker MagGo 622. Both have 5000mAh batteries but the Belkin won in our head-to-head tests, recharging a faded iPhone 13 Pro by 90%, compared to Anker’s 80%.
The Belkin’s kickstand is easier to use and feels more robust, and the battery pack itself is marginally smaller. We still love the Anker 622 but the Belkin wins the battle of the MagSafe kickstand power banks.
It also beats Apple’s 5W wireless charging with 7.5W when clamped to the back of an iPhone, and while it doesn’t hit 15W on simultaneous wired and wireless charging like the Apple MagSafe Battery Pack, it can be charged with a cable at a chippy 10W.
The Pink and Purple colors are available in the U.S. only. Everyone else gets either Black or White models to choose from.
Anker MagGo 622 Magnetic Battery – MagSafe battery pack with stand
Capacity: 19.13Wh (5000mAh)
Input charger: USB-C (12W)
Output charger: Wireless (7.5W)
MagSafe: Compatible
Tested: Yes
Charged drained iPhone to: 80%
Weight: 146g
Dimensions: 10.5-x-6.6-x-1.3cm
Colors: White, Gray, Purple, Green, Blue
Compatibility: All iPhone 12, 13 and 14, except mini
The Anker MagGo 622 Magnetic Battery is cheaper than the Apple MagSafe Battery Pack, has a larger battery capacity and is available in multiple muted colours: white, purple, green, blue and gray.
It works with all MagSafe iPhone, but sits a little over the smaller iPhone mini when magnetically attached.
We love that the Anker 622 comes with its own built-in fold-out stand, which with MagSafe’s pulling power will hold your iPhone securely in either portrait/vertical or landscape/horizontal mode. The Belkin BoostCharge 5K, reviewed above, has a tougher metal pull-out stand, and also offer another 10% of charge on the better-looking Anker 622.
The stand folds away so that it can be popped in a to be magnetically clamped to the phone when you need it most – and operates just like the Apple battery pack.
In our battery tests, the 622 managed to charge a drained iPhone to 80% of full power, which is a significant jump on Apple’s MagSafe Battery Case and the UAG Lucent Charger (also with kickstand) that both powered the iPhone to just 60%.
The Anker battery is rated at 19.13Wh (5,000mAh) but, like all the other wireless chargers loses a decent chunk of that power to environmental factors. As its battery is larger than Apple’s, it actually loses a little more but has plenty in reserve to make up for this.
The Anker battery charges wirelessly at 7.5W–faster than Apple’s 5W charge, although the Apple battery can use the wireless Qi and cabled USB-C power simultaneously to speed charging at up to 15W.
It ships with a 60cm USB-C cable.
UAG Lucent Wireless Portable Charger with Kickstand – Best small magnetic power bank
Capacity: 15.4Wh (4000mAh)
Input charger: USB-C (18W)
Output charger: Wireless (7.5W)

Colors: Black, Deep Ocean, Marshmallow, Orchid
Compatibility: iPhone 12/13 mini, iPhone 12/13/14, iPhone 12/13/14 Pro, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 12/13/14 Pro Max
A third-party alternative to Apple’s MagSafe Battery Pack is Urban Armor Gear’s Lucent Wireless Portable Charger. Like the Apple Battery Pack, it’s not the highest capacity battery on test here, but it is dinky—just a little larger and heavier than Apple’s.
The battery capacity appears a lot larger in the specs, but Apple’s Smart magic means they both tested in real life around the same–raising a dead iPhone to just over 60% charge.
This UAG portable magnetic charger beats Apple on having a handy built-in kickstand and a choice of colors, as well as faster charging at 7.5W. And it’s also a decent amount cheaper.
It ships with a 1m USB-C cable, although it’s old-school USB-A on the wall-plug end.
Moft Snap Stand Power Set – Best wallet/stand magnetic battery pack
Input charger: USB-C (10W)
Output charger: Wireless (7.5W)
MagSafe: Compatible
Tested: Yes
Charged drained iPhone to: 50%
Weight: 120g
Dimensions: 9.9-x-6.6-x-1.2cm
Colors: Black, Blue, Brown, Purple
Compatibility: iPhone 12/13 mini, iPhone 12/13/14, iPhone 12/13/14 Pro, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 12/13/14 Pro Max
The Moft Snap Stand Power Set is a clever combination of magnetic battery pack with a detachable stand that also holds up to three travel or credit cards.
