Best MagSafe power banks for 2025 — Anker MagGo 10K tops our list
After testing more than 50 portable batteries over the years, we focused on MagSafe-compatible banks as the iPhone 17 (rumored to be the thinnest yet) approaches. Our current top pick is the Anker MagGo 10K (Qi2) — it pairs large capacity with fast charging, and includes useful extras like a stand and a display.
Quick highlights
- Anker MagGo 10K (Qi2) — Big capacity (10,000mAh), Qi2/MagSafe compatibility, fast charging, built-in stand and display.
- Good options for minimalists: 5,000mAh slim MagSafe banks.
- Budget picks: Smaller-capacity magnetic banks that keep weight and cost down.
What to consider before buying
- Capacity: 5,000mAh vs 10,000mAh. Expect ~60% delivery for wireless banks due to conversion/heat loss. A 5K bank can add ~85–90 percentage points to an iPhone 16; a 10K can fully charge it once and add ~50–60% again.
- MagSafe vs Qi2: MagSafe is Apple’s magnetic alignment tech (up to 15W). Qi2 is a WPC standard that mirrors MagSafe specs; iPhone 13+ are Qi2 compatible. A new Qi2 25W standard is due in fall 2025.
- Travel rules: TSA allows power banks up to 100 Wh (~27,000mAh) in carry-on. Some airlines may add restrictions — keep banks visible while charging and avoid checked luggage.
- Extras: Stands, LED displays, straps and cases can be handy — choose what fits your routine.
