Anker 621 Magnetic Portable Charger (MagGo), 5,000mAh Wireless Power Bank with USB-C Cable, Magsafe-Compatible Battery Pack for iPhone 16 /15/14/13/12 Series

I bought two of these batteries despite the complaints of heat and minimal battery charging. After using them for a while, I feel I’ve found the ideal way to use them with my iPhone 15 Pro Max.To get the best performance out of these battery packs, I wait until my battery is at or below 20% state of charge before slapping on the battery. This will ensure that all of the power will be transferred to my phone in the fastest, safest, and most efficient way possible. (Lithium Ion batteries work the fastest when charging from 20-80%). The end result is a phone battery that recharges to 80% before the pack runs dry. This is enough to get me through the rest of the day.In addition to the above, I remove my phone case while charging. A phone case introduces resistance which in turn creates the heat so many people complain about. Simply removing the case solves the heat problem for me.Doing the above has made this battery pack a convenient way to top up mid day without the need to carry around a giant auxiliary battery pack and charge cable. I’m sure there’s room for improvement but the product as is works just fine if you do it correctly.

Just received this to replace another same type battery but that one would go on then just shut off for no apparent reason. I do have an IP-12 and i use a pretty heavy case so i wasn’t sure how these type of batteries were going to work.I installed the metal ring on back of case and as it held battery ok it just wouldn’t charge. So i bought this Anker to try it as i do like Anker batteries. Well right away it stuck right to my case and immediately started to charge. I was still skeptical. I just waiting to see if it shuts off and it never really did. Yes it gets warm just like the other battery, but that’s the characteristic of this type of charging. But I have to tell you this thing grips much better than the other battery I had, maybe it has something to do with being a MagSafe battery I don’t know that’s why I wanted to try the Anker as its not a Magsafe but a Maggo and boast that it has a much stronger magnet, and I can Contest to that. It’s not the fastest charger but it does charge. It is probably taking me an hour and a half hour to go from 60% to 95% for me that’s OK. It’s meant to be more of a rescue battery to basically get you through the rest of your day, my phone that has relatively small battery. This battery probably would charge it fully but The newer phones have larger batteries. This probably will maybe get you 80% which is just enough to get you through the rest of your day.Yes, heat is a factor and some people complain about it and some people understand It’s a necessary phenomenon in this kind of charging, this case with the heat temperature gun i saw134 degrees at its peak but it does go thru cycles of heat and cool as internal thermostat kicks in. To me thats a minor inconvenience, but it does not heat up your phone. The heat stays within the battery itself and it does not radiate to your phone. So far so good i using it now to write this and as the charge percent is not rising as fast as it did when I wasn’t using the phone. It’s basically holding the percent at one particular spot right now.So in closing, if you have a heavy duty case, try it, it might work get the rings and put them on the back of your case and see what happens. My rings came with a template which is not easy to use with a heavier case so what I did is I attach the ring to the actual battery And I moved the battery on the back of the case where I found a nice spot where the phone always went on charge every time I hit that spot and then I remove the plastic on the ring went back to push the battery down on that spot removed it push the ring down by hand make sure it was good And that’s it, sometimes that’s more accurate than using a template. I do agree that the thickness of the case plays a big roll in whether this will work or not, but what do you got to lose if it doesn’t work you can return the battery or buy a new case that’s thinner and will work better.

I don’t review many things. But, this charger is designed super well. Strong Magnet, works as described, and looks great. You can keep it on your phone and turn it off while still attached if you want, so you don’t have to carry the thing around like a big brick, it just stays on your phone. You can charge it while it’s on your phone too, which charges both your phone and the Anker charger as well. And wow, this magnet is strong. It’s strong enough to hold the weight of my phone if im just holding the charger. Works well as a grip too for those of you that go caseless and are worried about dropping your phone. Not to mention that this thing is only $40 too. Some of the best money I’ve spent. Only thing that could make it any better is if it had a magnet on the back to attach to a stand or something for hands-free in the car. Overall, if you’re looking between this and another charger like it, I’d say this one is a no-brainer.