The faux leather stand took me a few goes to work out how it works, but once you’ve mastered it, it’s easy. Previously, I haven’t seen a stand that can hold cards at the same time, so this is smarter than most MagSafe stands.
The supplied USB-C cable also links magnetically to the battery pack, which will charge a connected iPhone first before the power bank itself. While the battery pack offers only a 50% charge, that will likely be enough for most trips away from a fixed power source. If you need more portable battery capacity, look at an alternative such as the Anker MagGo 622 (80% charge).
It is MagSafe-compatible but curiously boasts a usually only-MagSafe-certified feature, where there’s a visual representation of available charge on the iPhone itself.

Weight: 132g
Dimensions: 10.6-x-6.6-x-1.2cm
Colors: White, Blue, Gray
Compatibility: All iPhone 12, 13 and 14, except mini
The Anker MacGo 633 Wireless Charger is more than just a MagSafe charger. It’s also an adjustable stand that charges the iPhone when in place, and also keeps the 633 battery charged for when you need to slip it out of its holster for portable use.
And the base of the stand is also Qi-enabled so can wirelessly charge an Airpods case or similarly sized Qi-ready device.
As a portable battery charger that magnetically attaches to the iPhone it is similar to its non-charge-stand sibling, the Anker MagGo 622. And it has the same 19.13Wh (5000mAh) battery that offers a greater charge potential than Apple’s own MagSafe Battery Pack.
In our tests, it charged an empty iPhone 13 Pro up to 84%, beating the 622’s 80% and Apple’s 60%.
It charges the iPhone at a decent 7.5W–the same as the 622 and 1.5x better than the Apple – and comes with a 25W wall charger and 1.5m USB-C cable.
The Anker MagGo 633 is great value as it offers so many functions: desktop charger, portable power bank, Airpods charger, and adjustable viewing stand, and is doesn’t compromise on any of those roles.
ESR HaloLock Kickstand Wireless Power Bank

Charged drained iPhone to: 149%
Weight: 219g
Dimensions: 10.4-x-6.9-x-2cm
Colors: White, Black
Compatibility: All iPhone 12, 13 and 14
The ESR Halolock Kickstand Wireless Power Bank might not mention its magnetism in its name, but it is a worthy alternative to Apple’s MagSafe Battery Pack.
It’s MagSafe compatible rather than certified, so charges at 7.5W instead of 15W, but its 10000mAh battery capacity is significantly greater.
It also boasts a robust metal kickstand that can be used in both portrait and landscape modes.
That and its giant capacity positions it as a competitor to the SWIO/CAVN Magnetic Wireless Portable Charger (reviewed above). While it’s more expensive, it did power our faded iPhone for longer and has a tougher kickstand. It’s also a little smaller, but a tiny bit heavier.
Passthrough charging lets you charge your phone and power bank at the same time.
SWIO Magnetic Wireless Portable Charger – Highest capacity attachable MagSafe battery pack
Capacity: 38.5Wh (10000mAh)
Input charger: USB-C (22W)

MagSafe: Compatible
Tested: Yes
Charged drained iPhone to: 136%
Weight: 210g
Dimensions: 10.4-x-6.6-x-2.1cm
Colors: Black, Blue
Compatibility: All iPhone 12, 13 and 14 models
The SWIO/CAVN Magnetic Wireless Portable Charger boasts a giant battery, with 38.5Wh (10,000mAh) capacity. This colossal capacity means it is a bit of a colossus itself, significantly fatter than other portable chargers tested here.
It’s chunky thickness will fit in a while clamped to a phone but only just. It’s more a charger on the table type of power bank.
Indeed, with its handy built-in stand, you can settle down to watch a movie while your phone is re-energized.
It recharged our test iPhone 13 Pro to 100% and then another 36% above that, so it can charger a couple of flagging phones, or iPhone and Airpods (via cable), or just keep juice spare for a decent top up later. It will charge a non-Pro 12, 13 or 14 even further. It’s even capable of giving a respectable charge to an iPad Pro.
iWalk Magnetic Wireless Power Bank – Best MagSafe battery with LED display
Capacity: 22.2Wh (6000mAh)
Input charger: USB-C (18W)
Output charger: Wireless (7.5W), USB-C (18W)
MagSafe: Compatible
Tested: Yes
Charged drained iPhone to: 105%
Weight: 158g
Dimensions: 10.3-x-6.5-x-1.8cm
Colors: Black, White, Pink
Compatibility: All iPhone 12, 13 and 14 models
The iWalk Magnetic Wireless Power Bank has a couple of features not found on other magnetic battery packs.
