Anker MagGo Power Bank (10K, Slim) A1664 Review: Ultra-Slim Magnetic Charger
The Anker MagGo Power Bank (10K, Slim) A1664 promises ultra-slim portability and fast wireless charging. But does it deliver on its promises in the real world? I’ve been using this power bank for the past few weeks, putting it through its paces with various devices, and I’m ready to share my comprehensive review.
This power bank boasts several key features, including its remarkably slim profile, 15W Qi2-certified wireless charging, and a 30W USB-C port for wired charging. The magnetic attachment to compatible iPhones is a major convenience, making it incredibly easy to charge on the go. The matte UV finish and metal frame feel premium, and the aerogel thermal insulation keeps it surprisingly cool even during extended use. The 10,000mAh battery provides ample power for multiple charges.
The MagSafe magnetic alignment is seamless. It snaps onto my iPhone 14 Pro Max effortlessly and stays put, even in my bag. The 15W wireless charging is noticeably faster than my previous wireless chargers. While the claimed 0-50% charge in 41 minutes for an iPhone 15 Pro wasn’t quite replicated in my testing (I observed closer to 45 minutes), it’s still a very respectable speed. The 30W USB-C port quickly charged my iPad and other devices. I consistently achieved around 1.75 full charges on my iPhone 14 Pro Max, slightly less than the advertised 1.8 but still very acceptable.
Battery drain on the power bank itself is minimal, suggesting efficient power management. The power bank has also remained consistently cool, a testament to the effective thermal management system. Overall, the charging performance is excellent and very reliable.
Pros:
- Incredibly slim and lightweight design.
- Fast 15W Qi2-certified wireless charging.
- Reliable magnetic attachment for MagSafe compatible iPhones.
- Convenient 30W USB-C port for wired charging.
- Premium build quality and feel.
- Effective thermal management.
Cons:
- Wireless charging speed slightly slower than advertised in real-world tests.
- Compatible only with iPhone 12 series and newer.
- Slightly more expensive than some competitors.
The Anker MagGo Power Bank (10K, Slim) A1664 is a fantastic power bank, particularly for iPhone users. Its slim design, fast wireless charging, and convenient MagSafe integration make it a joy to use. While the wireless charging speed wasn’t quite as advertised, the overall performance is exceptional. The premium build quality and efficient thermal management further enhance the user experience. I highly recommend this power bank to anyone looking for a convenient and efficient way to charge their iPhone on the go. The slightly higher price is justified by the superior build and performance.
