Anker’s MagGo 10,000mAh power bank is Qi2-certified for 15W magnetic wireless charging, with a USB-C port and battery display. Great for cable-free iPhone top-ups on busy days; it adds weight and wireless charging is less efficient than using a cable.

First look: the Anker MagGo
Anker lists 10,000mAh capacity, Qi2 certification for 15W magnetic wireless charging, a USB-C port for wired charging and recharging, a smart display showing remaining battery, and a fold-out stand on some versions.
The Anker MagGo in everyday routines
Top up an iPhone on a commute without cables, watch video on the stand during travel, charge earbuds over USB-C, or carry a backup on long event days.
Qi2 magnetic charging works best with iPhone 13 and later or Qi2 Android phones; other phones need a magnetic case or must use the USB-C cable instead. Wireless charging is less efficient than wired, so you will get fewer full phone charges than the 10,000mAh number suggests and the pack can feel warm. At this capacity it adds noticeable weight to your phone, so it is better as a top-up than something you leave attached all day. Check your airline’s rules; power banks must go in carry-on luggage. Use a MagSafe-compatible case, as thick cases weaken the magnetic hold.
