Anker 321 MagGo Battery (PowerCore Magnetic 5K)

Good little power-bank. Works well out of the box, with power at half capacity. Charging well and solo USB-C slot is good and compact makes it easy for travel. Anker’s MagGo series provides a convenient and efficient way to charge your devices wirelessly. If you’re looking for a reliable power bank, the Anker 321 is a great choice!It supports MagSafe, allowing you to magnetically attach it to your compatible iPhone (such as iPhone 14/13/12 Series) for wireless charging without cables.

Anker 621 vs 321 Value Winner

Note: Photos are taken with the chargers on an iPhone 15 Pro with a Mous Limitless 5.0 case.Size:The 621 is thinner but longer than the 321 which, as the product description states, means that the 621 extends (slightly) past the bottom of a non-Max iPhone Pro (tested on a 13 Pro and a 15 Pro). However, for both the 13 Pro and the 15 Pro, once the case was on (Mous Limitless 4.0 on the 13 Pro, Mous Limitless 5.0 on the 15 Pro) the 621 was basically even with the bottom of the case. The 321 does not extend past the bottom of the case but is a bit thicker.The 321 is a couple of grams lighter than the 621.Appearance:The 321 has a smoother finish but seems to show more scratches when tossed in a backpack pocket with keys.

The 621 is a more matte finish and not as slick, which may be a benefit from the standpoint of grip but shows fingerprints more easily. Both chargers are about the same when you put the phone in/take it out of your pocket (occasionally comes loose, depending on how tight your pockets are, but not often). Despite the more rounded edges of the 321 the 621 seems a bit easier to put in a pocket without catching it.The 321 has a round “power” button with inset 4-light charge level indicator on the face of the charger case. The 621 has separate “power” and 4-light indicators on the bottom (either side of the USB-C charging port).Notes:Both have the same nominal capacity and seem to charge at about the same rate. Both allow you to charge a non-MagSafe compatible device using a USB-C cable (provided the charge requirements are similar enough to the iPhone). When attaching to a MagSafe phone/case both start charging the phone automatically, but if using a cable you have to click the “power” button after plugging the charger into the device to activate charging.I paid about $30 for the 621 ($35 less a $5 promotional coupon) and $25 for the 321. Overall I prefer the 621 as the finish seems higher quality and I prefer the thinner box. However, a $5 price difference makes it about a wash, and at $10 less the 321 is the winner.

Great Magsafe Powerbank

Used it for sometime now and I have to say that it is a great option to buy especially considering how small and lightweight it is. While many powerbanks seem to have heating problems, this powerbank happens to control heat pretty well. While it is only a 5000 mAh battery, it does charge the phone pretty fast through wireless charging however it is important to keep in mind that it won't charge the phone from 0 - 100 as it doesn't have that battery capacity. Nevertheless it is a great option compared to the more expensive ones online.

I use it daily

I have an Iphone 14 pro and the battery life isn't great. But I wanted to have something that I could slap on the back and charge it when I needed. But I didn't want to pay the Apple premium for something that had mixed reviews. So I opted for this. If you're someone who needs a lot of juice, or you don't want to charge this everyday, I think Anker sells the a similar product with a bigger battery capacity. But this works for if I'm out of the house all day, or if I'm feeling really lazy and don't want to sleep in the bedroom, I can just attach this and know it will give me enough charge to get through the next day.

Perfect for the iPhone 15 pro.

I had purchased the mophie MagSafe battery pack when the iPhone 12 came out. It worked great with the 12 and 13 series. But the camera bumps have been getting bigger causing the mophie to not work on the 15 pro.So I purchased this battery pack to throw into my travel back. It has perfect clearance for the cameras. I know some people talk about it not having the biggest battery but realistically I need it to top off my battery when I am doing a day trip, I almost always plug in overnight. You will get about 70-80% additional battery on the 15 pro which for me is enough to get me through most of my day. The MagSafe does a good job holding on. The pack is light. Charged over usb C.

Satisfying and convenient.

I'm using this with a pixel 8 and magnetic case. The magsafe feature is a must-have for all my future power banks. Charging is a bit slower and less efficient, but it's hard to argue with the satisfying magnetic snap and convenience of it. Not worried about it falling off my phone at all. I wouldn't rely on this to charge me from critical %, but it's great for extending battery life over time. I wish I had this when Pokemon Go was popular, if you're still playing this would be fantastic.You can charge the battery while it charges your phone, so I woke up today with both fully topped off. I also added a stick on magnetic ring to my steam deck and it's nice to extend the battery there as well, albeit with a cable.

Supplies what it States

Was going to give it a lower rating, but looking back in the description, it states about “.60 “ of a charge for an iPhone 14 Pro Max. It did just this give or take. The pack holds nicely on my case ( I’m using a Casetify Magsafe case) and doesn’t feel too abnormal while having it on while using the phone still. Charge time of the case is pretty good, I’m charging it at night so no issue here. Gets a little warm but that’s expected. I chose this instead of the bigger model for the price point and I am satisfied.

Very convenient

I bought this battery for my wife who uses her phone for business and always runs her phone's battery into the ground often to have to plug it in to the charger during the day. With her mag-safe case she can just let the battery latch on magnetically and charge her phone on the go. While we haven't tried it yet, in addition to having a wireless battery on the go I suspect you could attach the battery to its charging cable and plug it into a charging brick and just lay the phone on top of it on a bedside table or something.The only minor negative I can see is that she used it for the first time and said it was only on her phone for 20 minutes and was almost completely depleted. She didn't pay attention to how much charge was added to her phone. Regardless, it got her ... MoreI bought this battery for my wife who uses her phone for business and always runs her phone's battery into the ground often to have to plug it in to the charger during the day.

We had previously purchased a similar (different brand) 2-pack battery bundle for $40 at Costco, but they were a complete fail and returned. This Anker battery seems to work as advertised and quite convenient.
