Momax Q.Mag X (IP116AL2) Review: 5000mAh Magnetic Wireless Power Bank

The Momax Q.Mag X (IP116AL2) 5000mAh Magnetic Wireless Battery Pack promises convenient and fast charging with its sleek design and MagSafe compatibility. I’ve been using it for several weeks now, putting it through its paces with various devices. This review will delve into my experiences, exploring both the strengths and weaknesses of this portable power solution.

The Q.Mag X boasts a compelling array of features. Its magnetic attachment, compatible with MagSafe devices, makes charging incredibly simple – just snap it on and you’re good to go. The 15W fast wireless charging is a definite plus, though I tested it extensively to see how it performed in real-world scenarios. It also supports Qi and Qi2 wireless charging, providing broader compatibility. The ultra-slim 13mm profile and lightweight design make it incredibly portable; it easily fits in a pocket or bag without adding significant bulk.

The inclusion of a USB-C port for wired charging is also a thoughtful addition, enabling users to charge the power bank itself quickly and efficiently. The built-in safety features, including protection against overheating, overcharging, short circuits, and foreign object detection (FOB), provide peace of mind.

In my testing, the magnetic alignment was consistently reliable. The power bank snapped onto my iPhone 13 Pro Max securely and charging began immediately. I observed consistently fast charging speeds, close to the advertised 15W, which was refreshing. Wireless charging speeds varied slightly based on the distance and position of the phone, but generally remained impressive.

Charging the power bank itself via USB-C was also quick and efficient. It consistently performed to expectations with no significant overheating issues, even during extended use. The battery life mirrored the advertised 5000mAh capacity quite accurately, giving me multiple top-ups for my iPhone throughout the day.

Pros:

  • MagSafe compatibility for effortless magnetic charging.
  • Fast 15W wireless charging.
  • Slim and lightweight design.
  • Reliable battery life.
  • Comprehensive safety features.
  • USB-C input for fast charging.

Cons:

  • Wireless charging speed can be slightly affected by phone alignment.
  • Price point may be higher than some competing models.

The Momax Q.Mag X (IP116AL2) is a premium magnetic wireless power bank that delivers on its promises. Its ease of use, fast charging, and sleek design make it a strong contender in a crowded market. While the price is slightly higher than some alternatives, the convenience and reliable performance justify the cost for those seeking a top-tier MagSafe-compatible power solution. I highly recommend the Momax Q.Mag X.
