Some things to note: Supposedly the upcoming Pixel 9 series should be offering Qi2 support Apple also seemingly enabled Qi2 support on the iPhone 12 series in iOS 17.4 eventhough they never offically mentioned it like they did on the 13/14 around two months earlier in iOS 17.2 So all MagSafe iPhones can now fully saturate 15W out of a Qi2 charger (which is based off of MagSafe as they literally gave out the spec to the wireless power consortium lol)
I don’t know why I didn’t show pass through. Their previous one had it. And it had a buffer. Meaning if you plugged in the power bank and wireless charged your phone at the same time… it would put more than 20w from the wall, into the power bank. Otherwise, it was only 20w. Thanks for the bit about it coming to the Pixel 9 and being quietly added to the IPhone 12. Update: yeah, it says it outputs 9 volts at 3 amps, which is 27 watts. Since this is so expensive because of the wireless charging, I didn’t do as much testing as I should have. That’s on me. I still stand by it being overpriced. (20 watts is its max input according to my testing and the 9v 2.22a limit printed on the power bank).
For me the selling point is that it magically sticks to your phone. Sure it might not be charging as quickly but that ultimately doesn’t matter because it’s fixed to your phone unlike a traditional power bank. It’s much easier to deal with
Question, I asked support if I could use my iPhone wireless charger to charge this power bank, they said yes, but I have not been able to do so??? “Yes, the Anker MagGo Power Bank (10,000mAh, 15W) can be charged wirelessly using an iPhone wireless charger. The MagGo Power Bank is designed to support wireless charging, and it can be charged wirelessly using any Qi-compatible wireless charger, including iPhone wireless chargers.”
A couple things I missed. It does support pass through charging and you can wired charge your device at 27 watts, but you can only recharge the power bank at 20 watts. So it takes a couple hours to charge fully.
Completely love your power bank videos man ❤️ This highlights how wireless charging just isn’t up to scratch. And also highlights in comparison just what a little power house Ankers 30w nano charger⚡️ is. I actually own three now along with the mighty 250w Anker Power bank with the app. Is just frickin awesome with the app I mean who thought a power bank could have a firmware upgrade 😂…. Love it🎉. Yeah I think I have an addiction to Anker. Some might even say im a complete Anker 😝. But love your videos. I’m now charging my nano power banks from the 250w. I’m trying to see what the power loss is from power bank to power bank charging to 100%. Just a bit of fun. Don’t know if you fancy making a video like that.
I really don't know how I missed your review of this charger before purchasing it. Even though I loved the lime green color, after viewing the video, it was not worth keeping in the long run.
@@eclecticdementia they are expensive and I just don’t use wireless charging. I much prefer wired charging. the speed is faster, the heat is less, and it’s so much more efficient wired. Meaning a full power bank via wireless might get you half a charge, when a full power bank via wired can get you a 70 percent charge. If that makes sense.

@@wwjoshdew It is overpriced. On the other hand, Qi2 options are rare. So if you want that, you have to pay more at the moment. I did my charging tests with my 15 Pro in comparison to a regular Qi Powerbank and yes, it is faster, but not so much.
When I received mine I found it odd that it is only 20w input while being 27w output. I got 50% charge from 4% on an iPhone 14 Pro Max in 20 minutes which I’m pleased about.
A Qi2 car mount is very useful. Not having to fish for the USB-C cable every time I get into my car is nice. Don't even have to think about it. Just plop it on the magnet. You're absolutely right that the Anker nano power bank with integrated cable makes more sense than the Qi2 power bank. If both were priced at $40 it'd about the stand aspect of the Qi2 vs the efficiency aspect of the nano. Though at $70 vs $40, is the stand aspect with less efficiency worth $30 extra? Likely not. There are tons of 37Wh powerbanks in the $20 range so even $40 for the Nano is a bit much. The Anker Qi2 power bank in white was on sale for $56 via Costco Next a week or two ago.
hi there, thanks for your review, very informative. Can I please check, if you plug the powerbank to your phone, and you plug the cable as well to power bank at the same time. Will it directly charge through the cable (20w) and not use the magsafe charge at all, and this avoid the inefficiency plus heat possibilities? Thanks ;)
How much does the phone heat while charging it through this charger. Is it nominal? What is heat dissipated as compared to a normal wired apple charger? Please respond.
@@MrMajinbu my phone has 200 cycles right now and is still at 100 percent health. What is yours at? By setting it to 100 percent, it will take over 10 years to have a bad battery in my phone.
Interesting 🤔 as a daily wireless charger I say this iPhone better you put a wire in WC is too slow I noticed on my note 20 ultra & fold 4 as long the WC was 15w its charges quick plus you get the fast wireless charging notification Finally on my ip 13 p/m has to be plugged it’s more quicker and efficient
yea i dont get the point of wireless battery banks. Ideally you wanna charge your phone fast so you dont have a battery tethered to it. And having a heavy battery on the back is definitely less useable than like a battery bank in a sling/backpack with a cable wired to your phone. I get the convenience of wireless chargers at home/office, but out and about you want the fastest to top off.
Too pricy for a powerbank tbh. But I get it it’s qi2. Powerbanks are really intended just to extend half the life of the phone in case for an emergency till u at least get to a place where u can wire charge comfortably like ur office or home.

this is fantastic for someone like me to be able to charge on the go without any extra cable. one less extra thing to bring to the airport.

My 200w version came yesterday and I’m working on that video. So far my favorites are the 130w and 250w.

A few additions: it supports up to 27W PD wired charging, so max speed for any iPhone. No PPS though. Also passthrough is supported.

Where did you get that iPhone case?
How’s your battery health now? Mine dropped to 99% at the end of December and I used 80% limit. Now it’s at 92%. 🙃
I just bought one of these!
How much time need zero to 100 with QI2??
@@Lionagamer I haven't timed it. Sorry.
How about the heat when you wireless charge your phone?
I mean it did get warm. But nothing that caused concern to me. Wireless charging causes more heat than wired.
How's the heat generation?

It’s @urbanarmorgear. UAG. They make great great stuff.
Hi, does it support PPS?
Does it work on iPhone 11 with a MagSafe case?
Why would you only have your phone set to charge to 80% ?

Are you using while charging?
nice review
Dope vid
Interesting 🤔 as a daily wireless charger I say this iPhone better you put a wire in WC is too slow
I noticed on my note 20 ultra & fold 4 as long the WC was 15w its charges quick plus you get the fast wireless charging notification
Finally on my ip 13 p/m has to be plugged it’s more quicker and efficient
have you tried this in a samsung device?
Can I use it with a Samsung S24?

Looks like a torras case. I have one for my pixel and love it

Can the anker maggo powerbank charge a samsung s20fe
Hi do you set ur iphone battery to 80% limit?
In battery settings
Nice!
Thanks Dad!!
Its doesn’t work with uag monarch, damnn
Josh be careful using that 30 W power bank! It was actually recalled by Anker and they gave out full refunds !
It’s 2024 and there is still shitty products with a premium price tag

Looks cool but you are just paying for Apple’s wireless protocol. #AppleTax
Wow. That is charging worse on android then my cheap wireless power bank for Amazon that is QiNothing. Lol.
