Although they didn’t make it into our top picks, we also liked a few other MagSafe power banks.
Sharji Ice Mug $60: I’ve always had a soft spot for Sharge’s translucent cyberpunk aesthetic, but the Icemag has RGB lighting and a tiny fan built in. It charges your iPhone at 7.5 watts and has 20 watts of wired charging with a decent 10,000mAh capacity. But it’s relatively bulky and the fan makes a high-pitched noise that you can only hear if you’re in a quiet place, and while it does keep the power bank cool, my iPhone 14 Pro still got very hot. I like the look and think the cooling fan is a good idea, but the design could be improved.
Burga Magnetic Power Bank $80: If you can’t imagine putting an ugly, flaky plug on your iPhone, you might want to splurge on Burga’s stylish MagSafe power bank. Combining tempered glass and anodized steel, this cute power bank comes in a wide range of eye-catching designs. The camouflage model I tested has a strong magnet and was able to wirelessly charge my iPhone 14 Pro from fully charged to about 70% (7.5 watts). The USB-C port can also deliver 20 watts. The problem is the relatively high price for a relatively small 5,000mAh capacity.
Groov-e Power Bank, £25: This affordable MagSafe charger is only available in the UK, but it has a display that shows the exact percentage remaining and has a 10,000mAh capacity. It supports wireless charging at up to 15 watts (7.5 watts for iPhones), and the USB-C port can charge devices at up to 20 watts. It’s a bit bulky, but the magnets are strong and worked well in our testing, fully charging our iPhone 14 Pro with about 30 percent left.
UGreen Magnetic Power Bank $30: It doesn’t get any worse than UGreen’s affordable MagSafe power bank (and if it’s on sale, it’s a steal). The 5,000 mAh capacity model charges at 7.5 watts wirelessly and up to 15 watts wired. I also tested the 10,000 mAh model ($50), which pushes wired charging up to 20 watts. Performance and design are average with no major flaws, but UGreen opted to print all of its legal information on the back (where you can see it), which looks a bit shoddy to me.
Belkin BoostCharge wireless power bank on sale for $50With a 5,000mAh capacity and a handy kickstand, this MagSafe power bank is a steal. I like the color choices (especially the purple), but the magnets feel a little weak and the kickstand works best in landscape (it feels wonky in portrait). It didn’t come close to fully charging my iPhone 14 Pro.
Bezalel Prelude XR Wireless Power Bank, $100: Bezalel’s clever X Series includes two MagSafe power banks and a wireless charging plug. The XR I tested has a 10,000 mAh capacity, while the smaller X ($80) has just 5,000 mAh. The XR is bulky and the kickstand feels flimsy, but it delivers more than enough power to fully charge an iPhone 14 Pro. Both power banks charge iPhones at 7.5 watts and other Qi wireless phones at up to 15 watts. You can also plug in your AirPods on the other side to charge them at 3 watts. There’s also a USB-C port that can deliver 20 watts.
Mophie Snap+ Juice Pack Mini for $36: This 5,000mAh-capacity power bank is great but too big. It works with MagSafe-enabled iPhones, but comes with an optional attachment for non-MagSafe phones. Mophie’s Snap+ Powerstation Stand ($70) has double the capacity and a kickstand, but is larger.
RapidX Boosta Power Bank $30: Available in bright colors, this MagSafe power bank delivers 5,000mAh of power and has an optional charging stand with a slide-in USB-C jack. The portable charger topped off my iPhone 14 Pro’s battery to 76%, although wired USB-C charging is limited to 10 watts.
