Benks ArmorGo 10K Qi2 Battery Pack ZDNET's key takeaways The Benks ArmorGo 10k battery pack is a Qi2 MagSafe charging option for $63.
It features a 10K capacity battery, an Aramid fiber build, and comes in 2 colors.

I've tested dozens of MagSafe battery packs, and my biggest pet peeve is when they're too big. No one wants to be hoisting a brick to the back of their phone all day, but once you begin get to the 10,000 mAh capacity options, you might as well be selecting stones -- literally.
While phones keep getting smaller, the MagSafe battery pack market is packed with chunky, heavy batteries, so much so that sleek designs like the Anker Nano MagGo 5K Slim or the Torras MiniMag are harder to come by.

However, I just found a pack that strikes a happy medium. Benks' ArmorGo 10K Qi2 MagSafe battery pack blends a comfortable grip with a bigger capacity battery and delivers a charging option I happily carried on vacation all week -- and would again.
Right now, the 5,000mAh option is available on Amazon, while this 10,000mAh pack is online at Benks' website.
This pack is upgraded with certified Qi2 wireless charging (that's 15W wireless and 30W wired). It's thick enough to house the larger battery but still sleek enough to be practical and lightweight enough to carry. It's also wrapped in a durable aramid fiber that leaves a soft-to-the-touch tactile feel.
