Best MagSafe portable battery packs and power banks for iPhone 12, 13, 14 and 15 (3)

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, 14 and 15 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, 14 and 15 models, from the mini to the Pro Max. It allows accessories to connect magnetically to the back of the iPhone. For more information read our Complete guide to Apple MagSafe: What is MagSafe?

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. Standard Qi wireless charging can lose as much as 50% of the portable battery’s power, MagSafe and Qi2 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.

Certified MagSafe or MagSafe compatible

If a power bank is rated as MagSafe Certified it will wirelessly charge at up to 15W. Uncertified “compatible” magnetic chargers are limited to 7.5W, so will power-up at a slower pace. New Qi2 chargers and power banks can match MagSafe at 15W. See Is Qi2 as fast as MagSafe?.

We have listed the speeds at which each portable power bank can be charged itself (Input charger) and charge the iPhone (Output charger). Some power banks can charge a phone faster if you connect a cable, and we have highlighted those below.

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.

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.

Also check out our tests of the best iPhone chargers for wired charging solutions, and of course to refill your iPhone power bank.

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.

Colors: White, Black, Green, Yellow

Compatibility: All iPhone 12, 13, 14 and 15 models

This iPhone power bank has a huge capacity, refilling a faded iPhone 15 Pro twice over in our tests—the best we’ve seen, although the Anker MagGo Power Bank performed extremely closely. We run the iPhone down to 10%, recharge using the power bank, and keep doing this until the power bank is empty.

It is MagSafe compatible and can wirelessly charge an iPhone at 7.5W, or a super speedy 30W when connected via USB-C—again, the best we’ve yet seen. What makes this power bank even more special is its short built-in USB-C cable that can be used for fast-charging an iPhone 15 or refilling the power bank itself. The 5.5-inch cable can be neatly hooked into the battery pack’s USB-C port for easy carrying.

Wirelessly it will work with any MagSafe iPhone (12/13/14/15). iPhone 15 users can connect via the integrated USB-C cable or a separate longer cable if required, for the fastest charging. Owners of earlier iPhones can use a USB-C to Lightning cable instead for fast 30W wired charging from the power bank.

While its wired charging is fastest, the Qi2 Anker MagGo Power Bank, reviewed below, is twice as fast when clamped on for wireless charging.

It’s reasonably chunky—twice as thick as the old Apple Battery Pack—but around the same as any other 10000mAh MagSafe power banks we’ve tested. It just fits in a trouser pocket while connected but if you want a slimmer battery pack, look for a smaller 5000mAh option.

This power bank is clearly built for the iPhone 15 family—with its neat integrated USB-C cable—but it works as well as any other wireless power bank tested here with the other MagSafe iPhones, and that built-in cable can be used to charge the power bank itself.

At present it’s available in the U.S. only.

Around the same size as the Baseus Magnetic Power Bank, reviewed above, the Anker MagGo Power Bank (10K) didn’t quite match that battery pack in terms of recharging but was still impressive.

Where it beats the Baseus is in wireless charging speed. MagSafe compatible, the Baseus is limited to 7.5W wireless charging, while the Anker is certified for the new Qi2 standard and so supports 15W wireless charging. This works with all MagSafe-supporting devices: from the iPhone 12 to 15. (Note that the iPhone 12 doesn’t officially support Qi2 but Macworld iPhone 12 Qi2 tests suggest that it does.)

The Baseus power bank has a slightly more powerful cabled charging spec (30W vs Anker’s 27W) but the difference is negligible. We like the integrated USB-C cable included with the Baseus, but any decent USB-C charging cable can be used with the Anker to fast-wired-charge an iPhone.

Aside from faster wireless charging, the Anker boasts two handy features missing from the Baseus: an LED display that shows you exactly how much charge is left in the battery pack, and a solid pull-out stand at the back.

If you want speedy wireless charging, the Qi2 Anker MagGo Power Bank is as fast as you’ll get with a portable battery pack.

While 10000mAh power banks boast larger re-charging capacity, if you want a slightly smaller and lighter battery pack with a stand, we recommend you choose 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, reviewed below, but the Belkin wins the battle of the MagSafe kickstand power banks.

This 5K battery pack is slim enough to clamp to your iPhone and still slip into your pocket.

It features 7.5W wireless charging when clamped to the back of an iPhone, and 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.

Bigger and meaner than the Baseus Magnetic Power Bank, the Raycon 5-in-1 Power Bank can charge five devices simultaneously: two through the USB-C and USB-A ports, one wirelessly through MagSafe, and two through the built-in cables.

In our tests, it was very close in battery charging power to the Baseus—charging an iPhone 15 Pro nearly twice over.

