Power banks are great for on-the-go power, and Apple’s MagSafe technology makes it much easier to recharge your iPhone with one. Although the Ugreen Magnetic Battery Pack With Foldable Kickstand does not have MagSafe certification, it’s compatible with MagSafe and is just as good as other certified power banks.

The Ugreen Magnetic Battery Pack With Foldable Kickstand is a 10,000mAh battery bank that's more than enough to fully recharge an iPhone 14 Pro Max. It also has a foldable kickstand, allowing you to prop your iPhone horizontally or vertically while charging it.

Comes With a Carrying Pouch and Charging Cable
Like the Ugreen 145W Fast Charging Power Bank, the Magnetic Battery Pack has a carrying pouch and charging cable in the box. This makes it more convenient to carry the power bank around and protect it from scratches from other items in your bag.
The included USB-C charging cable is a bit short, at about 53 cm or 21 inches. This isn’t enough for most users, especially those who like using their phones while charging from a wall outlet. But it should be just right if you’re recharging a simple battery brick.
Design: A Little Battery Brick That Stands Up
The Ugreen Magnetic Battery Pack dimensions are 11.5 x 7 x 2.2 cm (or around 4.5 x 2.75 x 0.9 inches). This is about 55% of the footprint of the iPhone 14 Pro Max and twice as thick, making it easy to grip in your hand.
At 226 grams, the magnetic power bank is 27 grams or about an ounce lighter than the iPhone. So, even if I attach it magnetically to my phone, the total combined weight is just 478 grams or about 17 ounces.
The power bank also has a satin gray finish with a black plastic band around its side. This matches perfectly with my iPhone’s Space Black color. However, this will be inconsequential to most users who protect their phones with a case, including me.
You'll find four white LEDs to view the power level of the power bank. Beside the lights, you have a single blue LED that indicates if it’s charging wirelessly. If this blue LED light blinks, the wireless charger has an issue or interference. You should reset the wireless connection to ensure your phone is charging efficiently.
The Ugreen Magnetic Battery Pack With Foldable Kickstand stands out because of its simple but ingenious kickstand. You can pull out this plastic tab at the back of the power bank from one side, allowing it to stand vertically and horizontally. With this power bank magnetically secured to your iPhone, you can prop up your device and watch movies or TikToks while wirelessly recharging.
Charging: Three Hours to Fill Up, Five Hours to Charge Your Phone
With a maximum input and output speed of 20W wired and 15W wirelessly, you should note that it doesn’t support wireless recharging of itself, so you will need a USB-C cable to top it up.
It took me about three hours to fill the power bank from empty with a 100W fast charger. It then took four hours and 45 minutes to charge my iPhone wirelessly, from empty to full.
Aside from its wireless charging capability, the Ugreen Magnetic Battery Pack With Foldable Kickstand also has two ports: the 20W USB-C input/output port and a USB-A port. Moreover, you can recharge three devices simultaneously on the power bank—one for each port and another via wireless charging.
Capacity: At Least Another Day's Worth
Since the power bank is just 10,000mAh, don’t expect it to last long if you charge three devices. The Ugreen Magnetic Wireless Power Bank has just enough juice to recharge my iPhone 14 Pro Max once and then some using the wireless charger.
This might seem like an error because the power bank's 10,000mAh capacity should theoretically recharge the 4,323mAh iPhone at least twice. However, this is an inherent inefficiency of wireless charging and one of the reasons why wireless charging sucks. That's because only about half of the energy transferred from the wireless charger makes it into your phone—the rest is turned into heat and dissipated into the atmosphere.
Nevertheless, since my iPhone 14 Pro Max’s battery is more than enough for about a day of regular use, this power bank is great for extending its life an extra day. Its placement on my iPhone also means it’s convenient to use the phone even with the power bank attached, although you need to get used to the added weight.
The only downside is it’s awkward to play games that require you to place the phone horizontally, like Call of Duty: Mobile or World of Tanks Blitz, as the power bank gets in the way of your fingers.
But if efficiency is more important than convenience (such as being away from a wall outlet for more than two days), you should stick to wired charging. This will let you charge your phone up to two and a half times. It'll also be more convenient to play games while using wired charging!
Emergency Power on the Go
The Ugreen Magnetic Battery Pack With Foldable Kickstand is perfect for emergency power. I highly recommend that anyone with an iPhone (or any phone, for that matter) keep one in their bag so they can recharge their device anywhere—no wall outlet or charging cable needed.
Its kickstand also makes it great for traveling, as you can use it to comfortably watch movies on your phone. With the Ugreen Magnetic Battery Pack, you can extend your phone's battery an extra day or two.
