An almost perfect MagSafe battery pack
on July 29, 2021
Posted by: wildkarrde
from Spring, TX
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nine months after Apple debuted MagSafe on the iPhone 12 line, we still haven't seen any killer accessories that utilize it. This Belkin battery pack is a step in the right direction, but it could use some improvements.
The good: Capacity is great. It has both USB-C and USB-A for legacy devices and can charge multiple devices at the same time providing you don't go over the max wattage. The magnet is decently strong, although they don't recommend holding it just by the phone (and it's too hefty to do so anyway).
The could-be-improved: Given the capacity, I guess the size is inevitable, but it would have been nice to be a little slimmer. While I didn't expect it to be able to charge my Apple Watch, it would have been nice for it to support wireless charging my AirPods case. And while it is technically MagSafe, you really don't want to use it long term attached to the device you're charging as it's quite heavy. It's definitely not meant to be used like Apple's MagSafe battery pack (although it does give you way more charging capacity).
All in all, it's a very good portable wireless charging battery pack and for the occasional "pick up my phone to use it while it's charging" use case, it's very handy. The extra ports mean you can also just have it as your bedside charger (provided you have the cords for the other devices) without needing an outlet.

No more cables in your pocket!

from Orlando, FL
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Most power banks involve carrying cables or having them stick out. The other wireless ones never stay aligned. This one uses the MagSafe magnets to align and stay charging. Super easy, not too big, and great quality shell. It charges with USB C so I usually charge it next to my iPad and it has a couple of ports to use as a normal power bank. Much better to carry than my old banks.

Great Design, Fast Charging, A Bit Bulky
on July 31, 2021
Posted by: EdL0352
from Salt Lake City, UT
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Belkin Magnetic Portable Wireless Charger is handy for anyone who travels. The convenience of MagSafe to your iPhone keeps the connection stable while charging. The dual ports consisting of a USB-C and USB-A allows for charging at least two devices simultaneously. However, this unit was primarily built to charge iPhones with MagSafe. But through a cable connection, it can charge other devices. The 7.5W does charge your iPhone quickly. Although 15W wireless chargers are available for a quicker charge. The unit has convenient LED lightening to determine it’s charge. The on/off switch makes it easy to reserve the charge of your charger. Overall the Magnetic Portable Wireless Charger is a solid piece of gear if you want to have reserve power handy while traveling. The only caveat is that the charger itself is rather bulky in depth. But it will fit in the pocket of your backpack.

Powerbank update for MagSafe
on August 1, 2021
Posted by: Bradley
from Brooklyn, NY
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Boost Charge Magnetic Portable Wireless Charger is an incredibly well built wireless* charger for MagSafe capable phones.
The best use case of this product is as a desktop MagSafe charging pad that can be quickly disconnected for travel. The pass-thru charging, allowing your phone to charge while keeping the battery pack full via a USB-C cable takes away all guess work if the case is 100% when you ultimately travel.
Pros: Excellent fit and finish that doesn't show fingerprints. MagSafe connects reliably with a strong snap. The USB-C port passes through up to 15W (enough to use a MacBook Air).
Cons: Lightly rubberized top, wish the sides were rubberized so I could lean a phone against the pad as a viewing stand while traveling.
Add'l Feature Requests:
Includes a USB-C to USB-C charging cable; would prefer if Belkin included a 3-1 USB-C to USB-A/C/Micro cable. Also, if Belkin sold an Apple Watch USB-A charger puck (with no cable), this wireless charger could be the ultimate tidy travel companion.

MagSafe Notes:
Users of Qi charging cable iPhones that do not have MagSafe can add MagSafe capabilities by adding a MagSafe magnetic ring containing compatible case. Won't charge as fast (5-7W instead of 15W), but can use all the great MagSafe solutions.

Great product
on August 2, 2021
Posted by: dank0419
from Boston
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is great. I have purchased many Belkin products in the past and this one is right up there with the others in terms of quality and usability. The only suggestion I have is to make the Power/On/Off setting more obvious. It is hard to tell when the charger is powered on and ready to use.

Wonderful Charger
on August 2, 2021
Posted by: Texas Dude
from Texas
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The day I opened the box, I plugged in my Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max. Charged it right up. Then I wanted to see what the charger will do when fully charged and the iPhone down to 20%. It was easier to tell when it hit 20% as you get a message on the screen.
With the charge at full charge and the iPhone 12 Pro Max at 20%, I charged up with the case on the phone. The magnet is not strong enough to hold the phone in place with the case but still charged the phone to 100%.
I then used the phone until it was down to 20% again and this time charged without the case. The magnet held the phone in place and charged the phone back to 100%.
I then charged the charger again and performed the test again. Worked just like it did the first go arounds, with and without the case.
I am not a big fan of wireless and QI chargers because phone screen is facing up and if you charge at night and the phone activates for some reason, the phone screen comes alive. However, it was nice not having to plug in cables to charge and keep track of. There is a trade off as to which you prefer.
I would give this charger a plus for my toolbox of things I like for my iPhone.

Versatility and Convenience
on August 3, 2021
Posted by: Mike2781
from Dayton, OH
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the charger last week and I have fallen in love with it. The ability to have rechargeable wireless charger to take with me and I can also use it on a nightstand as a QI-type charger plugged into a USB-C block is great; that it is Apple MagSafe so it always lands my phone in the right place and allows me to use my phone while charging If I wish are just icing on the cake. I wish there was a lighter model (even with less battery life), but the pros well exceed that one con.

Perfect for the traveling power-user
on August 4, 2021
Posted by: bpage
from Columbus, Oh.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I do a lot of traveling in my career and use my iPhone 12 a great deal. I carry along a few banks with me. This new Boost Charge 10k will be my new go-to unit since you can charge and use your phone at the same time. Even though it only charges up to 7.5W, if I am using my phone while it also charges, this is a moot point while in an airport. If I need a quick charge, I always have my fast charging cable. The size and weight of this unit is hefty. It perfectly fits the iPhone 12 Pro with a 1/4” to spare. I cannot comment on the Mini or Max sizing. The magnets connect nicely and it feels safe in your hand as long as you have a MagSafe compatible case. However, you wouldn’t want to run around or fling this around while the phone is attached. I don’t think the iPhone’s magnets are strong enough in general for this.
The 10k feature is great for most users needs. The 20k power banks are sometimes too big and heavy, and anything less is not enough. The new iPhone OEM MagSafe power bank is only going to get you about 60% extra power, while this one gives you multiple charges. I have also charged my iPhone and iPad simultaneously with the USB-C and USB-A ports on the bottom. Another convenient feature I should mention is that when you are not traveling, this power bank is the perfect bedside or office wireless charging station that can quickly be grabbed on the go. That alone makes this worth it for me. I’d recommend this to anyone really.

Pros:
-Well built and comfortable in the hand.
-About 36 hours of charging.
-MagSafe attachment is very convenient.
-USB-C and USB-A additional ports on bottom.
-Can charge phone and power bank at same time.
-Never gets too hot while charging.
-Can be used as a wireless charging station.
-Designed with the traveling power-user in mind.