It claims to offer 15W of wireless power but isn’t officially certified by Apple. However, it does show the MagSafe charging logo at the beginning of a charge and so may have circumvented certification and yet still boast a fast wireless charge.

It features built-in U.S. plug prongs so can be connected straight into a power socket rather than requiring a separate USB-C charger. This is fine for users based in the U.S. or Canada, but international users will have to use the USB-C port with a travel adapter that could end up too wobbly when hanging on to a power socket.

Also integrated are two output cables: one USB-C for iPhone 15 and one Lightning for older iPhones and Apple devices. If you don’t have any Lightning-based devices then this will be superfluous, although friends in need of power may thank you if their iPhones are older. Most people’s AirPods are still Lightning based, so you may well find a use for it.

The power bank even features a handy pull-out phone clip that holds your phone upright, although the placement of the cables means the battery pack can’t charge your phone while it’s in the mini stand.

Unlike some of the more svelte power banks reviewed here—even the Baseus Power Bank—the Raycon 5-in-1 Power Bank is too big and bulky to let you slip the iPhone plus battery pack into your pocket—even a slim coat pocket might strain to hold both. As a portable power bank you might carry in a bag on your travels, it could keep as many as five devices charged up long enough for you to reach the next fixed power source.

As the built-in plug prongs work in the U.S. and Canada only, it’s not much help to international buyers. An alternative that does fare better around the world is the Journey Axie 3-in-1 Global Wall Charger & 10k mAh Power Bank, reviewed lower down, which is about the same size and weight and features a built-in USB-C cable and a USB-C port plus of course features a wireless charging pad. While the Raycon can service five devices, the Journey can cope with only three but it does have plug heads for U.S., U.K., E.U. and Australia/NZ. It is also faster at charging via USG, with a maximum 35W output that’s enough for even a 13-inch MacBook!

While a little bigger and 25% heavier than the Belkin BoostCharge and Anker MagGo 622, the the oddly named Benks MagClap StandGo Power Bank’s battery capacity is twice that of its rivals—and beat the fellow 10K Alogic Lift and OneAdaptr OneGo battery packs in our recharging tests. Where the 5K Belkin recharged a faded iPhone 13 Pro by 90%, the 10K Benks boosted it by a whopping 160%.

It also boasts two USB ports. You recharge the battery pack itself via the USB-C port at 20W, and you can also use this port for faster-than-wireless cable charging, also at 20W when you’re in a hurry for power. The bonus USB-A port can charge at 18W, so you could charge three devices simultaneously at decent speeds.

At the time of writing, the choice of colors is quite arbitrary. U.S. buyers can choose from all three, while the U.K. gets black only, and some other countries, just blue.

We have tested a lot of great portable MagSafe wireless chargers but this is the smallest iPhone and Apple Watch charger that doubles up as a power bank. The Alogic Lift 4-in-1 MagSafe Power Bank is very similar but lacks the vertical charging stand and AirPods-charging facility. The OtterBox 2-in-1 Power Bank with MagSafe is a faster-charging but larger alternative. Both are reviewed below.

Yes, it’s a little larger and certainly heavier than most of the wireless power banks reviewed here, but it’s a neat solution if you are away from a power source when either—or both—your Apple devices pings you that terrifying Low Power Mode suggestion.

The Apple Watch charging module flips up from the back of the power bank’s pull-out stand and feels robust enough to survive in-bag travel. It charges at 2W rather than 5W so doesn’t support Apple Watch Fast Charge but it will inject the juice that your Watch requires when you need it—no Move calorie counting or Exercise minutes need be missed.

There is one USB port (the Alogic Lift has two) for input or faster wired iPhone charging (18W).

In our tests, using an iPhone 15 Pro, the power bank wirelessly charged close to 150%. There are 10K battery packs that offer greater charging power: the Baseus Magnetic Power Bank (187%) and Benks MagClap StandGo (160%) both offer better performance but lack the extra USB port, Apple Watch charger and AirPods charging base stand.

One USB-C port is for input or faster wired iPhone charging (18W); and the USB-A port is there for older charging cables. You could use either port to charge your AirPods or another iPhone. While you can use both at the same time, simultaneous USB charging does drop power pace to just 5W.

Similar to the Raycon 5-in-1 Magic Power Bank, reviewed above, is the Journey Axie 3-in-1 Global Wall Charger & 10k mAh Power Bank, which is about the same size and weight and features a detachable USB-C cable and a USB-C port plus of course features a wireless charging pad, and can plug directly into a wall power socket.

It lacks the Raycon’s extra Lightning cable—which anyway is useful only for owners of iPhones older than the iPhone 15 or for charging your old AirPods case—and has one fewer spare USB-C port and no USB-A port.