The most obvious is the finger ring, which is meant to mean safer holding but we prefer to grip our phone using a whole hand. But it does double-up as a kickstand for the iPhone so you can place it in a horizontal/landscape viewing position–horizontal feels more stable.
Even more useful is the LED battery-charge indicator that shows you exactly how much charge is in the power bank. This is way more helpful than the usual array of four tiny LEDs that most battery packs come with and especially more informative than Apple’s single Orange (not full) or Green (full) LED that lights up only when cable- connected to a power source.
The iWalk power bank also boasts a sizeable battery, with 2.2Wh (6000mAh) capacity. It recharged our test iPhone 13 Pro to 100% and then another 5% above that, so, in reality, a full charge with a little over for expected battery drain if left sitting in your bag for a few days. And it will charge a non-Pro 12, 13 or 14 even further.
As such, it’s heavier and fatter (including the pull-out ring) than most other magnetic power banks tested here.
It can charge while magnetically clamped to the iPhone and also (but not simultaneously) by USB cable at an impressive 18W, although you’ll need a USB-C-to-Lightning cable for wired charging.
it comes with a USB-C-to-USB-C cable for charging the pack itself, and also a Magsticker to attach to non-MagSafe phones for the same battery-pack functionality.

The SWIO/CAVN Magnetic Wireless Portable Charger boasts a giant battery, with 38.5Wh (10,000mAh) capacity. This colossal capacity means it is a bit of a colossus itself, significantly fatter than other portable chargers tested here.
It’s chunky thickness will fit in a while clamped to a phone but only just. It’s more a charger on the table type of power bank.
Indeed, with its handy built-in stand, you can settle down to watch a movie while your phone is re-energized.
It recharged our test iPhone 13 Pro to 100% and then another 36% above that, so it can charger a couple of flagging phones, or iPhone and Airpods (via cable), or just keep juice spare for a decent top up later. It will charge a non-Pro 12, 13 or 14 even further. It’s even capable of giving a respectable charge to an iPad Pro.

The iWalk Magnetic Wireless Power Bank has a couple of features not found on other magnetic battery packs.
The most obvious is the finger ring, which is meant to mean safer holding but we prefer to grip our phone using a whole hand. But it does double-up as a kickstand for the iPhone so you can place it in a horizontal/landscape viewing position–horizontal feels more stable.
Even more useful is the LED battery-charge indicator that shows you exactly how much charge is in the power bank. This is way more helpful than the usual array of four tiny LEDs that most battery packs come with and especially more informative than Apple’s single Orange (not full) or Green (full) LED that lights up only when cable- connected to a power source.
The iWalk power bank also boasts a sizeable battery, with 2.2Wh (6000mAh) capacity. It recharged our test iPhone 13 Pro to 100% and then another 5% above that, so, in reality, a full charge with a little over for expected battery drain if left sitting in your bag for a few days. And it will charge a non-Pro 12, 13 or 14 even further.
As such, it’s heavier and fatter (including the pull-out ring) than most other magnetic power banks tested here.
It can charge while magnetically clamped to the iPhone and also (but not simultaneously) by USB cable at an impressive 18W, although you’ll need a USB-C-to-Lightning cable for wired charging.
it comes with a USB-C-to-USB-C cable for charging the pack itself, and also a Magsticker to attach to non-MagSafe phones for the same battery-pack functionality.
Kako izbrati najboljši power bank za vaš telefon?
Na prvi pogled so powerbanki super preproste naprave. To je samo ena velika baterija, kajne? Err, ja, pravzaprav je tako! Glede na to je treba upoštevati ogromno različnih možnosti, zmogljivosti in tehnologij, da boste vi in vaše naprave kar najbolje izkoristili njihovo moč.
Kot najbolj znana blagovna znamka powerbank-ov na svetu lahko zaupate našim nasvetom. In če na koncu ne izberete Ankerja, je to tudi ok! Samo širimo znanje.
To je popoln vodnik za začetnike, zato lahko skočite na druge razdelke, če ste že na tekočem z nekaterimi stvarmi.
Razlaga žargona
Obstajajo 3 glavne specifikacije, s katerimi se boste morali seznaniti, ko boste nakupovali Power Bank.
