UGREEN Magnetic Power Bank 10000mAh

A phone that runs low during a commute is awkward to keep using when you’re also trying to manage a charging cable. This UGREEN magnetic power bank is designed to attach to the back of compatible iPhones for wireless charging, with a USB-C connection available when you want wired power. Its 10000mAh capacity and compact, pocket-friendly format are aimed at carrying extra charge through a day out. Keep in mind that wireless output is 7.5W, below the up-to-20W wired output.

Highlights

The main appeal is having two ways to charge in one portable battery. It provides 7.5W magnetic wireless charging and up to 20W through USB-C, and the listing says both can be used at the same time to charge two devices. That could be handy when your phone is attached to the pack and another device needs a top-up by cable.

UGREEN lists the charger for iPhone 12–18 series models. Built-in magnets are intended to hold it in place, while a non-slip silicone surface adds grip. The 10000mAh capacity is stated to charge an iPhone 15 up to 1.9 times, actual results will depend on the phone and how it is used. At 220g, it is portable, though it will add noticeable weight to a phone while attached. The listed size is 4.2/2.7/0.7 in.

How to use it

Attach the battery to the back of a listed iPhone for wireless charging, or connect a device to the USB-C port for wired power. For a quick errand, the magnetic setup avoids carrying a cable just to keep your phone going. If you’re settling in for a longer stretch, a USB-C connection offers the higher stated output. The included cable is useful for wired charging, though the listing does not specify its length.

Practical tips

Choose the charging method around what matters in the moment: wireless is convenient for holding the phone and pack together, while USB-C is the better fit when you want the stated output of up to 20W. The listing gives a wireless charging example of 14% in 30 minutes, and says recharging the power bank itself takes 2.5 hours by cable or 3.5 hours wirelessly. Those figures are useful reference points, not a guarantee for every setup.

It may suit you if you want a magnetic battery for an iPhone from the listed series and value being able to switch between wireless and wired charging. It may not be the best choice if your priority is faster wireless charging: the stated wireless output is 7.5W, so a wired power bank is the more appropriate approach for the higher listed output. The 220g weight is also worth factoring in if you plan to hold the phone for long periods while charging.

Before you decide

Does it charge without a cable? Yes. It is designed for 7.5W magnetic wireless charging with the listed iPhone 12–18 series.

Can it charge a second device at the same time? The listing says it supports wireless charging and USB-C wired charging simultaneously, with up to 20W through USB-C.

How long does the power bank take to recharge? The stated times are 2.5 hours by wired connection and 3.5 hours wirelessly.

In your case

This is a practical choice if you want a battery that attaches to a compatible iPhone and can also provide wired power to another device. For a pocketable travel or commute setup, the magnetic format reduces cable fuss during phone use. Choose a wired-first power bank instead if wireless speed is your main criterion, or if the listed 220g would make an attached charger uncomfortable to carry.
