Anker Zolo A1685 Magnetic Power Bank, 10,000mAh, 30W Wired Charging

For iPhone users who want portable power with the option to charge wirelessly or by cable, the Anker Zolo A1685 combines a magnetic power bank with a built-in USB-C cable. Its 10,000mAh capacity supports everyday top-ups and travel use. When speed matters, wired charging delivers up to 30W. An adjustable stand also lets you prop up your phone while the power bank is attached.

Key takeaways

This rechargeable power bank supports MagSafe wireless charging and is listed as compatible with the iPhone 17, 16, and 15 series. Magnetic attachment keeps the charger positioned on the phone during use, while the built-in USB-C cable provides a wired option without requiring a separate cable for that connection. Choose wireless charging for a cable-free setup, or connect the cable when you want to use the bank’s up-to-30W wired output.

The adjustable stand adds a hands-free option for viewing your screen at a desk, on a tray table, or while taking a break during a trip. The package includes the Anker Zolo Power Bank, built-in USB-C cable, adjustable stand, and welcome guide. Its white finish and compact listed dimensions of 4.15 x 2.73 x 0.9 inches make it easy to place in a bag for use away from an outlet.

How it fits

Attach the magnetic charger to a compatible phone for wireless charging, or use the built-in cable for a wired connection. If you activate both charging methods, wired charging takes priority and wireless charging is disabled by default. To enable both together, double-press the button, total power is reduced in this mode. The stand can also be used on its own: double-press the button to turn off wireless charging while keeping the stand available.

For wireless charging, phone use and a thick case can affect heat: cases thicker than 0.1 inches (2.5 mm), or using the phone while it charges, may make the phone warmer. If the phone overheats, stop charging and let it cool before using it again. For recharging the power bank, the manufacturer recommends a charger supporting 20W PD or higher rather than a 5V/1A (5W) or lower charger.

Buyer feedback often highlights the magnetic attachment, wireless charging, and handy size for daily use and travel. Impressions are mixed on charging speed and weight, and buyers also report different experiences with how long the battery holds a charge. These are individual experiences, rather than a substitute for the product’s stated specifications.

Who it’s for

This model suits iPhone 17, 16, and 15 series users looking for a portable charger that can attach magnetically, charge wirelessly, and switch to a built-in wired connection. It is also useful for travelers or commuters who want a stand for hands-free viewing alongside extra phone power. At 240 g, it is a practical bag-carry option for people who value a combined charger-and-stand setup over carrying a separate wireless charger and cable.
