I like how you politely respond to many of the comments and questions so I subscribed.

[@zanevtech]

Thank you!

I bought 2 of these to charge my a iPhone 15 Pro Max. No mention in this review of the heat issues. After 40mins, it drops well below 10W, then you eventually get temp warnings on your iPhone. This happens on both packs. These run HOT after an hour of charging. I eventually had to return them and get non-QI2 packs which runs much cooler. I would completely avoid these QI2 packs until they solve the heat issues.

[@zanevtech]

I didn’t mention the heat issue as I didn’t have this issue. The Anker battery pack doesn’t get hotter than the MagSafe Apple Battery pack on my iPhone 15 Pro Max. Both get hot, I didn’t notice that the Anker one gets extremely hot.

[@ernestl709]

Use it to maintain a healthy battery life never from 0

[@dobrecristianro]

I got the MagGo 10000. It'a a great battery but still have a lot flaws. 1st it does not fit the 6.1" iPhone 15 Pro, only the Max. The battery is longer than the 15 Pro when mounted on the phone. 2nd is the build quality. The Charging Pad face of the power bank does not stay flat on the phone when charging, the surface has irregularities (bad quality) and the lower part where the second magnet is located has always a 1-2 millimeters raise from the glass back of the phone. 3rd, on the iPhone 15 Pro it starts to charge with 15 Watts but after 30-40 mins goes all the way down to 5-6 Watts.

[@renato_ny]

#3. Any battery you use will charge faster when the phone’s battery is near 0. I guess it’s how much juice a phone can take.

[@Amar-vi8ht]

My power bank arrived and it looks awesome. The only complaint is the material that scratches so easily that I haven't even used it and it already looks used. They could have rubberized that part at least on the side where it is charged, as Xiaomi did on its wireless power bank. Ok, it will be used, but let's make it durable a little bit

[@zanevtech]

I am starting to notice this with more heavy use. Definitely agree.

[@Mehbymeh]

Is it a bigger capacity? Yes. Is it faster at the start(when device isn’t hot) yes But after two hours of charging it’s the same as Apple’s battery.

[@mirandayu9944]

The charging time depends on the rated voltage and conversion rate. I guess the rated voltage of this product is 3.7V.

[@samnectar]

Not a fan, way too chunky, they should have made it a similar size and thickness to the iPhone. There's no point having it attach to the back of the phone with MagSafe if it's too cumbersome to use. I'd prefer to use a wired power bank that I can put in my pocket while using my phone at the same time.

[@BenjaminTG]

I have one and I like it a lot

[@emgai5157]

I like black and buy blue 😂

Ciao carissimo che marca di cover utilizzi nel iphone? grazie ma sapresti indicare anche il sito o link?

Does it charge an iPhone 13 with 15w wirelessly? Bc only MagSafe devices could charge iPhones at 15w rate

[@zanevtech]

The iPhone 13 if it’s on iOS 17.2 or above should have Qi2 wireless charging enabled. Qi2 is the new wireless standard that allows 15W of charging. Previously, only MagSafe was able to provide that for iPhones, but now you can get 15W of wireless charging on a qi2 enabled iPhone by using a MagSafe charger or a qi2 wireless charger.

[@andresvazquez9212]

Can I use this power bank in mi Samsung S24 ultra ?

[@zanevtech]

Yes you can, if you get a case that has a MagSafe ring. Check out my last video about my favorite case for the s24 ultra.

[@ZotmundSzele]

I am curious about 2 things: 1) How fast can it be charged? 2) does it provide all the 10K capacity it has, so does it charge 4-5000 mAh phone roughly twice? I have bought the Anker 533 (non Magsafe). That is the lousiest powerbank I ever had. It takes about 1,5 hours to charge and hardly charges a phone 1x. (the wobbling of this one does not look very good....)

