Anker Zolo A1685 Magnetic Power Bank, 10,000mAh, 30W USB-C and Stand

30W max wired charging gives you a faster way to top up a compatible device when you need power on the move. The Anker Zolo also offers 7.5W wireless charging, so you can choose between a cable connection and magnetic convenience.

Its 10,000mAh battery is stated to provide two charges for an iPhone 15. The built-in USB-C cable and adjustable stand make it useful for keeping your phone powered while you watch, read or take a call.

Unlike a conventional power bank that relies on a separate charging cable, this model combines a built-in cable with wireless charging. Its magnetic charging standard is MagSafe, and the product is listed for the iPhone 15 and 16 series.

Everyday use

Attach a compatible phone for wireless charging, or use the right-angle USB-C cable for a wired connection. The angled design helps keep the cable close to the phone, making it easier to hold the device while it charges. For a quicker wired top-up, the output is rated at up to 30W, wireless charging is rated at 7.5W.

The adjustable stand supports multiple viewing angles, so you can prop up your phone for a video or hands-free viewing while keeping the power bank attached. It suits a commute, a day out or a desk setup where you want charging and a viewing position in one compact unit.

Pros

The main advantage is choice: use magnetic wireless charging when you want to avoid connecting a cable, or switch to the built-in USB-C cable when wired charging is more practical. The 10,000mAh capacity gives you a substantial reserve for daily phone use, with two iPhone 15 charges stated by Anker.

Customer feedback often highlights the portable size and magnetic connection. Views on charging speed and reliability are mixed, and some buyers also mention the cable length. These opinions offer useful context alongside the product’s stated charging options and built-in stand.

What to know

The power bank uses the MagSafe wireless charging standard and has a 10,000mAh lithium-polymer battery. Its wired output is up to 30W, while wireless output is 7.5W. The built-in cable has a right-angle connector and is designed to withstand more than 10,000 bends.

When wired and wireless charging are active together, wired charging is prioritised and wireless charging is disabled by default. Double-press the button to activate wireless charging when you want both outputs. The stand can also be used without wireless charging by double-pressing the button to switch wireless charging off. For recharging the power bank, Anker recommends a charger supporting 20W PD or higher rather than a 5V/1A or lower charger.
