I'm glad I was forced to wait to adopt the new magnetic charging standard, as it means I can now take advantage of discounts like the one we're currently seeing on Anker's Qi2-compatible MagGo power banks. He Anker MagGo Power Bank (10K)the 10,000 mAh version with built-in stand and LED display is available in amazon.com/Anker-Certified-Ultra-Fast-MagSafe-Compatible-Portable/dp/B0CFDPQXN4?tag=theverge02-20″>amazon right now in select colors starting at just $69.99 ($20 off), which is the first discount we've seen since the power bank arrived late last year. It is also on sale from anker for the same price until May 27 with offer code WSPEV22ONZXB.
The 10,000 mAh capacity of the stand model is ideal for larger devices, allowing you to perform about two full charges on an iPhone 15 Pro. Meanwhile, the built-in display can tell you the exact remaining capacity and total time to charge . You can even use the same USB-C port you use to recharge the power bank to charge multiple devices at speeds up to 27W, which is handy if you're short on time.
If you can get away with a smaller power bank, you can also save 20 percent on the 6600 mAh model, the Anker MagGo Power Bank (6.6K), which uses the battery compartment as a heavy base. The latter is available for $55.99 ($14 off) when you clip the coupon on the page at amazon.com/Anker-Certified-Ultra-Fast-MagSafe-Compatible-Adjustable/dp/B0C9DNYKMJ?tag=theverge02-20″>amazon, which is just $7 more than its all-time low. It is also for sale at anker when you apply the offer code WSCPV2ZVMS7Z in box.
The 6600mAh alternative has no built-in display or reverse USB-C charging, but the stand offers more flexibility as you can adjust the angle between 35 and 65 degrees. Both devices also support direct charging, allowing you to charge the power bank and your phone simultaneously, and the new standby feature in iOS 17, which can display the time, photos or calendar when your phone is mounted in landscape orientation .
Since they both use the new Qi2 standard, you can use it to charge any MagSafe-compatible iPhone at fast 15W speeds. Anker says it can get an iPhone 15 from 50 percent empty in just 44 minutes. Without Qi2 or true MagSafe certification, that speed would be cut in half, as most Qi chargers only offer 7.5W charging speeds (with iPhones).
