Got the MagGo in today. Haven’t had a chance to really test it out yet but wanted to share some comparison shots. They aren’t kidding, this sucker is definitely SLIM. But also tall and wide. The overhang on the bottom of my 15 pro is definitely slightly annoying, but not a huge deal. I’ll still take the thinness any day. I don’t believe you’ll have this issue on a max size phone

Magnet seems slightly stronger than the 321 which was already pretty good. So no complaints there

I just picked up this at Best Buy for $40. It’s listed as the “322 Mag Go” Model - A1618 but I can’t find anything on it online. Is it old? Is it new? It seems like it’s an older model of what became the 622?

When using the anker 321 power bank on my phone, I notice a slight buzzing sound. However, charging the power bank has no noise at all. Is this normal? Anyone else face this issue?

Hello, I am a long anker user. I recently purchased two 321 mago MagSafe battery packs and they suck.

They get extremely hot and I’ve noticed now that they are not really charging my phone even though it says the phone is charging.

The reviews on some of their latest power banks have not been kind. I’m convinced they removed the new 20,000 and 12,000 mah prime batteries because of similar issues.

Shockingly, the 27,000 mah prime battery has only two reviews on Amazon unless I am missing something.

This is all a roundabout way of saying that my faith in the company is shaken.

Can anyone recommend a MagSafe battery pack and a 20000mah power bank with usb c that is reliable?

I think anker switched battery vendors because up until now, I’ve never had a problem.

Thanks in advance.

So I just got my first magnetic power bank and I'm disappointed. First of all it's charging very slow. About 2 h to be full (67W Xiaomi charger and USB c cable). Secondly when it was full it only managed to charge 50% of my battery (from 15 to 65% of my Pixel 8 which has 4575 mAh battery). Was charging wirelessly. Then I connected the power bank with cable. It started to charge my phone but intermittent, 2s charging, 2s not. Is that normal?

Just wanna say i did a bunch of research on which to get and i'm extremely happy with the fit and feel of the anker 321. I wasn't able to find a reputable seller for the official apple one and when i saw amazon selling the 321 at 20 dollars i jumped on it. Absolute great deal and the charger feels awesome. Fits my 13 mini with the apple leather case perfectly

This is the best investment I've made. Fits perfect on the mini, and enjoying the slim design. Possibly even better than the original apple battery pack, an item you can barely find from trusted resellers.

Never owned a wireless charger so I don’t know if it’s supposed to make that noise. Noticed it today while testing the charger for the first time, I need to put my ear close to it to hear it but the clicking is definitely there.

Do all wireless chargers make that kind of noise or is there something wrong with mine?

I’m a fan of Anker as a company, and I like the look of a lot of their MagGo products. Anyone who owns them have experience to share?

This is a English translation of my German written review you can find on this Sub -> Link

A good Qi2 power bank stands and falls with its heat development. Because the worse this is, the more the power bank throttles itself, and the slower the smartphone charges. While many 10,000 mAh models now achieve good charging results, it was and still is primarily the 5,000 mAh models that had the disadvantage here. The sometimes ultra-thin models too obviously could not maintain stable performance, too often this resulted in poor charging times that did not differ much from Qi at 7.5W.

The old Anker MagGo Slim with 5,000 mAh (A1667), which was only available exclusively through the Apple Store, was considered a particularly negative example here. Although the model is particularly thin and compact, reports on the net criticized the slow charging times. To see if something has actually improved with the new A1665 model, I will compare it in the following test with both the old model, which a reader kindly provided to me - thanks again! - as well as with the previous best Qi2, 5,000 mAh model: the INIU P71-E1.

An overview of all Qi2 power bank tests can be found here . Just search for "Qi2".

49,99€ UVP

Weight & Size:
10,20 x 7,06 x 0,87 cm, 121g
For comparison:

Anker MagGo Slim (A1667) : 10,17 x 6,98 x 0,89 cm, 120g
EcoFlow RAPID 5k: 10,83 x 7,01 x 1,41 cm, 190g
ESR 5k with Kickstand (2G522): 10,5 x 6,8 x 1,6 cm, 151g
INIU (P71-E1): 9,91 x 6,71 x 0,93 cm, 116g
KU XIU S2 5k: 10,63 x 6,98 x 1,09 cm, 149g

Only the INIU is still a touch more compact and lighter. The new Anker differs only minimally in dimensions and weight, but visibly different materials were used. The new model is even more rounded and feels better in hand. Essentially, it shares the same design language as the MagGo Slim 10k model. Everything looks super premium. You have to give Anker credit for that.

Specs:

• 5.000 mAh bzw. 18,5Wh Capacity

• 5V 3A / 9V 2,22A

• C1: 20W PD Output, 20W PD Input

• Qi2: 15W wireless

• shared Performance:

• 12W per Kabel & 5W wireless

• PPS:

• NO PPS!
  

A few bullet points:

• same specs on paper to the old model, but the differences will be shown later

• Passthrough is supported

Net capacity:

• 13,81Wh bei 9V 2,22A (75%)

• 16,19Wh bei 5V 2A (88%)
  

The older Anker:

• 12,61Wh bei 9V 2,22A (65%)

• 15,91Wh bei 5V 2A (82%)
  

The INIU:

• 15,91Wh bei 9V 2,22A (88%)

• 16,01Wh bei 5V 2A (89%)
  

It's well-known that good values start at 80%. It's striking that both Anker models operate noticeably less efficiently under high load, which is particularly evident when looking at the INIU. However, at low loads, the models are all on par and perform consistently well. I'm used to significantly worse performance from no-name Qi slim power banks here. Kuulaa, Nohon, and similar brands sometimes deliver in the 60-70% range.

