[@fairyboy444]

thank you for making this! yes, please update us with the new replacement. bc if i’m trying to buy a lot of magsafe accessories, if i can save money, the better! and since my 13 pro max lasts for a couple of days on a full charge, i would only use this magsafe charger every so often, that’s why i don’t want to spend the $70USD, and would gladly spend $20 for a “similar” experience.

[@MATechYoutube]

I’ll post the replacement video as soon as it arrives.

[@taintandledoucheinc]

Ask your self if it’s worth wrecking your $1000 + phone by using a cheap knockoff pack? The genuine one does a lot of things no other pack does to protect your phone/battery. At the very least if you’re going to be cheap get an anker or something made by a reputable company. These rip off packs could explode

[@MATechYoutube]

Summed it up perfectly, I review these products to show the difference between genuine and fake/replica and cases aside (and even they’re bad) most fakes/clones/replicas don’t come close to the total package that the genuine items have.

[@selmansenkalp]

@@taintandledoucheinc It won't wreck shit lmao. Genuine one does nothing to protect the battery this one doesn't. The 80+ charging is due to the phone, not the battery pack. Only thing you risk is batteries overheating/catching fire and that is rare as fuck, even rarer when this is a product that you'll rarely use.

[@MATechYoutube]

That’s simply incorrect. The genuine battery pack monitors and charges at a rate where a specific heat isn’t exceeded for the battery, this isn’t done in any of the replicas. The genuine one also manages the battery to ensure a consistent percentage is maintained throughout the day as opposed to the replica that will just continuously charge till its empty. As for the 80% cut off that’s irrelevant as it uses your sleep patterns alongside location services to determine when those charging patterns occur and then ramps up/down accordingly, therefore this would never apply to any battery pack ad the variables will always be different.

[@ahmedaladraj]

I saw these recently and thought they really seem like a good deal, I will be waiting for your video that has the working unit

[@MATechYoutube]

I was hoping got better but predictably let down by AliExpress.

[@levifreeman]

It’s not faulty, mine does exactly the same. Not too fussed though. £20 vs £99. Also I have iPhone 12mini. I saw a review that states that the bottom aligns precisely, the fake unfortunately doesn’t, it sits a tiny bit higher. If you had the real one you could stand your phone up on a table!

[@MATechYoutube]

what part do you think is not faulty? I made a follow-up video with the replacement and that shows the software integration is supposed to work and that this unit was indeed faulty.

[@balkwellmotorcompany6866]

Just bought one of these form eBay advertised as genuine… used this video to work out if it was fake as there were a few things just not quite sitting right with me 👍🏽

[@MATechYoutube]

Happy I helped 👍🏽

[@Branagorn]

Hey man. I got my aliexpress battery pack on the weekend. Seems to work well for the most part. 2 observations I wanted to make, see if you experienced the same. 1. The battery pack will not accept charge from a low wattage charge brick. I had it on my 15w charger overnight, and in the morning it was still completely empty, but it was fully charged in about 2 hours on my 65w (which I won’t be bringing with me everywhere). 2. The battery pack light seems to light up whenever I pick it up. Nothing to do with connecting it to charger/phone. Almost as if it’s motion sensitive, which I find really really weird.

[@MATechYoutube]

1, mine charges even on a 5W charger 2, should only light up when activated

[@zeyedmuslmani5722]

What is the name of it in aliexpress

[@kadend2496]

You need at least a 20w charger

[@marymadigan9707]

Nice review of both I’ll wait till I see your follow up on this 😎🇮🇪💯

I’ve not used the fake ones since the testing but iirc the light would be lit when charging, maybe pulsing light.

[@elpedro138]

Can you send link of this product?

[@MATechYoutube]

Plenty of them, do a search for MagSafe battery 1:1

[@damnfreakingsien]

That plasticky sound when you slap on the battery pack is apple’s attention to detail. That click tells the user that the phone is aligned, especially useful when you use the pack as a wireless charger. Don’t need to visually align like traditional wireless charger.

[@MATechYoutube]

Yes you’re correct, the click is intentional, I realised this after trying a few other genuine ones and the sound is replicated on all off them.

[@SMX815]

It is so slick & sticks to the iPhone like nobodies business! It is super strong magnets for sure!

[@ahmedaladraj]

I would like to see a battery test with both products

[@MATechYoutube]

I destroyed the faulty one as didn’t want to risk using it, I’ll test the replacement when it arrives but I don’t do full battery tests as they take far too long to film, just usage experience

[@JustinSalim13]

Why does my pack battery percentage doesn’t show up on my 13 Pro Max?

[@MATechYoutube]

Is this for a genuine or replica? If it’s a replica then there’s many different versions and not all of them support all the features such as showing battery percentage. If it’s faulty/damaged then the percentage won’t show up unless you line it up perfectly.

[@Mizai]

very good high quality content

[@MATechYoutube]

Thanks

[@jacopo.scarpellini]

I just received a replica and the battery is free to rotate as if the small magnet at the bottom is not present, is this normal?

