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

The magnetic portable charger at 100% charged my phone for just about 2 hours and 45 mins.
In that time it took my iPhone 14 Pro Max from 52% to 86% so the full amount of charge my phone got from the battery was 34%.
I was using my phone every now and then so it wasn’t just sitting there unused but I wasn’t sitting there scrolling as it charged.
It got warm within the first 30min but never got hotter than that.
The charger itself looks nice, it’s not too large I can hold my phone pretty comfortably with it attached.
At 40 dollars I’m not sure if it was worth it, but in a pinch it would definitely keep your phone from dying till you could get to a charger.
However it’s never going to bring it from 1% to 100% which is definitely something I was hoping for. Maybe that was unrealistic I don’t know.
Next time I might look for something a little more expensive to get something that offers a bit more power.

It’s okay for what it is. If you really want a good battery capacity then I’d recommend their 10,000 mah. This one it’s really 5,000 mah Anker even says it. The magnet strength is really strong. It’s very portable and the charging speed is good.

I've had a lot of good luck with Anker products. That's why they were one of my first choices with I wanted to try a MagSafe battery with my iPhone Pro Max. This time, the results were a mixed bag.

I liked the size and magnet. The battery is small enough that I can still hold my phone comfortably when it's attached. And the magnet is strong enough that it doesn't shake loose when I toss my phone with it attached into my pocket or backpack.

The problem, and why I eventually returned it, is that it charges my phone more slowly than other MagSafe batteries I've tried.

You don't have to take my word for it. That's why my iPhone says when I attach it. It also doesn't trigger the MagSafe animation. That's probably because it's not a true MagSafe charger.

More to the point, it takes about 30% longer to charge my iPhone than other MagSafe chargers, where the issues I just mentioned don't happen.

Not a fast charger mag safe but it can get the job done n manage your battery. I been using it for 1 week and on a full charge it can charge your phone from 1% to 75ish% . Also around 85% it will start to get hot and your phone will stop charging until it cools down . Other than that its worth buy and I DON’T have any regrets . Ps a couple hard drop and it can start to show a few dinks n scratch . But the black one hides it very well

Just got this and it won’t hold a charge. No matter how long I leave it plugged in, it only charges 2 out of 5 bars (as indicated by the lights on the device). I tried charging my phone from 19% and it only charged my phone to 46% before running out of power. Will be returning it, as the defect doesn’t make it worth the price.

Update: While the issue persists, the seller did reach out to give me a full refund. They did not ask me to update my review. I appreciated this, so we are going from 1 star to 3 stars.

This is how my charger arrived. Clearly a returned, very used item. The tape on the package was clearly cut/torn. 😒 Getting a replacement sent but is ridiculous this was even sent out in the first place. And it is inconvenient to have to deal with sending this one back.

Capacity:
I’m okay with the capacity until we get to battery life…
Battery life:
the battery life is horrible because when you are NOT using the power bank it just depletes of power on its own without even using it throughout the day. So I have to keep mine charged throughout the day until I actually need to to use it for my phone. 

I used to have a $10 battery bank with the same capacity from $5 below and that one although much thicker, at least I knew it would keep its own charge until I needed to use it. That thing would last me a while just sitting there and keep its capacity. 

I’m really disappointed on this one from anker since I love their products but I’m thinking I either need to return this one or maybe I got bad luck and it was a faulty one ? Unsure…

The bank only charges to 2 lights out of 5 after leaving it in a dedicated outlet with an Anker usb C to C cable for 3 days. First time I’ve ever had an issue with an Anker bank—was looking for a smaller 5000mAh to fit in a work bag, but I guess I’ll keep looking. Really disappointed but it’s not worth the hassle of sending it back.

Update: Anker reached out and offered a full refund. Upgraded this rating to 3 stars for the outstanding customer service. Will definitely try a different version of the 5000 bank.

So it’s cute. But it takes forever to charge then one charge session on a phone and it is dead. It gets hotter to the touch than I prefer and its magnet isn’t as strong as I’d had hoped. So it isn’t great.

The battery works with an iPhone 13 Pro Max but has two major problems:
1. It has no vertical magnet (the dark vertical line), or if it does it’s incredibly weak. This means the battery can easily rotate on your phone and disconnect. Not a deal breaker just incredibly inconvenient, and requires more regular attention and care.
2. It gets hot hot hot! I bought two of these and both get hot while they discharge. The phone is hot and the battery is hot, making holding the phone uncomfortable at times.

