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:

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.

Here are my results: (nach = after)

• Nach 10 Minuten: 41%

• Nach 15 Minuten: 32%

• Nach 30 Minuten: 43%

• Nach 45 Minuten: 53%

• Nach 60 Minuten: 63%

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.

Please note: This is a translated version of my original text, which can be found here (in German):

English is not my native language, so please bear with me.

After Anker had the field of Qi2 power banks to itself for a long time with the two MagGo variants of 6,600 mAh and 10,000 mAh, every major manufacturer has now launched its own model. In the following comparison test, I would like to focus on what I believe are currently the best models in the 10,000 mAh class, compare them, highlight their advantages and disadvantages, and try to determine which one is the best on the market.

TORRAS MiniMag (PB10) (69,99€ UVP, 55-60€ on sale):
https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0DJ3528LG

The oldest model is still the most expensive one in the participant field. All models are positioned in the premium segment, with the iWalk being comparatively more affordable.

Size & Weight:
Anker MagGo: 10,71 x 6,87 x 2,26 cm, 251g
Anker MagGo Slim: 10,40 x 7,06 x 1,50 cm, 199g
Baseus NOMOS: 10,80 x 6,79 x 1,96 cm, 230g
iWalk: 10,61 x 6,70 x 2,12 cm, 218g
TORRAS MiniMag: 10,32 x 6,68 x 1,61 cm, 190g

The Anker MagGo Slim is the thinnest of all models, followed by the TORRAS, which is the most compact overall. The Anker MagGo and the iWalk are both slightly thicker, while the Baseus NOMOS represents a good compromise.

Pictures, Build Quality:

The Anker MagGo Slim is the model I would describe as the "most premium." It is the only model with a metal frame. Additionally, the inside is made of a softer, rubberized plastic that the other models do not have. The downside is that it attracts more dust. Overall, however, the craftsmanship is impeccable. There are no sharp edges, and everything is well-designed for a good feel in the hand. The Baseus NOMOS has glossy plastic on the back, which doesn't feel cheap but is likely to be the most susceptible to scratches. The iWalk is entirely made of rubberized plastic, which is definitely a matter of personal preference in terms of handling. Generally, though, none of the models stand out negatively in terms of build quality—only the slightly sharp transitions on the back of the TORRAS model are not optimal.

Specs:
Anker MagGo:

• 10.000 mAh, 38,5Wh Kapazität

• Netto-Kapazität: 31,10Wh bei 9V 3A (81%), 31,95Wh bei 9V 2A (83%)

• 27W Output PD

• 20W Input

• 5V 3A / 9V 3A

• KEIN PPS

• Passthrough

• Display mit Akkustand in Prozent

• Kickstand
  

The Anker MagGo is quite basic in terms of specs. It is the only model with a 20W input, which means a full charge takes an average of 2 hours and 50 minutes. It has a 27W output via PD, but without PPS support. Additionally, the 27W cannot be maintained consistently; at around 25% remaining charge, it drops down to 18W. However, this doesn't matter in practice since most phones are already fully charged by that point. The net capacity is over 80%, which is considered "good." The extras, such as the kickstand, which feels very sturdy, and the battery percentage display are nice touches. Nevertheless, the features are meager compared to the other models and weak relative to the price.

Anker MagGo Slim:

• 10.000 mAh, 38,5Wh Kapazität

• Netto-Kapazität: 32,95Wh bei 9V 3A (86%), 33,57Wh bei 9V 2,22A (87%)

• 30W Output PD

• 30W Input

• 5V 3A / 9V 3A / 12V 2,5A / 15V 2A / 20V 1,5A

• 5V - 11V bei 2,75A

• Passthrough

• Kein Display mit Akkustand in Prozent

• Keine weiteren Extras
  

The Anker MagGo Slim is also basic but offers more features. The specs are a clear upgrade from the regular MagGo. With now 30W input, the power bank charges in an average of 2 hours and 10 minutes—90% of that is reached after just 1 hour and 15 minutes. The output has also been bumped up to 30W, now with more voltage levels and especially PPS support. The range at 2.75A isn't huge, but it's sufficient for 25W. The net capacity is the best among all competitors. Even though it is the thinnest model, it boasts the best efficiency, with peak values of 86-87%! Otherwise, there are no additional features.