[@MATechYoutube]

Even with the magnet the replicas do still rotate slightly, it is possible to attach it slightly misaligned iirc

[@jacopo.scarpellini]

@@MATechKZbin mine doesn’t have the small magnet at the bottom (tested with another magnet), just the circular one

[@akyerome5848]

can anyone leave a link to this product?

[@MATechYoutube]

Links only stay up for a short time, do a search for the most upto date links, try adding the search term "1:1" as that normally signifies exact replica.

[@bennyochoa6414]

How long did it take to deliver

[@MATechYoutube]

A month when I ordered but now thanks to brexit my deliveries are taking over 2 month, and that’s if they even arrive 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@mohsun3388]

hi, thank you. I want to ask about 1. does fake one heat your phone? 2. does fake one supports reverce chaging? 3. how long does fake one charge phone? Thank you in anvance!

[@MATechYoutube]

1- yes 2- not the one I tested 3- depends on percentage when connecting and the device it’s connected to, it won’t be quick either way.

[@dontaylor4464]

I just received a cool leather cover for my battery pack from Nomad.

[@MATechYoutube]

Is that just for storage or when in use? I wouldn’t really want any further bulk.

[@vinnureddy1211]

Hello, If we use this fake on to iPhone 15 pro max, is it will damage to iphone battery?

[@MATechYoutube]

Any excess heat will damage the battery long term but the newer phones are better at regulating heat whilst charging. The genuine item will obviously do a better job at this than any clones.

[@vinnureddy1211]

@@MATechKZbin that means short time charging we can use this like between 20 to 80 percentage of charge and if any urgent times like frequent using!

[@MATechYoutube]

The difference is a clone will just charge at its max speed (which isn’t fast) until it’s empty, whereas the genuine one regulates how much charge it’s giving as it’s designed to extend usage and not just fully charge. It will slowly charge and when the phone is locked it will increase speed as it’ll know there’s no other processes being carried out.

[@sufyanpatel8132]

Can Aliexpress Battery pack reduce the iPhone battery health? And real and fake both make iPhone heated during charging?

[@MATechYoutube]

Fake - yes because it won’t stop charging when the phone heats up therefore battery life will be reduced. The biggest selling point of the genuine one is how it monitors the heat of the battery and will stop charging if the phone is too hot

[@sufyanpatel8132]

@@MATechKZbin Thanks 😊

[@gpricch_]

Does the fake one damage your battery quickly or gradually? 😢

[@MATechYoutube]

Probably both as it’ll heat your phone up way more than a genuine one

daym, i just buy the fake one🙁

[@NedFlanders1040]

I expected more from the MagSafe charger, I got my wife one as a stocking stuffer and one for myself (I didn’t open it until Christmas bc I didn’t want her to ask me for one and I would feel bad and have to buy one in the moment she asked) and I was very disappointed with it I got it on sale (70$) but I expected more from it as well as an on off battery but nope I’m debating getting the 20$ ones on eBay

[@MATechYoutube]

What more were you expecting? This isn’t intended to fully charge phones, it’s to extend the battery life. If you’re looking for outright battery then go 3rd party rather than replicas which offer you nothing other than the look of the genuine item.

[@eufelove]

What’s the official name color of your case? 😊

[@MATechYoutube]

That was the tan leather case from Apple.

[@eufelove]

@@MATechKZbin thank youuuu

[@eduardomaldonado1647]

eBay selling same cheap imposters. Frankly they are garbage. They over heat they don’t hold a charge. Everything about them is cheap. I threw mine in garbage about two weeks after getting it. Good thing it didn’t cost me a lot of money.

[@manosm.4718]

I bought a fake battery pack today and it is the same but without any paperwork or apple logo but the box was the same.The charging animation is green instead of white but i can see the packs battery percentage and it says that i have a magsafe

[@MATechYoutube]

Yeah the issue is the battery percentage isn’t actually accurate, it displays random figures as it doesn’t actually communicate that information, it’s just hacking the animation via the nfc tag.

[@oneplusaim1582]

[@multimagical3137]

Bought the fake, no reverse charging, the rest is the same, recognization, widget and so on, also charging time.

[@MATechYoutube]

It’s how the original manages battery charge that is the difference, it’ll slow down when the phone heats up where as fakes don’t do that.

[@AdeelMuhammad]

It is charging your mobile for 20 pounds, what else do you want from it.? Do we really care for that little animation or charging logo.

[@MATechYoutube]

It’s not the animation that matters it’s how it charges, the genuine one minimises heat whilst maintaining the battery throughout the day where as a normal battery pack simply charges non stop till it runs out and has no heat management built in to preserve the life of the (iPhones internal) battery.

[@AdeelMuhammad]

@@MATechKZbin Thanks for information, i did not know that fake battery packs does not stop charging automatically when iPhone battery is 100%.

[@MATechYoutube]

It has nothing regulating it so it doesn’t know when the phone is above 80% for it to slow down. It won’t charge past 100% because the phone regulates that but it won’t optimise the charging and will run empty even when not needed.
