For a comparison, I just bought this one last week. It came to $30 with the $10 off coupon, and it's 10000mAh. I've only used it once so far, but I like it.

I guess the main purpose of this is to travel. This magnetic battery is quite useless for travel. It charges 7W so very slow. For travel, we need something that charges fast. Best to use wire.

There are better products at a more competitive price point like this one (at time of writing $43 - $15 coupon = $28):
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09ZXWWCGH/

This one does charge at 15W wirelessly but it does get quite warm if you leave it attached for awhile. There's an option to turn off wireless charging and plug in a (short) cable for wired charging which is what I plan to do when I travel with this.

Bought this in feb when it dropped to the $35 range and had an Amazon promo on one of the CCs.
Was hoping it would have been could competitive with the Apple MagSafe as the cheapest I was able to get them at the time was around $60.
Issues were, weaker MagSafe attach and a failure to work with an Android phone to wireless charge(LG V40 ThinQ) which the Apple MagSafe has no issues with.
Plus is that it's USB-C.
Overall, ended up grabbing a few more Apple MagSafe chargers when they dropped to $50 a while ago for Certified Refurbished and they have been the primary packs for the family phones.
I still use this as a backup to those or as temporary power for an iPad when corded for peak power rate avoidance or when I'm not near an outlet.
It does work fine on the MagSafe iPhones though for most use.
i wouldn't buy another of this model presently, but at this price (or lower) it's starting to look a bit more appealing.

Just ordered 621 and this is soo tempting. But 7.5w vs 5w is a huge difference when on the go.

It works perfectly with iPhone mini 12 or 13. Solve iPhone mini's battery problem without breaking your wallet.

I would pay a lot more for at least double the capacity... If it had faster charging as well, would be a winner. I don't really lack cables or basic charging solutions at this point ... All I really "need" is a faster charger / portable power bank with really fast charging and high capacity

Quote from cyberwalker :
621 looks thinner
621 is thinner - purchased one Open Box at around this price point too. It also charges at 7.5w and I think this one only does 5w.

So what's the reasoning behind this product? When you have to use a portable battery charger, it means you are out and about and you want to charge your phone as fast as possible. The 5w wireless charger defeats this purpose so it's useless in this case. Thankfully it does come with a USB C cable for faster charging speed. Might as well get one without a wireless charging feature for cheaper price or higher capacity.
