Apple Magsafe technology has transformed the iPhone feed bank from a battery to Lumpen to a convenience ready for the essential handbag. A magnetic magnetic food bank strikes any more recent iPhone than 11 to revolutionize the wireless load with efficient and power.
Pull your power bench from your pocket or bag and just tighten it at the back of your iPhone to start the immediate load. No threads, no buttons to support.
The magnetic power bank Belkin Boostchart Pro with Qi2 15W 5K continues – perhaps even advance – the company’s obsession for extraordinarily long product names, but we can forgive this predilection because it is not only the most colorful food bank that we have examined, but also the one that has passed our battery performance tests with a new highest score.

Load power
We will start with this test score, because at the end of the day – or sometimes the start of the day if you forgot to feed your iPhone during the night – the amount of power you can extract from the food bank to recharge your phone is all that matters.
Electricity banks tend to present themselves in two basic battery capacities measured in milliamp of hours: 5000mah (5k) and 10000mAh (10k). The 5K electricity banks are smaller but offer less electricity. 10K will maintain your phone longer but are larger and heavier, but not ridiculously. Just to add excitement to the market, Belkin also offers an 8K version of this food bank – perhaps for a Goldilocks portable load solution.
We test all the power banks by simply performing our iPhone Pro test up to 0%, fixing the feeding bank and seeing the iPhone battery as far as percentage is reconstructed before the food bank is short of juice itself. In the case of 10 km banks, we usually have to remove the iPhone and repeat.
On average, a 5K electric bank should recharge an iPhone at around 70% and a 10K at 170%.
In our tests, the magnetic power bank Belkin Boostchart Pro with Qi2 15W 5K recorded an impressive recharge of 79%, which draws it at the top of our graph with high scores with the Kuxiu S2 5000MAH of Kuxiu S2 5000MAH.
Qi2 for faster load
Like Kuxiu and the most modern power banks, it uses Qi2 wireless load technology which corresponds to Apple Magsafe at 15W. The Qi2 feed banks replace the old models “compatible by Magsafe” which were used to load much more than 7.5 W.
Qi 2.2 will have come from time this year, offering a 25W wireless load, but 15W will be fast enough for most of us … until we tasted 25 W, of course. If you need a portable magnetic food bank now, we do not recommend waiting for new Qi 2.2 products at the end of the year.

Design
What really makes the magnetic power bank boostcharge pro with Qi2 15W 5K stands out is not its long name or its prowess of power, but its range of Natty colors.
Depending on where you buy it and in the battery capacity (the 5K color range is much wider), you can find it in black, white, blue, sand, blue, citrus yellow, gold, pink and exclusive Apple Store: a brighter pink stand, deep purple with a red support and in tube with a yellow support.
Other electricity banks are available in different shades, but no fun as this collection. Belkin has the most available via his online store, Amazon has a few colors according to your region, and the Apple Store has these exclusives in two colors.

Each comes with a backsuit at the rear so that you can support your iPhone in a vertical or horizontal orientation for hands -free visualization or calls.
Below the support are four LEDs which indicate the remaining power in the battery.
On the one hand, a USB-C port that you can use to add a cable (a 1 m cable is included in the box) to simultaneously load a second device up to 12W and an input power to recharge the power bank itself at 20 W.
Few 5K power banks offer an integrated USB-C cable (the Ecoflow Rapid is the exception), but some of the 10K power banks do so, so if you need this practical supplement, see our list of the best magnetic power banks for iPhone that we have tested.
This 12W is enough to very slowly load a second phone, but is perfect for powering your Apple Watch or your helmet.

The 5K feed bank measures 3.9 x 2.6 x 0.6 inches (9.8 x 6.6 x 1.4 cm) and weighs 4.8 oz (136 g).
The 8K feed bank measures 4.3 x 2.8 x 0.75 inches (10.8 x 7 x 1.9 cm) and weighs 6.7 oz (191g).
The 10K feed bank measures 3.9 x 2.8 x 0.8 inches (10 x 7 x 2 cm) and weighs 7.7 OZ (218 g).
Price
The 5K models of the magnetic power bank Belkin Boostcharge Pro with Qi2 15W 5K are at the price of $ 59.99 / £ 49.99 / € 59.95. This has the widest selection of colors, including these Apple Store exclusives.
8K models are an interesting environment for food banks. The 8K version is at the price of $ 79.99 / £ 69.99 / € 79.95.
The 10K models cost $ 99.99 / £ 79.99 / € 99.99.
The models on the Apple Store are pretty but also have an additional £ 10 or € 10 stuck on the price if you buy one outside the United States
You can buy cheaper but none at this level of performance.
Should you buy the Belkin Boostchart Pro Magnetic Power Bank?
We love the many color options available, the practical kickstand, the 8K option and the record test performance of the Belkin Boostchart Pro Magnetic Power Bank. It does not offer an integrated USB-C cable like some of its rivals, but it is a careful and fairly compact magnetic power bank that will bring you admiring and jealous looks on your journey.