None of the models can output a constant 20W via cable. The newer Anker A1665 throttles down to 15W after 30 minutes. The older Anker A1667 throttled down after just 20 minutes. Both models were thoroughly cooled down beforehand to achieve the fairest possible results.

Qi2 Wireless Performance:
First off, wireless charging is incredibly susceptible to all sorts of factors that can negatively impact the charging result. To ensure the greatest possible comparability, I set the following test conditions:

As always, I used an iPhone 15 Pro, starting at 20% and charging it to 80%. The charges were repeated multiple times, and an average value was calculated. The room temperature was consistently 21°C, and charging was done without a case.

Why 20-80%? From 80% onward, the iPhone naturally throttles down and enters trickle charging. Comparability is no longer present there. And starting from 20% to represent a realistic everyday scenario, as many people charge their smartphones within this range.

It should, of course, be clear that these results aren't entirely comparable to real-world everyday experiences. Too many factors play a role here: 5G, temperatures, case, phone usage—generally anything that could lead to the phone heating up influences wireless charging. Therefore, please only view all results as a guideline!

In addition to the three Qi2, 5k power banks, I've included a Qi1, 5k Anker model and the 10k variant of the MagGo Slim for comparison. Also "nach" just means after, too lazy to edit these out. Sorry. :D

Anker Nano MagGo 5k Qi2 (A1665, new):

• Nach 10 Minuten: 37%

• Nach 20 Minuten: 46%

• Nach 30 Minuten: 54%

• Nach 40 Minuten: 62%

• Nach 50 Minuten: 70%

• Nach 60 Minuten: 77%

• Nach 62 Minuten: 80%

Anker MagGo 5k Qi2 (A1667, old)

• Nach 30 Minuten: 47%

• Nach 40 Minuten: 55%

• Nach 50 Minuten: 62%

• Nach 60 Minuten: 69%

• Nach 70 Minuten: 75%

Anker MagGo Slim 10k:

• Nach 10 Minuten: 41%

• Nach 20 Minuten: 52%

• Nach 30 Minuten: 63%

• Nach 40 Minuten: 71%

• Nach 50 Minuten: 80%
  

My observations:

• The new Anker 5k charges slightly faster on average, confirming the impression that there are minor improvements.

• Both Anker models charge slower than the previously best Qi2 5k, the INIU.

• None of the three models come close to the very good Qi2 10k models.

• Compactness remains a limiting factor.

• If you want the fastest wireless charging from a power bank, you have to go for a good 10k model like the Anker.

• The 5k Slim models, however, are excellent battery extensions, and especially the new Anker adds absolutely no bulk and sits perfectly.

• While all three 5k Slim models charge slower, they still achieve true Qi2 speeds, as seen in the first 20 minutes. They only throttle down more significantly over time.

• The old Anker 321 charges slower at 7.5W but maintains that charging power almost consistently.

• All mentioned models share one characteristic: they remain pleasantly warm. Under good conditions, none of the models overheat. This can, of course, change in everyday scenarios. However, there are also plenty of power banks that overheat even under perfect conditions.

• All models are recommendable in their own right; if you take a look at my Wireless Charging table in the Google Sheet, you'll see that most other brands achieve significantly worse results.
  

Input:
The newer power bank model charges in 1 hour and 38 minutes with a 20W input, while the older one takes about 5 minutes longer. However, even with charging, smaller optimizations are noticeable. The new model charges consistently at 20W and essentially reaches 90% charge within one hour, then tapers off very slowly. The old model charges alternating between 20W and 12W, and after about an hour, it has only charged to approximately 70-75%. So, if you don't always want to fully charge your power bank, you can take the new model off the charger after about an hour.

Conclusion:
Is the new Anker Nano MagGo Slim Qi2 5k a good model? That's a clear yes and no. Yes, it's better than the old model, but the improvements are limited. It's clearly slower than a good 10k Qi2 power bank, and it's also slower than the best 5k Qi2 power bank, the INIU model.

So, is there actually anything that speaks for this Anker compared to the INIU? Strictly speaking, no. The INIU is technically better, more efficient, much cheaper, and has small extras like a kickstand. However, it's nowhere near as well-built as the Anker. The Anker simply feels great in the hand; it's a clear premium product with premium materials by comparison. And considering its size and weight, it's not bad. It's better than most 5k Qi2 power banks, but for the price, it really should be the best. Unfortunately, it's not.

On my own behalf:
A List of all my written reviews: Link And my Google Sheet for all the data I collected over time: Link

I do already have a spigen case with magsafe. I saw this charger is budget friendly and i am wondering if it will work well.

Got new 12 pro max today and coming from 8 plus magsafe is a new thing for me. Looking to buy something and torn between these two products. Magsafe is on sale for 89 right now while anker is at 45 euros. Anker seems like a better option overall, but the heat issue? Don’t want to ruin my battery as i will probably use it as my main phone charger and charge the battery with a cord instead.

Perhaps there’s owners who have both, if so which you prefer?

I ordered a UGREEN 5000mAh but it's too big for my mini and extends past the bottom of the phone.

Any recommendations for a smaller Magsafe battery pack that fits nicely on the 13 Mini? I don't need more than 5000mAh capacity.

Ever since the introduction of Qi2 I've been intrigued with the thought of picking up an Anker MagGo Power Bank with Qi2, but I'm also not completely sure if I'd use it. Those of you who use any sort of MagSafe battery pack, do you keep it on all day every day? Do you just keep it in your bag charged up to use the odd day you're out longer, or using your phone more heavily?

Curious to hear, I know it probably sounds dumb to think about buying something somewhat expensive without being completely sure I'd actually use it, but it does look like a neat product.