[@zanevtech]

I agree that the wobble is not something that I’m a fan of for sure. Regarding charging, Anker says that you can almost get two charges on an iPhone 15 pro, which has a battery of about 3300mAh. So this means that you’re looking at around 6000mAh of actual usable capacity of the battery pack. Keep in mind that it’s wireless charging and it isn’t the most efficient way of charging.

[@dobrecristianro]

It's not only the wobble when you place it with the stand on the table, but the other part (charging pad face) is not perfectly plain, it wobbles too on a plain surface and while mounted on the phone, the lower magnet is always raised 2-3 millimeters from the glass back of the phone. This happens because of poor manufacturing quality.

[@ryandoherty9696]

What is best to connect it to to charge the powerbank itself? Thx

[@myksacraft]

Are there any improvements regarding overheating compared to its predecessor Anker 633 10K

[@zanevtech]

I haven’t owned the 633 battery pack, but this one gets slightly warm when it’s been charging for a while. Nothing warmer than any other wireless charger.

[@doygwapo]

Does it get hot enough to stop the charging?

[@zanevtech]

I haven't experienced where it got hot enough to stop charging. Pretty sure the iPhone will stop charging before the powerbank activates any safety feature.

[@nols7404]

dose the samsung s23 Fe Qi wireless charging enabled.

[@zanevtech]

The S23 FE has Qi wireless charging, not Qi2. That means that it will not magnetically attach to this power bank, unless you buy a case with magnets.

[@frostjack187]

Great video! Curious what iPhone case you were using in the video?

[@zanevtech]

It’s the Caudabe Synthesis on my iPhone 15 Pro Max. Link: shrsl.com/4gin4

[@simranjeetsingh5632]

Black is not in stock in canada, shall i buy white one i am afraid it will get dirty]

[@zanevtech]

It might show a bit more wear and tear over time, but functionality won’t be affected.

@@zanevtech thank you very much

[@simranjeetsingh5632]

@@zanevtech you're doing great job keep it going ❤️

[@Yes-ei2cr]

What brand of casing you have?

[@zanevtech]

It’s the Caudabe Synthesis, I made another video on the channel about it.

[@jonjon4022]

Can you use it to charge your Apple Watch?

[@zanevtech]

Nope, the Apple Watch uses magnetic charging.

[@jafniazmi]

What iphone case you use?

[@zanevtech]

The case is the Caudabe Synthesis for the iPhone 15 Pro Max, also available for other devices as well. I will be creating a review of it soon, but here is the link: shrsl.com/4gi8c

[@x7wolverines7x]

I got this and it heated up my phone like crazy

[@zanevtech]

Just curious, which iPhone are you using and is there a case between the iPhone and battery pack?

[@ernestl709]

Make sure you’re brightness isn’t high & make sure you don’t have a lot of appliances open and not using it a lot while charging I haven’t had a problem with heat but that’s what I do when using it

[@renato_ny]

Just curious. Why is Qi2 pronounced “chee two” v

[@zanevtech]

No idea 🤷🏻‍♂️ Am I saying it wrong?

[@renato_ny]

No. You are pronouncing it similar to other reviewers. I would pronounce it “Q” “I” two haha 🤣

[@FaisalSO]

@@renato_nyit’s Chinese, qi = chee

Wireless charging still trash!!!

[@drlau9]

Aesthetic vs efficiency. It’s like a v12 Range Rover, don’t buy it for efficiency.

[@chrish3305]

Horses for courses. I love the convenience of wireless charging. The disadvantages are exaggerated, but that’s my opinion - am sure others feel the same. At the end of the day if wired is your preferred charging method that’s good too

[@drlau9]

@@chrish3305 the Qi2 really has improved charging times so long as the phone is cold it can keep the speeds up. I also carry a 28600 anker prime, Omnicharge 20, 2 x anker 100 watt gan plugs. A 1.5hr game play on my Win Max 2 will kill the anker prime, and with its internal battery the prime can be recharged fully before the laptop hits 50% Phone is my internet, so it’ll live on this Mag go Qi2

Nonsense review. Didnt even say how fast you can charge an iPhone or how fast you charge it from 0-100😂