Baseus NOMOS:

• 10.000 mAh, 36Wh Kapazität

• Netto-Kapazität: 25,21Wh bei 9V 3A (70%), 26,18Wh bei 9V 2,22A (73%)

• 40W Output PD, 45W Output PPS

• 30W Input

• 5V 3A / 9V 3A / 12V 2,5A / 15V 2,67A

• 5V - 11V bei 5A

• Passthrough vorhanden

• Display mit Akkustand in Prozent, Leistungwert in Watt

• ausklappbarer Kickstand

• integriertes und einziehbares USB-C-Kabel
  

The Baseus NOMOS really packs a punch when it comes to specs and features. It's the only one with a built-in retractable USB-C cable and a wattage display for both wired and wireless charging. You can check at any time exactly how fast your iPhone is charging via Qi2 – super convenient! It also comes with a kickstand. Technologically, this model also stands out. It's the only one that supports 5A PPS, which means it can charge a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra or Xiaomi 14T Pro at 45W – both via the integrated cable and the external USB-C port. The flexible usage options are a big plus! With a 30W input, the power bank charges in an average of 1 hour and 50 minutes. However, the 45W output via PPS can't be maintained consistently. In fact, the power bank throttles down to 30W after about 7-8 minutes. However, it can maintain these 30W consistently. The biggest drawback of the NOMOS is its net capacity. 70-73% of the manufacturer's stated capacity, which is already on the lower side, is below average. The Anker MagGo offers a full 8Wh more net capacity, which is a noticeable difference. If you plan to charge your iPhone multiple times with a 10,000mAh power bank, you should carefully consider the NOMOS.

iWalk:

• 10.000 mAh, 38,5Wh Kapazität

• Netto-Kapazität: 32,11Wh bei 9V 3A (83%), 33,12Wh bei 9V 2,22A (86%)

• 30W Output PD

• 30W Input

• 5V 3A / 9V 3A / 12V 2,5A / 15V 2A / 20V 1,5A

• 5V - 11V bei 3,3A, 5V - 16V bei 2A

• Passthrough vorhanden

• Display mit Akkustand in Prozent

• integriertes und entfernbares USB-C-Kabel, integriertes und entfernbares Lightning-Kabel
  

The iWalk also offers a very comprehensive package. While it doesn't have the power readings of the Baseus NOMOS or a kickstand, it comes with two cables that can be integrated into the power bank: USB-C to USB-C and USB-C to Lightning. This is great for those who are bothered by integrated cables and fear cable breakage. With a 30W input, the power bank charges in an average of 1 hour and 35 minutes, making it the fastest in its class. It can also be discharged continuously at 30W without throttling. The net capacity is very good, only slightly below the Anker MagGo Slim. The PPS range is exactly between the MagGo Slim and the Baseus, with 27-30W possible with compatible PPS phones. Furthermore, it's the only power bank, besides the TORRAS, that supports the new UFCS charging standard, which allows many Chinese phones to be charged quickly, up to 33W.

TORRAS MiniMag:

• 10.000 mAh, 36,5Wh Kapazität

• Netto-Kapazität: 29,10Wh bei 9V 3A (80%), 30,76Wh bei 9V 2,22A (84%)

• 30W Output PD

• 27W Input

• 5V 3A / 9V 3A / 12V 2,5A / 15V 2A

• 3,3V - 11V bei 3A

• Passthrough.

• Kein Display mit Akkustand in Prozent

• Keine weiteren Extras
  

Similar to the Anker MagGo Slim, the TORRAS comes without any special extras. No kickstand, no percentage display, and no integrated cables. However, it scores with good specs. The 27W input is less than the Baseus NOMOS and the Anker MagGo Slim, but the TORRAS charges faster. On the one hand, because it consistently charges at 27W, requiring only an average of 1 hour and 42 minutes for a full charge. On the other hand, the capacity is comparatively smaller. Not as small as the Baseus, but slightly below the two Anker models and the iWalk. However, it can also output a constant 30W, and the PPS range is very good. Like the iWalk, it can achieve 27-30W for PPS phones. I was also positively surprised by the PPS compatibility. In addition to Samsung and Pixel models, which always get PPS from power banks without any problems, there are models like the Nothing Phone (2) or the Motorola Edge 50 that have problems with the handshake to the power bank and often don't trigger PPS. The TORRAS is the only power bank in the test group that triggered PPS reliably at 27W on my Nothing Phone (2), for example. On all other models, the phone could only be charged at 14W. So if you have one of these models and also plan to use the power bank via cable, you can count this as a plus point for the TORRAS. Like the iWalk, it also supports UFCS with up to 33W.

