All in all, I think this accessory is incredible and its application will benefit virtually anyone because we have all found ourselves in a pinch before when it comes to dead devices.Īn almost perfect MagSafe battery pack Nine months after Apple debuted MagSafe on the iPhone 12 line, we still haven't seen any killer accessories that utilize it. Better yet, utilizing this battery pack while using an almost-dead device at home is like “cheating the system” because you don’t have to get up and plug anything into a wall charger. That being said, some of my main uses are when I know I’ll be away from a charger for a long time or whenever I go on trips. These massively capable battery packs will always be heavy. Now, the other issue of it being clunky is not solved here and quite frankly, that shouldn’t be surprising. It simply attaches to the back of your phone via MagSafe and those magnets won’t allow it to go anywhere unless you really try to pry it off. A MagSafe-compatible external battery pack solves one of those issues in that you no longer have to worry about carrying a big standalone battery that is just way too cumbersome. Most people with external battery packs refrain from carrying them around for obvious reasons they’re too big and clunky. Incredible Accessory External battery packs are nothing new to behold but this MagSafe iteration is something that will save many of us from being lost in the middle of nowhere, being out of contact with our loved ones, or whatever else a dead cell phone can bring us. The ONLY minor request I'd have would be to include a bag of some sort to avoid scuff marks inside my backpack. Incidentally, it also perfectly charges my work iPhone XR, although without the magnet (the XR does not have MagSafe, just standard Qi charging).

You can also pick it up and it stays in place. Although the device is heavy for its weight, it still stays securely attached. I appreciate the USB-C cable that was shipped with the charger!Īlso, like most recent MagSafe items, this charger has a magnet that both orients the device and keeps it stuck in place. I like the side LED light to instantly show the battery level, and the 2 USB ports - classic and USB-C - are very handy based upon which cables you happen to have with you.

I'm using Apple's iPhone 12 Pro Max Clear case and there is still room to spare (I'd estimate 2mm). That notch on the back serves an important purpose: to avoid the camera bump and allow the iPhone to lay flat. I'm mostly using it to top off my iPhone 12 Pro Max, but it came in very handy after a heavy morning of recording video and photos. I have carried this in my backpack for a week now, and the initial charge has lasted the entire time with use throughout the week. Now that I've been using it for about a week, I understand the designs, and I can highly recommend this charger!įirst, the weight is because batteries are, by their nature, heavy, and this design by Belkin is quite rugged.

Thoughtful design that functions as expected When I first unboxed the Magnetic Portable Wireless Charger 10K, I noticed two things: it's far heavier than I expected, and it has a weird notch on the charging side. Keep charging your phone even when the power bank itself needs recharging, thanks to pass-through power technology.įully recharge the iPhone 12 two times, and get up to an additional 22 hours of wireless streamed video, or up to 34 hours of video playback. Plug the charger in at home or in your office to use as a wireless charging pad, or disconnect and take it with you as a power bank. Get the best of both charging worlds with a dual-function charging pad and power bank. When the pad needs a recharge, pass-through power allows you to plug it in while still powering your phone, so you never have to wait to charge. Perfect magnetic alignment every time allows you to keep using your phone while it charges without detaching it from the pad, and a slim, portable design fits easily in your purse or pocket. Designed for the iPhone 12 series, this MagSafe compatible wireless charging pad doubles as a 10K power bank to take with you anywhere.