- Zmogljivost – To je, koliko “soka” hrani power bank, običajno merjeno v miliamperskih urah (mAh).
- Vhodna moč – To je količina energije, ki je potrebna za ponovno polnjenje samega akumulatorja.
- Izhodna moč – To je količina energije, ki jo polnilec lahko da drugim napravam.
- Vhodi – To je vrsta vtičnic ali priključkov. Veliko powerbankov se zdaj polni prek vhoda USB-C, vendar se lahko pogosto napajajo tudi prek USB-A (tradicionalni vtič USB).
Velikost proti moči
Kot pri vsem v življenju je tudi vaš powerbank kompromis. Morali boste uravnotežiti količino moči, ki jo želite, z velikostjo naprave, ki jo želite nositi s seboj. Žepni polnilec vam ne bo pomagal preživeti tedna v divjini, a velika plastična plošča ne bo videti čudovita, če bo visela iz vaše torbice v kafiču.
- Žepni polnilniki (3000–9000 mAh) vam bodo zagotovili eno ali morda dve polni polnitvi vašega telefona, zato so odlični za celo noč. Na voljo so tudi v stotinah barv, oblik in velikosti, tako da jih lahko stilizirate ali skrijete. Na splošno boste pri tej velikosti tablični računalnik lahko tudi počasi polnili, vendar morda ne bo dosegel 100 % – prenosni računalniki in kaj večjega ne pride v poštev.
- Srednji polnilniki (9000–15000 mAh) vam bodo zagotovili vsaj dve ali tri polnjenja za telefon ali eno za tablico. Običajno so preveliki in težki za žep, zato jih boste morali nositi v torbi, če ste na poti. Odvisno od izhodne moči napajalnika boste potencialno lahko začeli polniti prenosnike v tem obsegu.
- Veliki polnilniki (15000 mAh) so v bistvu neomejeni glede števila polnjenj, ki jih lahko dajo in katere naprave lahko napajajo. Te napajalne enote lahko vaš telefon polnijo teden dni ali več in lahko napajajo karkoli, od prenosnih računalnikov do … karkoli! Bi radi hladno pijačo iz mojega hladilnika, ki ga poganja PowerHouse?
Koliko polnjenj lahko dobim?
Skoraj vse polnilne baterije (vključno z napajalnimi baterijami in baterijami v telefonu in tablici) se merijo v miliamper urah (mAh). Na primer, iPhone 12 ima baterijo 2.815 mAh.
Če ima moj telefon baterijo z zmogljivostjo 2815 mAh in ima tudi moj napajalnik kapaciteto 2815 mAh, bi moral telefon napolniti točno enkrat, kajne? NAROBE. Ko bi le bilo življenje tako preprosto … Proces prenosa naboja iz ene baterije v drugo zahteva energijo. Pri večini napajalnikov lahko pričakujete, da boste izgubili do približno 30 % skupne zmogljivosti samo s potiskanjem polnjenja z ene strani na drugo (kakovostnejši napajalniki bodo izgubili manj).
Torej, če imam 10.000 mAh powerbank, bo od tega uporabnega le približno 7.000 mAh. Za iPhone 12 bi prejeli manj kot 3 polnjenja.
Vhod in izhod
Powerbanki in telefoni so dovolj pametni, da se natančno odločijo, koliko energije je treba dati in prejeti.
Recimo, da ima vaš telefon na vhodu 5 voltov in 2 ampera (5 V/2 A). Če imate napajalnik, ki ima enako moč kot vhod tega telefona, se bo polnil z najhitrejšo možno hitrostjo. Če je izhodna napetost vaše napajalne enote nižja od 5 V/2 A, se bo polnila v redu, a počasneje. Če je izhodna napetost napajalnika višja od 5 V/2 A, boste polnili s polno hitrostjo in dodatna moč ne predstavlja tveganja za vaš telefon ali polnilnik.
Pomembno si je zapomniti, da če želite najhitrejše možno polnjenje, uskladite vhod in izhod. Toda najslabše, kar se lahko zgodi, če tega ne storite, je, da se vaše naprave ali napajalna banka polnijo počasi. Le tako boste lahko izbrali najboljši power bank.
Kaj pa hitro polnjenje?