Qi2 Wireless Performance:
The core discipline of any Qi2 power bank is its wireless performance. At the end of the day, that's its number one selling point. To get the most accurate comparison values, I subjected all models to the exact same test course:

An iPhone 15 Pro and an iPhone 13 Mini were charged without a case, specifically from 20% to 80%. Why exactly this range? On the one hand, because it reflects my everyday use and I always charge my phones in this range. For the 15 Pro, I also set the charging limit to 80%. Additionally, it should be noted that the iPhone significantly throttles back from 80%, which unnecessarily distorts the values, as a fast charge is no longer possible. From 80% onwards, it makes no difference whether you use Qi1 or Qi2. Both phones have a battery with 100% battery health. Each phone was also charged at least 3 times to determine an average value and eliminate outliers. It's also important that the room temperature was always the same at 21°C and the phones were cooled down before the charging process with the same standby operating temperature.

All of this was important to achieve the most comparable values possible, because wireless charging is incredibly easy to influence by external factors. The choice of case alone can affect how well wireless charging works or doesn't work. For example, in my everyday life, I usually wear a leather case from Wiiuka for my 15 Pro. Of course, every power bank works flawlessly with it. But over the course of charging, more heat builds up in the case, causing the phone to throttle down the charging power. So it can happen that with such a case, the charging time can be increased by about 10 minutes.

• Nach 48 Minuten: X% / 80%

• Nach 50 Minuten: 80% / 80%
  

When picking the top models, you should also expect flawless Qi2 wireless charging performance. And all models deliver that. The iWalk falls slightly behind with 55 or 58 minutes of charging time. And the old Anker MagGo, with 52 or 54 minutes, is also not at the top of the field. The MagGo Slim, the NOMOS, and the MiniMag all share first place. As a rule, you can expect a time of about 50 minutes for 20-80% for both models. Wireless charging becomes even faster only when active cooling is used. For comparison: The INIU 15W charger with a fan, and the TORRAS 15W Qi2 charger with cooling, even manage 45 minutes - and thus only about 3-4 minutes slower than by cable.

Conclusion:
There's no single best model. The question is rather which one suits you best. All models have their pros and cons, and everyone should weigh them for themselves. Every model is recommendable - especially at the right price.

The iWalk, while having slight weaknesses in Qi2 performance, is the cheapest model. The capacity is very good, and if you're into integrated but removable cables, you'll find a good deal here.

The Baseus NOMOS offers the most for the money by far - provided you can get it on sale for under €50. €90 is more of a fantasy price. Everything fits here - except for the net capacity, which is noticeably lower. If it were on par with the others, it would be the best power bank overall. If you can live with getting roughly 7,000-8,000mAh instead of 10,000mAh, you'll find a good deal here.

The Anker MagGo Slim is more expensive but has the most premium feel, the best Qi2 performance, the best capacity, and is the thinnest model in the test. However, there are no other extras beyond that. Nevertheless, for what it's supposed to be, it's an excellent model and a good buy.

The same goes for the TORRAS, which is equally good in Qi2 performance, has slight deductions in capacity, but makes up for it with its cable performance. Only the high price slightly clouds the overall picture. For under €50, it would be a better deal. Nevertheless, it's also a very good choice.

Only the old Anker MagGo falls behind a bit, which is mainly due to the fact that it is still the most expensive in the entire field. It doesn't have any real weaknesses (possibly the slow input, lack of PPS), but it's not the best in any discipline. A good all-rounder - but not for the price.

My Bagsmart always has room for three MagSafe power banks. Besides the Apple Battery Pack, I carry the Baseus NOMOS and the TORRAS MiniMag because they best suit my needs. I simply love all the features and versatile uses of the NOMOS, for example, I can charge my Xiaomi 14T Pro super fast with it via cable. I can live with the capacity. With the TORRAS, I love that I can also quickly charge my Nothing Phone (2) via cable with it, as the only other power bank. I use a MagSafe case on both Androids and can attach them with magnets and connect them with a mini cable. I prefer this with Androids, especially since neither of them supports Qi2.
