This 10000mAh magnetic power bank is only 0.58 inches (less than 1.5cm) thick, making it as thin as some of the 5000mAh magnetic battery packs. It’s also lighter than any other 10K wireless power bank we’ve tested and offers the best performance for power charging, allowing you to charge your iPhone wired at 30W.
The Anker MagGo 10K Slim Power Bank uses high-speed Qi2 magnetic technology, allowing you to wirelessly charge at an incredible 15W. Only Apple’s wired MagSafe charger offers faster wireless charging at 25W, which means you’ll need a separate power bank to take with you on the go.
If you have a spare cable, the Anker power bank can charge even faster at 30W via the USB-C port. This makes it a faster wireless charger than the Baseus Magnetic Power Bank, which tops our list of best MagSafe power banks. The Anker MagGo Slim is a strong contender for that crown and my personal choice to carry in my backpack.

Two of our favorite magnetic power banks are this slim Anker 10K MagGo model and the Baseus one, which cleverly features a built-in USB-C cable.
of Baseus 10K power bank For added convenience, the cable allows you to charge your iPhone 15 or 16 at 30W while it’s attached to the back of the battery pack. With the built-in cable, you don’t even have to rely on wireless charging, but you can also charge your iPhone 12/13/14/15/16 wirelessly and use USB-C to charge another compatible device. can. This primarily benefits owners of recent iPhones, which have an onboard USB-C charging port rather than the old-style Lightning port found on earlier iPhones.
With the Anker MagGo 10K Slim, iPhone 15 and 16 owners can still enjoy fast charging (30W) by adding their own USB-C cable, but don’t forget to always carry your USB-C cable with you .
So far, Baseus power bank wins.

iPhone 12/13/14 owners may appreciate the ability to add a Lightning cable to Anker’s USB-C port and charge it that way. Wired charging with Lightning is limited to 20W. This is a limit set by Apple to ensure device safety and performance, not due to cables or power banks.
Anker power bank has up to 30W output through the USB-C port when not using wireless charging, but when using USB-C and wireless charging at the same time, the USB-C port output is up to 12W , and wireless charging output drops to 5W.

slimmer design
For iPhone 15 and 16 owners, the Baseus Power Bank with its built-in USB-C cable is the best choice for convenience, but if 15W wireless charging is fast enough, the Anker MagGo Slim is a better choice. Easy to carry in your pocket. It’s only 0.58″ thick compared to Baseus which is 0.8″.
The Anker MagGo is even lighter: 7.05 oz (200g) and 7.3 oz (206g). It wins in real-world numbers, but when you throw it in your bag with your keys, water bottle, and MacBook, it doesn’t make much of a noticeable difference.
Anker has another 10K MagGo that’s not quite as slim, but has a flashy LED battery level indicator and a built-in kickstand. Do you read it? Anker 10K MagGo Power Bank Please review for more details.