Where it does beat the Raycon is its included international plug heads that slip onto the integrated US prongs. It even comes in a nice travel case to keep everything together, which is handy as the nice white finish could get messed up at the bottom of a backpack.

It can charge at up to 35W via USB-C, so can be used to charge a 13-inch MacBook when plugged into a power socket. The wireless charger is non-operational when the Axie used as a wall charger.

Charging via USB-C is certainly the fastest way to charge an iPhone. When charging three devices, 15W of power is shared the two USB-C ports, plus the 7.5W of wireless charging.

The Anker MagGo 622 Magnetic Battery is available in multiple muted colors: white, purple, green, blue and gray.

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.

if you want ultra-charging power, consider the Benks MagClap StandGo Power Bank (also reviewed above) with its powerful 10000mAh battery. Other 10K MagSafe power banks include the OneAdaptr OneGo and Alogic Lift, both reviewed below.

The stand folds away so that it can be popped in a pocket to be magnetically clamped to the phone when you need it most.

In our battery tests, the 622 managed to charge a drained iPhone to 80% of full power, which is a decent power-up while you journey to the nearest fixed power socket.

The Anker battery is rated at 19.13Wh (5000mAh) but, like all the other wireless chargers loses a decent chunk of that power to environmental factors.

It ships with a 60cm USB-C cable.

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 one of the other MagSafe power banks reviewed here, although none boast the dual wallet/stand function.

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.

This power bank features a solid built-in stand that looks like it might also charge an AirPods case but it’s a single-device wireless charger. You can charge AirPods on it but not at the same time as your iPhone.

Based on the Qi2 standard it can charge at 15W, much faster than the majority MagSafe-compatible power banks reviewed here.

While fast and solidly built, it is quite chunky compared to other sub-10K power banks. It is more a 15W wireless charging stand that can occasionally be taken with you as a power bank rather than a battery pack that you keep clamped on your phone as you might with a slim 5K power bank.

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 (now discontinued) 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 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.

An alternative is the OneAdaptr OneGo, reviewed above, which is also a combo charging stand and magnetic power bank that goes one further with a charger for the Apple Watch, and is a more portable total package.

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, 14 or 15 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.

Too bulky to attach to your iPhone and stay on while the phone is carried about, the Chargeasap Flash Pro Plus is not a proper battery pack like the others we have tested but is still portable and MagSafe compatible.

What it does offer is a massive battery capacity of 92.5Wh (25,000mAh), which should be enough to get you through a weekend festival.

It also can be recharged to go again, incredibly quickly. This power bank has graphene-composite technology inside, and so can be charged at much lower temperatures than lithium-polymer, which means it can also charge significantly faster.

Instead of taking three or four hours to recharge, with its 100W USB-C Power Delivery 3.0 inputs, in our tests this got from zero to 100% in 50 minutes, or to 80% in 45 mins.

Boasting five lithium-polymer graphene-composite battery cells that have been designed in partnership with Tesla and Panasonic, the Chargeasap Flash Pro Plus is priced accordingly, which isn’t surprising for gadgets based on the latest technologies. Graphene-composite batteries have a lifespan four times longer than lithium-polymer, rated for 2,000 cycles, which means they could keep going at full-pelt for five years or more.

It can charge a MagSafe iPhone at 7.5W and an Apple Watch at 5W, and has a large array of OLED percentage displays. With an array of outputs, it can charge up to six devices at the same time.

How we tested

MagSafe charger testing was conducted using an iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro, subscribed to a 5G network and WiFi, with screen off and all default settings.

Our test is a simple battery recharge shootout. We let our test-unit iPhone Pro (3,095mAh battery capacity) drain to just 10% and then set the Battery Pack to work recharging the phone.

We then assigned the charger a score of whatever percentage it managed to charge the iPhone to and subtract the 10%; we test each model at least twice.

It’s not a real-world test of day-to-day use where you’ll likely be using your phone for various tasks (of varying battery usage) and in different environmental conditions and network configurations.

But it does give us a common score format that we can use to compare different battery-pack models.

Why comparing Watt Hours are better than Milliamp Hours

Phone batteries are generally rated in Milliamp Hours (mAh) but this is a measure of electrical charge, while a Watt Hour is equal to one watt of energy consumed for one hour of time.

When comparing battery capacities and how much a power pack will boost a phone’s internal battery, energy is more important than electrical charge.

And mAh ignores a battery voltage, which determines the wattage (power) of a battery.

If the mAh is the same, the higher the voltage, the greater the actual stored power.

For example, Apple’s MagSafe Battery Pack is rated at just 1,460mAh but it has a higher voltage potential (7.62V) than the iPhone (3.81V) or other battery packs, meaning that it can provide more power to an iPhone than its mAh suggests; in fact, it is actually 2,920mAh.
