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

Works really good if phone protector is removed. Will still charge with protector but does not stay attached.

Before ordering I had struggled to get answers to some basic questions about how this battery works, so now that I have it in hand I'm hoping these tips are useful:- The battery charges the phone wirelessly when the battery is attached to the phone magnetically and turned on.- While the phone and battery are attached the power moves in only one direction from the battery to the phone. The battery doesn't charge wirelessly when attached to a phone even if the phone is plugged in.- The battery must be charged independently of the phone. It can be charged either by plugging a USB-C cable into it directly or by putting it on any wireless charging pad.- You CAN plug a USB-C cable directly into the battery to charge it while it's attached to the phone and while it's actively charging the phone. It's possible this isn't recommended, but it does appear to work.- The battery blocks the phone's Magsafe charging area while it's attached to the phone, but the phone can still be charged directly via USB-C with the battery attached.- The battery can't be charged wirelessly while attached to a phone since it must be placed Magsafe-down onto a wireless charging pad.- The battery just barely fits into the space between the camera protection area and the bottom edge of a standard phone case with very little room to spare. The magnets are very effective, though, and it stays firmly attached to the phone.- A short USB-C cable is provided, but you need to provide a USB AC charger or wireless charging pad.

Nice size portable charger for those times when you gotta go but the phone needs some juice. It’s a smaller and lighter weight portable that does the trick when you gotta go and there’s no time for a full plug in charge.

Works fast and great! The magnet is strong and feels secure without moving around. Even the color matches iPhone 16. Only downfall is that it’s a bit heavy to carry around in your pocket if you need something while hiking or camping but overall, I would buy it again if needed.

TL;DR: works well but the battery indicator is a bit confusing.The Anker 621 has decent build quality and feels solid. It’s a bit thinner and lighter than my s/o’s Anker 622 but doesn’t have a stand as a trade off. It charges wirelessly as expected though does get a bit hot.Overall I’m pretty pleased, the only one strange callout is that if you keep it plugged into a charging cable, (with the wireless charging pad facing up) the right most LED continues blinking giving you the idea that it’s still charging. However, the right most LED is just a charging pad indicator (letting you know it can wirelessly charge a device while the cable is plugged in—acting like a charging pad).Only the four left most LEDs are the battery level indicator (which turn off when fully charged). This isn’t very intuitive and made me think the battery was bad from the factory.

Attaches very securely. It won’t charge your iPhone all the way but is good for when you need a boost. It takes a long time to charge and drains very fast. I like how slim it is but it’s really only great for a quick boost. It’s not my go to charger but it’s a solid quick backup. And very easy to pack in a purse.

I love this charger and use it all the time. I love how portable it is and easy it is to snap it to the back of my phone and completely recharge it on the go. Plus it's cute in this color!

It does get hot at times.Also when wireless charging it does gets hot and the phone gets hot and reads that it’ll charge when phone gets cooler