Anker is a top brand of chargers in my opinion and everything I have purchased from them has been perfect. The cost is considerably less than the charger from the big name brand that makes my phone and yet it works perfectly and does exactly what I need it to do. I travel frequently and this will ensure that when I land after a long international flight, my phone will be full charged and ready to go. This keeps me from having to get my cables out and hoping the plane has working plugs – a challenge on occasion. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a small, lightweight Mag-safe type charger for their phone.

My friend let me borrow this charger during class when my phone was almost dead. After using it, I immediately went home and bought one. It is the most convenient portable charger I have ever used. I have a big Otterbox case on my iPhone 14 Pro, and the charger magnetically attaches to the back of my phone and starts charging right away. No fumbling with wires or holding a big batter pack in one hand or your pocket while your phone is charging in the other. The charger snaps on the back, and you pull it off when you’re done. I recommend this charger to everyone I know.

While overall, this is a good MagSafe charger for the price, my one complaint is that it gets considerably hot after only a couple minutes of using. The heat is bearable, but it was definitely noticeable.

Great portable charger for on the go charging. This is a very convenient accessory to have, especially while traveling or going to concerts/events. It’s so much more affordable than buying a bulky charging case that can cost anywhere from $70-$120. Got it on sale too so that was a plus. Charges your phone to about 80% when dead.

Works as expected, I can charge my phone 1/2 times from this. I wish it had more capacity, but it would mean a bigger charger and I like the size.It does get a bit warm and I would still suggest using a cable, if it gets offset from the phone it won’t charge.

It’s a great battery so far it’s a nice replacement from my mophie one but it has some negatives from my mophie one but it has more positivesPros:-it’s very slim-it charges 5w-7.5w wirelessly-Very strong magnets-very strong usbc port-Doesn’t interact with the camera bump on my 13 mini-really nice materials and build quality-it has pass through charging (when plugged in it can charge itself and my phone at the same time-it has a rubber type material so on the non matte back iPhones it will grip on more making it harder to slide offCons:-it charges very slow im using a 45w ac adapter and it seems to be charging at 20w my mophie one can charge at 45w for 2 hour charging time the anker one has been on the charger for 2 hours and just got to the 3rd led-it gets warm when charging my mini but if you have a bigger phone your phone won’t get as hot when chargingMisc:-it turns on automatic my when i put it on the back of my phone but before that I can turn it on with the button and hold the button so it won’t turn on until I want to use it-the button is very clicks and solid-the leds are bright enough but hard to see outdoors-it doesn’t have the official MagSafe charging animation

I actually bought the Apple MagSafe Battery Pack to compare with this charger for my Iphone 14 Pro and I’ll be judging it based on a variety of factors:Price: Anker wins. $37 vs $99 makes it almost 3x cheaper.Size and Weight: Tie. Surprisingly very similar to Apple in weight. The thickness is pretty much the same which is the most important as you want to be able to use it comfortably while holding the phone and charger. Anker is a bit longer and very slightly wider, but this doesn’t really make a difference as it fits on the phone.Looks and Feel: Apple wins. The Anker feels nice and grippy, but Apple’s form factor definitely wins out. I notice that fingerprints definitely show up more on the Anker and not really at all for Apple. This is the least important category for me.Battery Life: Anker wins. Apple notably doesn’t list its battery life for its charger, but it’s definitely less than 5000mAh. 5000mAh is enough for a little more than a full charge for my Iphone 14 pro and from my testing (charging up from 10% to 100%), Apple capacity’s seems to be about 55-65% of a full charge.Charging Speed: Tie. They’re both pretty slow, but that’s a given for wireless magsafe charging.UI and Battery Advantages: Apple wins. Apple’s charger is obviously designed to work with Iphones and it shows with the audio cue for charging, the visual popup for charger percentage, and the ability to charger the battery pack while charging the phone. It also manages heat, stopping if the phone gets too hot and let’s you know it won’t charge beyond 90% to preserve battery life. Anker has none of that, only a light indicator for battery life and it will keep on charging until it’s done. It hasn’t gotten unbearably hot, but I would keep to charging in bursts.Magnet: Apple wins (slightly). I held my phone by the charger for both and shook it side to side and up and down and they both held firm. However, for some reason, Anker’s doesn’t seem to have the small magnet under the circle one like Apple does. This makes it so you can slightly turn the charger, but this doesn’t really matter.Conclusion: My personal preference is the Anker. Apple’s small improvements really aren’t worth being 3x the price. I value being able to hold the phone comfortably while charging and knowing that the battery will last me through the day if I forgot to charge my phone last night and Anker does that, arguably even better than Apple does. Heat isn’t really an issue for me because I only charge in short bursts of time anyway (~30 minutes). Apple’s charger pack is meant more for keeping your battery topped up so it only drops a bit during the day, not for charging up from a low amount which isn’t my preferred use case.