The official Apple battery packs, although they have a smaller battery size have none of these problems

This thing is great, when you need a quick charge, and you don’t have a charger port, but it gets too hot, way too fast, and I mean so hot it might be like 85° in your hand, if you were outside a hot day, I’m sure it would be dangerous for your phone, and to have the battery on it getting hotter. if my phones like 20%, it doesn’t get it past 70%, even on a full charge. Even when it’s fully charged, it does not fully charge my phone all the way, unless it starts at 50%. So it seems like it gives you half a charge or so, even though it should give a full charge! It’s definitely good for quick on the go purposes, but I wouldn’t expect it to be the best option. You’re better off with the battery bank, and just plugging it in. It is, however, one of the better MagSafe chargers out there as far as I know. I would say, if you have the money to blow, buy one, but don’t expect too much, and monitor your phone temperature. I just wish it was better, but still I give it three out of five.

I’ve got a 14 Pro and the battery pack sticks out past the bottom of the phone, which is annoying for the price. Definitely could’ve been better designed. But the functionality isn’t great: I continue to get a temperature warning on my phone when the battery pack is in use, making it unusable. I’m normally a huge fan of Anker stuff but this isn’t it.

I love the idea of this and the MagSafe attachment part works great! And the purple looks great with my case and it still works with my MagSafe phone grip. It’s slim and fits so nicely in my purse or pocket! Unfortunately the charging rate is so slow, it’s never useful. I feel like it mostly keeps my phone alive for a bit longer instead of actually charging it, even with my phone in airplane mode and left untouched for an hour, I barely get more than 15% charged. I thought Anker would be a bit better than that, but I’d just rather use a charger with a built in fast charge cable and get a real charge out of it.

This is not the best product but not the worst the only cons I have is the battery pack heats up the whole phone and if u add that with body heat from being in ur pocket it gets extremely hot Next charge time takes 2-3 hrs to charge on my fast charger.. and it only really maintained my battery and added maybe 20% if that OTHER THAN THAT it was very thin convenient lightweight had a strong magnet was well made it’s not bad at all just wasn’t for me

Unless you want to damage your iPhone I DO NOT RECOMMEND this battery pack! I only had it on my IPhone for a few min and it got hot to the touch! I am sending this back. I’ll stick with my Apple MagSafe battery packs. I even charged this battery pack over night and the bars didn’t even show full. I’ve always liked anker products, but this one is a dud. Customer service did make this right, likely just got a defective one and they did credit my acct back after I returned the item.

I was disappointed that item was delivered late. On initial date, which was promised. I received email stating delivery would be a few days late. That would have been okay had I not needed by the initial due date. Amazon could not cancel order because it was in transit to be delivered when I called to let them know I would be out of town for a few days for fear it might get stolen. I spoke to an Amazon supervisor who made things right. Order could not be cancelled but could be rescheduled. I still don’t understand why delivery company could reschedule but not just return it. Delivery company emailed to let me know it was being delivered two days after initial due date. I called Amazon and reschedule for the follieing day when I’d be home from trip.

With respect t to Battery pack,

Cons: battery pack and iPhone 14 Pro Max heated up and took over an hour to get from 86% to 89% charge. Very slow.

Pros: compact and magnetic strip works great! 😀 weight is not bad fir my needs. It’s all relative to individual discretion about what is and what is not heavy.

Very sturdy battery pack. Product was secured in its box, very well packaged. The downside for me is the speed. However it’s sturdy & compact sized and weight is fine for me.

If you are concerned about the heat, do a web search.

If you are not concerned about slow charge I recommend The Anker.

With regards to delivery date being unexpectedly delayed and you need a next day delivery know that deliveries may be delayed by uncontrollable conditions such as weather, etc.

Again Amazon made things right and I have no complaints about Anker.

Good quality and function, but few good use case scenarios. I did not experience any of the heating issues reported by other reviewers.

Pros:
1. The item is well made. The type of plastic and overall construction makes this feel like a premium item with no flex or loose parts. It has a sort of satin finish that is matte and looks very nice as well
2. You are able to charge items through the USB C port

Cons:
1. Charging is quite slow. While using this battery you should not be losing any charge, but any increase in battery percentage will be slow and hard to notice
2. It is quite heavy. When attached to your phone, the weight difference is very noticeable. I think it is too big to comfortable carry in a pocket, especially attached to your phone
3. Though it is slim, the battery is also a bit bulky. When attached, it doubles the thickness of your phone. On my iPhone 14 Pro with a thin case, the battery hangs a fraction of a centimeter over the bottom and it is noticeable if you rest your phone on your pinky
4. Because of its weight and size, it begs the question, “why not use a bigger and faster traditional portable battery with a cord?”
5. While the finish of the material is nice, it will show every fingerprint and bit of moisture. Something to keep in mind if this sort of stuff bothers you
