    I got the old Anker pack when I had a 13 Pro so I could pack that instead of a lightning cable when I was traveling, but I haven’t used it since I got the 15 Pro and can just charge with USB-C. I also really didn’t like how hot it got. I think I’ll probably get a regular non-magsafe battery pack that can charge all my devices, I’d rather top up my phone for 15 minutes over cable and then use it as normal instead of having a brick magnetically attached all day.

The pro is that it's small and there aren't any cables, but a 10k would definitely pack more punch if you can handle the extra size. The new Qi2 chargers look promising too, but they're also bigger so far.

    Charging losses. Every battery loses energy in discharging, and every battery loses energy when charging, so both put together stacks the losses up. It’s even worse for a wireless charger too, so if you want to be efficient you should wire charge instead of using the Qi2 pad.

    1. Various Charging speeds cause waste in conversion. (Wh)*1000/(V) =(mAh). Is the equation for battery mah, there is one variable to pay attention to as it will change. That is V or Volts. When charging the wattage ( ex 20 w or 15 w for this bank ) W = Volts times A or W=VA. Amps are more dangerous than volts so when we increase charging speed its volts that go up. Examples: 20W is like 10V and 2A, 5 is 7.5V and 2a ect ect. 2. The converting of the batteries volts into your phones preferred volts is a second power loss. Its often cheaper to make a battery bank that stores its energy at a lower voltage than phones, some devices like an anker 737 have higher voltage batteries as they are intended for use for fast charging devices like laptops ( M1 pro 140ws for example ). 3. Heat is energy, that energy comes from the charge of the battery so some charging even from your wall is not 100% efficient. 4. The energy or watts must travel from your battery bank into the "air" with wireless or a cable with another type of charging which is travel which will cause some type of loss. All battery bank manufacturers list like 10k mah when its actually 60 to 70% of that which your phone will receive in ideal charging conditions. They do this since no one else will be more honest by actually stating how much they expect to be available to the charging device. This would make all there batteries look like they charge less but are for the same price as competitors. www.electricaltechnology.org/2022/01/sizing-battery-calculator.html

    When you said the apple magsafe battery pack maintains the same percent when you use it at 5:09. It had me wondering if you charge both your phone and the magsafe battery pack up to 100%. Then leave the battery pack on your phone all day, how much would it help your phone as you use it through out the day? Can you test and see how much battery you would have left at the end of the day with this method? I would try myself but haven't purchased one but would for sure buy one if that method works.

    I use mine by charging my phone to 90% and then slapping on the Apple MagSafe Battery pack. It gets me through the day with 4-5 hours of SOT without using the phone battery. My tests show that combined with the 90% limit, it increases the phone's battery health by about 2X. So, instead of 500 cycles to 80% battery health, it gets under 1000 cycles (estimated).

    Hi !! Great videos. I have learned a lot and have been waiting for Qi2 external batteries to become available for quite a while. Here is my situation - I hope that it makes sense to you. For the past 10 years I have always used an external battery case that is both a fully protective case as well as an extra source of power for my iPhone. I am hoping that I will eventually be able to find a case that will provide my phone with protection - the additional reserve power - and also be completely (magnetic) cable free when it needs to be charged. Side Point: I will be upgrading to an iPhone 15 Pro Max once I find the system that meets my specifications. I would like to charge my iPhone at home and in my car using two separate magnetic charging stations. One at home that will be by my bed that will charge both the iPhone and the battery case at the same time. Similarly, I would have a separate magnetic charging station in my car that would either draw power from a 12 volt cigarette lighter plug or a USB port. The whole point of my requirements is that I am tired of mini plug ports in my battery case that literally wear out within the first six months due to constant plugging and unplugging the cable. The battery case may still be good, but the mini plug port on the case is worn out and does not make a solid connection. I just want to keep my iPhone safe and protected in an external battery case that has a decent amount of extra power - while at the same time being able to charge both without having to plug in a mini plug or USB C cable. I would really prefer to stay away from the kind of external battery banks that you have been describing. While they admittedly do provide the kind of power and magnetic method of connecting that I am seeking - they are on the bulky side and I like keeping my phone in its charging case and I my pocket. I realize that this is not what you were talking about in your most informative video, but I can see that you have the very same passion for these issues as I have. If the technology that I have suggested does not yet exist, I am hopeful that it may in the not too distant future. Any suggestive help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You !!! Best Regards Michael

The majority of wireless chargers I've seen only charge my s20fe up to 10w, not the advertized 15w on apple made for magsafe chargers. If this charges an android phone at 15w, I'm all for buying this.

    Sorry that was a little confusing. If you connect the battery to power with a USB-C cable, and the battery is attached to the iPhone, it will charge both. BUT if you connect your iPhone to power with a USB cable, it *will not* send a charge over to the battery pack. Basically: No reverse wireless charging from phone to battery. This is unlike Apple's MagSafe Battery pack where you could plug in your iPhone to power and it would charge the phone fully, then move to charging the battery, without the battery being physically connected to a cable.
