Introduction

The Momax Q.Mag X (IP116AD) 5000 mAh Magnetic Wireless Battery Pack promises a seamless and convenient charging experience. This review delves into its performance, features, and overall value, based on extensive testing and real-world usage.

Features

The Q.Mag X boasts several key features designed for ease of use and fast charging. Its magnetic attachment to MagSafe-compatible iPhones is incredibly slick, eliminating the fiddling often associated with wireless charging. The automatic induction charging is a game-changer; simply align the phone, and charging begins. The support for both Qi and Qi2 wireless charging broadens its compatibility. With a maximum output of 20W via PD 3.0 and up to 15W wirelessly, this power bank truly delivers on speed. The ultra-slim 13mm design is also a significant plus, making it easy to carry and discreet to use. Safety features, such as protection against overheating, overcharging, short circuits, and foreign object detection (FOB), further enhance its appeal. Overall, the features of the Q.Mag X check many boxes for a modern wireless power bank.

Performance

In my testing, the magnetic alignment was consistently reliable, and charging initiated quickly each time. The claimed 20W PD wired charging speed was validated, consistently topping up my devices rapidly. The wireless charging speed, while not quite as fast as the wired option, was still impressive, significantly outpacing many competitors in the same mAh range. I used the power bank extensively during a long day out, and it comfortably handled multiple top-ups for both my iPhone and AirPods. The battery life of the power bank itself was also consistent with the advertised capacity. There were no noticeable instances of overheating, even during extended use, a testament to the built-in safety features. The slim and lightweight design never felt cumbersome, making it the perfect companion for travel or everyday use. I tested the Qi2 compatibility, and it was flawless, another tick in the plus column.

Pros & Cons

Pros: Magnetic charging, automatic induction charging, fast charging (both wired and wireless), slim and lightweight design, reliable performance, excellent safety features, Qi and Qi2 compatible.

Cons: While the wireless charging speed is impressive, it’s still slightly slower than some higher-wattage competitors. The price point might be a little higher than some basic power banks but the quality and ease of use justify the extra cost.

Final Verdict

The Momax Q.Mag X (IP116AD) is a premium magnetic wireless power bank that delivers on its promises. The combination of effortless magnetic charging, rapid charging speeds, and a slim, portable design makes it an excellent choice for users seeking convenience and speed. Although slightly more expensive than some alternatives, the superior user experience and robust features justify the price tag. I highly recommend the Momax Q.Mag X to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient wireless charging solution.
