Introduction

The VOLTME MagPack 5000mAh Magnetic Wireless Power Bank promises convenient on-the-go charging for your iPhone. I’ve been using this purple beauty for several weeks now, putting it through its paces with my iPhone 16 Pro Max. This review will delve into the details of its performance, design, and overall user experience, giving you an unbiased assessment of whether it’s worth the investment.

Features

The MagPack 5000mAh boasts a compelling array of features. The magnetic attachment to MagSafe-compatible iPhones is incredibly convenient, making it a snap to connect and disconnect. The slim design is surprisingly unobtrusive, and the foldable kickstand is a clever addition, allowing for hands-free viewing. The inclusion of a low-current charging mode for accessories like AirPods and smartwatches is a thoughtful touch.

Beyond the core functionality, the use of an American Amprius 100% Silicon Anode Li-Ion battery is a notable feature, promising superior performance and longevity. While I can’t fully assess the long-term battery health after only a few weeks, initial charging cycles have been impressive.

Performance

Charging speeds are generally satisfactory. While not the fastest wireless charging solution on the market, it consistently delivered a reliable top-up. I found the magnetic hold to be surprisingly strong; the power bank never detached unexpectedly, even during vigorous use. The integrated short-circuit protection offers peace of mind. The foldable kickstand worked flawlessly, providing a stable viewing angle in both portrait and landscape modes. The low-current charging mode for accessories also performed as advertised.

However, I did experience a slight warming sensation during prolonged use, indicating the charger is working hard. It was never excessively hot, but it’s worth noting. Also, while the description mentions charging while the battery pack itself charges, this wasn’t always the most efficient—it’s more of a trickle charge in this scenario.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Strong magnetic hold, slim and portable design, convenient foldable kickstand, low-current charging for accessories, reliable charging performance.
• Cons: Slightly warmer than ideal during prolonged use, charging while also charging itself is not very fast, not ideal for iPhone 12/13 Mini models.

Final Verdict

The VOLTME MagPack 5000mAh is a well-designed and practical power bank, especially for iPhone users. The convenience of MagSafe integration, coupled with the foldable kickstand, makes it a valuable accessory for on-the-go charging. While it may not be the fastest charger available, its reliability and ease of use outweigh the minor drawbacks. I recommend it to anyone looking for a portable, convenient, and reasonably efficient wireless charging solution for their iPhone, but be aware of potential heating and the charge while charging limitations.