Nekoč je obstajala samo ena tehnologija hitrega polnjenja: Qualcomm Quick Charge. Dandanes imajo skoraj vsi telefoni Android svojo lastniško strojno opremo za hitro polnjenje. Te znamke ne marajo deliti svojih skrivnosti, tako da, razen če ima vaš polnilec ali napajalna banka njihovo ekskluzivno strojno opremo, se ne bo polnil s polno hitrostjo (tudi če se vhod in izhod popolnoma ujemata). Torej, če želite napajalnik, ki polni vaš telefon z največjo možno hitrostjo, boste verjetno morali dobiti napajalnik neposredno od istega proizvajalca.
Če ga ne izdelajo, boste polnili veliko različnih naprav ali pa ne želite plačati premije, katera koli napajalna banka bo še vedno popolnoma dobro polnila vaš telefon (čeprav ne z največjo hitrostjo).
Kako izbrati najboljši power bank za vaš telefon?
Zdaj lahko podamo nekaj priporočil kako izbrati najboljši power bank za vaš telefon. Ne pozabite, da vam ni treba kupiti Ankerja, to je samo naše priporočilo, ker menimo, da so najboljši. Za vas bo deloval polnilnik z enako zmogljivostjo in izhodnimi vrati.
za Android in iPhone telefone:
- žepni powerbanki (npr. PowerCore 5000)
- srednje veliki powerbanki (npr. PowerCore Slim 10000 PD)
- veliki powerbanki (npr. PowerCore III Elite 25600)
za tablične računalnike in prenosnike:
Nekaj drugega, kar morate upoštevati, je kabel, ki ga uporabljate s telefonom. Če polnite s kablom USB-C, bi bilo vredno investirati v prenosni polnilnik, ki se prav tako polni prek USB-C, tako boste morali nositi samo en kabel. Na žalost telefoni iPhone še vedno uporabljajo priključke Lightning, ki so lastniška strojna oprema Apple, tako da ne boste našli napajalne powerbanke, ki bi se lahko polnili s tem priključkom (vzdih).
Brezžični in magnetni polnilniki
Potem ko je leta 2020 izšel iPhone 12 z MagSafe, so se začele pojavljati napajalne baterije, ki se magnetno prilepijo na vaš telefon. So odlična možnost, če uporabljate najnovejšo generacijo iPhona. Magnetna baterija Anker 622 (MagGo) se popolnoma prilega temu, in če želite videti več iz naše celotne ponudbe magnetnih brezžičnih polnilnikov za iPhone, kliknite tukaj.
Če niste uporabnik iPhona, a vseeno obožujete udobje brezžičnega polnjenja, je PowerCore III 10K Wireless odlična izbira! Ki se lahko brezžično polni in brezžično polni vaše naprave.
Ne pozabite pa, da je brezžično polnjenje manj učinkovito kot polnjenje s kablom, zato boste med prenosom energije izgubili dodatno zmogljivost.
Naši powerbanki so dosledno ocenjeni kot najboljši na svetu, zato nam lahko zaupate, ko gre za kar koli v zvezi s polnjenjem. Če imate še vedno vprašanja, najboljši power bank, pobrskajte po naši trgovini ali se obrnite na našo prodajno ekipo in poiščite pomoč.

How to Choose the Right Power Bank?
For a longer trip, you may want to choose a power bank with a higher mAh and wattage. Power banks with higher mAh can last for more charge cycles before needing a recharge themselves. This is especially helpful for trips that have a long travel time where you may not have guaranteed access to wall outlets to power your devices.
We recommend anywhere from 20,000 mAh to 30,000 mAh and 65W to 100W for trips with extended travel time. This level of charging capacity helps give you peace of mind during travel (which is already stressful as it is) and guarantees that you will not have to rely on wall sockets for your devices or for a recharge to your power bank.
For a shorter trip, you may not need as much mAh and wattage in your power bank. We recommend a range of 6000 mAh to 10,000 mAh and 20W to 45W for trips with a shorter travel time. These types of power banks hold plenty of energy to guarantee 1 or 2 full charges to your smartphone without needing to be recharged. That should be plenty of power to get you to your destination and within reach of a wall outlet.
Devices are particularly important during business trips. You may need your phone to link up with colleagues and your computer to get tasks done. For that reason, you may want to choose a power bank that has a high mAh to last multiple charging cycles, and that can power a variety of devices.
We once again recommend a 20,000 mAh to 30,000 mAh and 65W to 100W power bank for business trips. It may also be useful in these cases to have multiple power banks dedicated to each of your devices. Our Baseus Blade Laptop Power Bank has a charging capacity of 20,000 mAh and 100W, making it an excellent source of energy for your laptop while your phone is linked up to another portable charger.
