read original related products more articles

MagSafe accessories like MagSafe wallets can upgrade our phones from basic to better. When our phones need a battery boost, most of us can't stay tethered to a wall outlet. Thankfully, with MagSafe battery packs, you don't have to. The battery market is packed with options that can boost your phone's battery life on the go.

From portable power banks to wireless charging stations, there's something for everyone. I've personally tested over a dozen MagSafe battery packs from brands like Torras and Baseus, evaluating factors like design, function, and value. I've also selectively incorporated other picks based on ZDNET expert reviews and evaluations.

What's the best MagSafe battery pack right now?

Right now, our pick for the best overall MagSafe battery pack is the Baseus PicoGo Magnetic power bank due to its practical design, function, and affordability. Should you prefer a slimmer yet comparable pack, the Torras MiniMag is a personal favorite. In addition, the Zendure Supermini Q or ESR Qi2 10,000mAh battery packs are great options for those who need more power on the go.

I, and other ZDNET experts, went hands-on with several of the top MagSafe battery packs, including every pick on this list. We tested charge speed, function, and other features during our everyday activities. ZDNET's mobile accessory experts carefully test products in our daily lives to provide you with the best advice on what's worth buying and the key features that may or may not suit your lifestyle.

The best MagSafe battery packs of 2025

Show less View now at Amazon View now at Baseus The Baseus PicoGo has a traditional rectangular design with rounded edges and corners, a sleek finish, and indicator lights on the bottom of the pack. It's fairly average weight for a battery, and it comes in four colors -- blue, white, black, and pink. Why we like it: It can charge at 20W with wired charging or at 15W with wireless, magnetic charging. Plus, it can simultaneously charge wirelessly and with the USB-C port for a double device boost. When I tested this pack, it increased the battery of my iPhone 14 Pro from 25% to 60% in 30 minutes. About 40 minutes later, the phone was back up to 80%, with half of the battery capacity still left in the pack. It's priced at only $50. The affixed ring on the back of this pack can be used as a kickstand in any orientation as it fully rotates or used as a phone grip. While I've seen plenty of kickstand features before, I've never seen one like this. Who's it for: Individuals looking for an affordable and practical battery option for MagSafe charging will enjoy this bank. Those looking for a built-in stand configuration and a compact format won't be disappointed, either. Also: I carry this MagSafe battery pack with me everywhere Who should look elsewhere: Some Amazon customers said they don't like the power capacity. A 5,000mAh pack is enough for most people to have on hand for top-offs or while on the go, but it isn't large enough for repetitive recharges. It's enough to charge most smartphone models once fully. If you need more than that, I recommend a larger battery pack.
