We liked a few other MagSafe power banks that didn’t quite make it into our top picks.
Sharge Icemag for $60: I am usually a sucker for Sharge’s translucent cyberpunk aesthetic, and the Icemag has RGB lighting and a tiny fan inside! It charges iPhones at 7.5 watts and offers 20-watt wired charging with an ample 10,000-mAh capacity. But it is relatively bulky, and the fan emits a high-pitched whine. You will only hear it if you are somewhere quiet, and while it keeps the power bank cool, my iPhone 14 Pro still got very warm. I love the look and think the cooling fan is a solid idea, but the design could be improved.
Burga Magnetic Power Bank for $80: If you are appalled at the idea of attaching an ugly limpet to your iPhone, you might consider splashing out for one of Burga’s stylish MagSafe power banks. A mix of tempered glass and anodized steel, these pretty power banks come in a wide range of eye-catching designs. The camo model I tested had strong magnets and charged my iPhone 14 Pro wirelessly (7.5 watts) to around 70 percent from dead. The USB-C port can also supply 20 watts. The catch is the relatively high price for the relatively low 5,000-mAh capacity.
Groov-e Power Bank for £25: This affordable MagSafe charger is only available in the UK, but it offers a decent 10,000-mAh capacity with a display that shows the precise percentage remaining. You can get up to 15 watts wireless charging (7.5 watts for iPhones), and the USB-C port can charge devices at up to 20 watts. It’s a little bulky, but the magnets are strong, and it worked well when tested, offering a full charge for my iPhone 14 Pro with around 30 percent left.
UGreen Magnetic Power Bank for $30: You can do worse than UGreen’s affordable MagSafe power banks (if you catch them on sale, they are a bargain). The 5,000-mAh capacity model charges wirelessly at 7.5 watts and wired at up to 15 watts. I also tested the 10,000-mAh model ($50), which pushes wired charging up to 20 watts. The performance and design are average with no major flaws, though UGreen chose to print all the legal info on the back, which is the part you see, and it looks a bit ugly to me.
Belkin BoostCharge Wireless Power Bank for $50: With a 5,000-mAh capacity and a handy kickstand, this MagSafe power bank is decent. I like the choice of colors (especially purple), but the magnets feel a bit weak, and the kickstand works best in landscape (it feels unstable in portrait). It fell well short of a full charge for my iPhone 14 Pro.
Bezalel Prelude XR Wireless Power Bank for $100: The clever X range from Bezalel includes two MagSafe power banks and a wireless charging plug. The XR, which I tested, has a 10,000-mAh capacity, while the smaller X ($80) makes do with 5,000 mAh. The XR is bulky, and the kickstand feels flimsy, but it offers 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, plus you can pop your AirPods on the other side to charge at 3 watts. They also have USB-C ports that can deliver 20 watts.
Mophie Snap+ Juice Pack Mini for $36: This 5,000-mAh-capacity power bank works well, but it’s a little bigger than it should be. It works with MagSafe iPhones but comes with an optional attachment for non-MagSafe phones. Mophie’s Snap+ Powerstation Stand ($70) offers double the capacity and a kickstand, but it’s chunky.
RapidX Boosta Power Bank for $30: Available in some bright colors, this MagSafe power bank delivers 5,000 mAh of power, and there’s an optional charging stand with a USB-C jack that you can slide it onto. This portable charger added a respectable 76 percent to my iPhone 14 Pro’s battery, but the wired USB-C charging is limited to 10 watts.