I use this thing every single day at work… it connects easily and works really well. 4 out of 5 because I really wish it lasted longer… I read that some people get far more out of it than I experience but I still would highly recommend.

hing is so convenient to have on hand and extend the battery life of ur phone. It over heats a little but shouldnt be a problem. For a standard size iPhone (not a pro or max) it will likely hang off the edge of the phone by literally .01 mm. Not an issue for me but I can understand the inconvenience depending on the case u use and etc.

rger. Anker makes great products and this is no exception. It is no thicker than you iPhone and connects nicely to your MagSafe case (that’s a must for any MagSafe product). If you are expecting this charger to maintain power for several charges, this is not for you but if you want a lightweight charger that you can barely tell it’s on your phone, look no further.

on the Go. I recently purchased the Anker 621 Magnetic Battery (MagGo), a 5000mAh Magnetic Wireless Portable Charger, and I must say I am extremely impressed with this product. This portable charger has made my life so much easier, as I no longer have to worry about running out of battery life while on the go.One of the standout features of the Anker 621 Magnetic Battery is its magnetic design, which allows it to easily attach to my iPhone 14/14 Pro/14 Pro Max, 13/12 series. The magnetic connection is strong and secure, which means I don’t have to worry about the charger falling off while in use. This is a great feature for those who are always on the move and need a reliable charging solution that won’t let them down.The 5000mAh battery is powerful enough to charge my iPhone up to two times on a single charge, which is perfect for those long days out and about. The wireless charging feature is also a huge plus, as I can simply place my phone on top of the charger to start charging, without having to worry about any cables getting in the way. This is especially handy when I’m using my phone while it’s charging, as the wireless connection allows me to move around freely.The Anker 621 Magnetic Battery also comes with a USB-C cable for charging, which is great for those times when I need to charge multiple devices at once. The cable is high quality and durable, which means it can withstand frequent use without showing any signs of wear and tear.There are cheaper options available however, which include some Chinese brands. If you are on a budget, you can go for those.Overall, I highly recommend the Anker 621 Magnetic Battery (MagGo) to anyone who is looking for a reliable and convenient charging solution for their iPhone 14/14 Pro/14 Pro Max, 13/12 series. The magnetic design, powerful battery, and wireless charging feature make it a must-have accessory for anyone who is always on the go.

charges fast! However does not work on every iPhone so make sure you read the ones they work on before you buy. Was hoping it would work on the iPhone 8 but does not.

attery to use on your phone. It does get a little warm when your charging a device with it, but it’s not too hot to handle.

wice as long. I am using this with my iPhone 13 Pro and a Mag Safe approved case. The magnet is strong enough to hold the battery on a smartphone tripod clamp with only the battery being clamped down. I use the phone for shooting video and the battery allows me to double the amount of time I can shoot without my iPhone battery going dead. So far, so good.

e this charger and it works very well. The only downside is our phones get really hot while using it.

La use para un viaje a Disney. Es ligera y necesitas tener una funda MagSafe o ponerla directo al teléfono, la use con un iPhone 14 Pro Max y cargo al 77 con un !% de pila. Creo que que un iPhone que no se Max o Plus te hace una carga completa. Se carga por medio de USB tipo -C yo use el cable que ya tengo de Apple de un iPad.

d use daily, but great backup. I haven’t used this product extensively, but it does get hot rather quickly. I timed it and it took about 5 minutes to get pretty hot. That concerns me a little bit for longer uses, but I don’t expect to have to use it often. Just for traveling mostly so I am sure it would be fine. It’s smaller than I expected and easy to pop on and off. It sticks better with a case than just on the back of the phone. One bummer is you don’t get the magsafe animation and it doesn’t show battery life in your control center.The heat makes me want to give it 4 stars, but I have a feeling that is a common problem among products like this that are not from Apple. I have a lot of quality products from Anker so I expect this to hold up just fine.
