Best Prices Today: Anker MagGo Power Bank (10K, Slim)
$69.99
At just 0.58 inches (less than 1.5 cm) thick, this 10,000 mAh magnetic power bank rivals even some 5,000 mAh magnetic batteries in terms of thinness. It’s also lighter than any other 10K wireless power bank we’ve tested, works better at recharging power, and can charge an iPhone via cable at 30W.
The Anker MagGo 10K slim power bank uses fast magnetic Qi2 technology and can therefore charge wirelessly at an impressive 15W. Only Apple’s wired MagSafe charger can charge faster wirelessly at 25W, and for To use it, you will need a separate power bank to take with you when traveling.
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 which topped our list of best MagSafe power banks. The Anker MagGo Slim is a strong contender for this crown and it’s my personal choice to carry in my backpack.

Anker MagGo Slim 10K vs. Baseus 10K Power Bank
Our two favorite magnetic power banks now are this slim Anker 10K MagGo model and one from Baseus that cleverly includes a built-in USB-C cable.
THE Baseus 10K Power Bank is more convenient with its cable because you can charge your iPhone 15 or 16 at 30W while it is attached to the back of the battery. With the built-in cable, you don’t even need to resort to wireless charging, although you can wirelessly charge an iPhone 12/13/14/15/16 and use USB-C to charge another compatible device . This primarily benefits owners of newer iPhones that have a built-in USB-C charging port rather than the older Lightning port found on previous iPhones.
With the Anker MagGo 10K Slim, iPhone 15 and 16 owners can still charge faster (30W) by adding their own USB-C cable, but that means remember to always have one with you.
Baseus power bank win so far.
However, when charging wirelessly, the Anker MagGo is much faster: 15W compared to the Baseus’ 7.5W wireless charging. And both come with 30W USB-C wired charging.

iPhone 13/12/14 owners may appreciate the ability to add a Lightning cable to Anker’s USB-C port and charge that way. Wired charging via Lightning is limited to 20W, a limit set by Apple to ensure the security and performance of the device, not through the cable or power bank.
While the Anker power bank has a maximum output of 30W via the USB-C port when not using wireless charging, when using USB-C and wireless charging simultaneously, the output of the USB-C port will decrease to 12W maximum and wireless charging power will be reduced to 5W.

Thinner by design
For sheer convenience, the Baseus Power Bank with its built-in USB-C cable wins out for iPhone 15 and 16 owners, but if 15W wireless charging is fast enough for you, the Anker MagGo Slim is more easy to take and carry. around a thickness of just 0.58 inches compared to the Baseus’s 0.8 inches.
The Anker MagGo is also lighter: 7.05 oz (200 g) versus 7.3 oz (206 g). While beating it in raw numbers, it’s not a hugely noticeable difference when thrown in a bag with your keys, a water bottle, and your MacBook.
Anker offers another MagGo 10K that is less thin but has a flash LED battery level display and an integrated kickstand. Read or Anker 10K MagGo Power Bank review for details.
Charging performance
In our charging tests, we drain an iPhone 15 Pro to 0%, then power it up to 100% using the power bank. Then we empty it again and start the process again until the external battery is completely exhausted.
On average, 10,000 mAh power banks can charge the iPhone 15 Pro to around 160%. The two most notable magnetic power banks in our tests have already been mentioned in this review. The Baseus Power Bank charged up to 187% and the Anker MagGo 10K Slim 188%, close enough to be considered a draw.
Price
The Anker MagGo Slim 10K costs $74.99 or £69.99. At $45.99, the Baseus Power Bank is cheaper, but if you value slim, the Anker MagGo can’t be beat for size, battery capacity, and speed.
The Baseus is not for sale outside of the US, while the Anker is for sale in many international markets, including the UK.
The MagGo is available in up to four colors depending on your country and where you buy it. The pink and teal versions are only available directly from Anker.

Verdict
We like this magnetic power bank for its slim profile, mega charging power, and 15W wireless or 30W wired speeds. iPhone 15 and 16 owners may prefer the Baseus Power Bank 10K for its built-in USB-C cable, but the Anker MagGo 10K Slim is slimmer and more compact, and charges wirelessly twice as fast.