When it comes to parties and small day trips, you will not need a portable charger with a huge charging capacity. We once again recommend a range of 6000 mAh to 10,000 mAh and 20W to 45W. Our Baseus Magnetic Foldable Power Bank, with a 10,000 mAh and 20W capacity, is particularly convenient for parties and other outings thanks to its ability to fold up and be used as a kickstand. Easily stored in your. it utilizes a magnetic connection to secure strongly to your device, providing a fast charge without interrupting your device usage.
All You Need to Know About Power Bank
Power banks allow you to charge your devices on the go. With a power bank in hand, you can juice up and continue to use your devices without worrying whether or not there will be outlets nearby to keep you going.
Power banks, also known as portable chargers, operate in a similar fashion to your bank account, hence their name. They act as a storage facility for energy. You can use the electrical energy stored within your power bank to charge your devices anytime and anywhere. This is largely thanks to a special type of circuit contained within the power bank itself that controls the flow of energy.
The process is really quite simple and consists of 3 parts: energy absorption, energy storage, and energy release.
Before you head out on any excursion, whether it’s a business trip, a day out with friends, or any other instance where you may find yourself without ready access to outlets, charge up your power bank through an external power supply like a wall socket. The energy will be stored within the portable charger in a chemical form, ready to be passed into your device at any moment when it is connected to the charger via an output port.
A fast charging power bank is exactly what its name implies: a portable charger that can juice up your devices at a much faster rate than simple wall chargers. These power banks utilize a higher voltage and essentially increase the number of watts being pumped into your device to charge it up more quickly than average.
Wireless power banks are extremely convenient for those who hate traveling around with tons of wires. Rather than getting all tangled up in wires every time you need to charge your devices, simply rely on a wireless power bank. Though they do require a USB to charge themselves, these handy gadgets have the ability to charge your devices through contact alone, with no wired connection required. Battery cases that attach to the back of your phone are one common example of wireless power banks.
To understand the question, we first need to take a look at mAh. The unit mAh is also known as a milliamp hour, and it refers to the charging capacity of a power bank. It indicates how much energy can be transferred from your power bank to another device over time. And, of course, the higher the mAh of a power bank, the more energy it can provide.
Today’s average smartphone has a battery capacity of 2,800 mAh. With that number in mind, let’s break down the charging output you can expect from these common types of power banks:
- 6000 mAh: 2 full smartphone charges before power bank recharge required.
- 10,000 mAh: About 3.5 smartphone charges before a power bank recharge is required.
- 20,000 mAh: 7 full smartphone charges before power bank recharge is required.
- 30,000 mAh: Nearly 11 full smartphone charges before a power bank recharge is required.
The lifespan of a power bank may vary depending on various factors, such as quality, build, battery capacity, type of battery, and how the power bank is used. The average lifespan range for a power bank may be anywhere from 1.5 to 3 years or 300 to 1000 charge cycles. It’s important to remember that charge cycles are likely the most accurate representation of lifespan. This is because some may use a power bank more frequently than others, making years an inaccurate depiction of the lifespan that does not factor in usage.
To increase the lifespan of your power bank, remember to take good care of it. Here are a few useful tips to help you make the most out of your portable chargers:
- Do not use a power bank to charge your devices above 80%.
- Do not leave power banks in extremely hot or cold temperatures.
- Do not let your power bank reach 0%.
- Do not bring your power bank in contact with liquids of any kind.
With power banks and other types of batteries, the first thing you need to worry about in terms of wattage is the watt-hour. Watt-hours indicate how much energy you can get out of a battery and the rate at which that energy will be transmitted from the power bank to your device.
The second thing to worry about when it comes to wattage in your power bank is the overall energy capacity. Oftentimes, the wattage of a power bank refers to its maximum charging output. This may be higher or lower depending on how the power bank is being used. When used as a means of gaining energy from an external source, the maximum wattage output may be higher than when it is used as a power bank on its own. So, if you used a dual 45W power bank, you might expect the energy output to reach up to 45W when used as a charging station from an external source and up to 30W when used as a standalone power bank.
If you’re wondering how to charge your power bank, we’re here to help you there too. To juice up your portable charger, simply connect it to an external power source like a wall socket, just like you would with your devices. This will allow it to absorb and subsequently store electrical energy to then be transferred to your device of choice later on when needed.
