ANKER MAGGO 10K SLIM POWER BANK: THIN YET POWERFUL iPHONE MAGNETIC BATTERY PACK

December 2024

At just 0.58 inches (less than 1.5cm) thick, this 10000mAh magnetic power bank rivals even some of the 5000mAh magnetic battery packs for slimness. It's also lighter in weight than any other 10K wireless power bank that we have tested, performed best for recharging power, and can wired-charge an iPhone at 30W.

ANKER MAGGO 10K SLIM POWER BANK: THIN YET POWERFUL iPHONE MAGNETIC BATTERY PACK

The Anker MagGo 10K Slim Power Bank uses fast Qi2 magnetic tech, so it can wirelessly charge at an impressive 15W. Only Apple's wired MagSafe Charger can charge faster wirelessly at 25W, and using that you'll need a separate power bank to carry with you on the go.

If you have a spare cable with you, the Anker power bank can charge even faster at 30W via its USB-C port. This makes it a faster wireless charger than the Baseus Magnetic Power Bank that heads our list of the best MagSafe power banks. The Anker MagGo Slim is a serious contender for that crown and is my personal choice to carry in my backpack.

ANKER MAGGO SLIM 10K VERSUS BASEUS 10K POWER BANK

Our two favorite magnetic power banks are now this slim Anker 10K MagGo model and one from Baseus that cleverly includes a built-in USB-C cable.

The Baseus 10K Power Bank (fave.co/4flz15x) is more convenient with its cable as you can charge your iPhone 15 or 16 at 30W while it is clamped to the back of the battery pack. With the built-in cable, you don't even need to resort to the wireless charging, although you could wirelessly charge an iPhone 12, 13, 14, 15, or 16 and use the USB-C to charge another compatible device. It mostly benefits owners of those more recent iPhones that feature an onboard USB-C charging port rather than the old-style Lightning port found on earlier iPhones.
