Can Anker MagGo Wireless Charging Station (Foldable 3-in-1) charge an Apple Watch?
Does Anker MagGo Wireless Charging Station (Foldable 3-in-1) work without being plugged into a power source?
Can a phone case affect wireless charging?
Hello everyone,
for my own little Subreddit ChargingSheet I do test everything around Charging. Charger, Powerbanks, wired, wireless etc. Since I did test a few Qi2 power banks now I'd like to share some results, especially for Charging performance, you might be interested in.
All data is from my little sheet here.
What I do:
I use my iPhone 15 Pro as a reference. I usually charge my phone within the 20-80% and that's precisely the range I used for testings. I always make sure, that my phone is cooled. I don't use a case through testing. I don't use the phone at all through testing and I make sure, that the room temperature is always the same. Same conditions for every test.
Here are my results for:
Anker, MagGo, Qi2, 6.600mah, (A1643)
Anker, MagGo, Qi2, 10.000mah, (A1654)
Anker, MagGo, Slim, Qi2, 10.000mah, (A1664)
Baseus, AirPow, Qi2, 10.000mah
iWalk, Qi2, 10.000mah, (MXB010)
Ugreen, Nexode, Qi2, 10.000mah, (PB761)
Some Qi power banks for reference:

Baseus, MagSafe, 6.000mah, PPCXM06A)

The Anker MagGo Slim is currently the best Qi2-Powerbank in my opinion. Not only does it offer great Qi2 Charging speeds. It has fantastic build quality, 30W in and out and fits perfectly on my iPhone 15 Pro. However it's pricey. A great alternative is the iWalk. It costs the half, offers decent Qi2 Charging speeds and is very versatile with 30W in and output, an attachable and removable USB-C cable, high PPS and UFCS support and battery percentage. It's bulkier though. Both older Anker Qi2 power banks are bulkier too, the Charging speed from the 6.600 mAh model how ever is unmatched. The design is not for everyone and the model is more niche, but the Charging speed is fantastic. I repeated the testings a few times to make sure everything was legit.
Not every Qi2-Powerbank is great. The Baseus has great Charging speeds, but everything else is pretty lacklustre. Cheap build quality, super slow Charging (4h until full). The Ugreen however is better than the Baseus in every regards, but it overheats pretty quickly and is slower than some Qi1 power banks.
I published some lengthy reviews on most models on the Subreddit. They are in German however.
I hope it helps!
Hello everyone, I wrote this review for the new Anker MagGo Slim Qi2 Powerbank on another Subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ChargingSheet/comments/1fs260b/anker_maggo_slim_qi2_powerbank_mit_15w_wireless/
It's written in German, but Google Translate should work for everyone. However, I want to share some charging comparisons to other Qi2 Powerbanks here too!
I did my testings all under the same conditions: 20°C room temperature, iPhone 15 Pro at 20% starting, the Phone was cooled and not used during the whole testing and I put my Phone with the Powerbank attached on a table, which is important, because if you put your phone on a couch or bed, the materials will catch and save more heat from the phone.

I did test some other Qi2 power banks too from others brands, but the testings weren't exactly the same, so I did not include them. However I can say, that both Anker models are better in pure Qi2 Charging than anything I tested.
So yeah, as you can see, the Slim version is as good as the old Anker MagGo. The price tag is hefty, for sure. But at least you get a premium product. However, the iWalk is just slightly worse, but has tons of other cool tricks like an attachable USB-C cable, battery percentage, UFCS support and only costs half the price. But it's not as slim and the materials from the Anker Slim are just in a league of its own.
If you have any further questions, feel free to ask. I hope it helps.
I bought these two on Amazon to try them out:
- https://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Compatible-Charging-Magnetic-Wireless/dp/B0FMB4ZY6F
- https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Compatible-Charging-Certified-Wireless/dp/B0F9L1PPPJ
Both rather expensive, but I thought Anker's stand would be more sturdy than Belkin's, especially when it comes to phone's mount. 17 Pro Max wobbles a lot on Anker's station, regardless of the angle, whenever I use it on the mount with one finger. On Belkin's, it's a bit better but one still has to hold the base when taking the phone off the mount.
Surprisingly, Anker's rating is a bit higher on Amazon. I'm thinking of returning Anker and keeping Belkin.
