Aluratek - Wireless MagSafe/Qi2 10K Power Bank with Apple iPhone, Watch and AirPod charging, Built-in Lightning and Type-C Cables - Black

BUILD: The build is plastic, and I can’t really complain given the price I paid. Sure, there are more premium builds out there, but this doesn’t feel like an incredibly cheap battery bank, either. The kickstand on the back is a bit flimsy, and I wish it could have a bit more flexibility to use the battery bank on its side with the display facing up, but it’s not a big deal to me. The kickstand does get the job done, but it really only has one angle. Another thing to notice is that the integrated cables are best hooked up to devices from behind the power bank since the cables don’t bend towards the front of the power bank very well. I tested using an iPhone 16 Pro with a Sandmarc leather case, and the camera bump on the case just barely clears the top of the power bank, so if the camera bump on your case is especially large, it could cause an air gap between the charging coils and produce excessive heat and lose wireless charging efficiency. I tried placing my iPhone (with case) on the wireless charging pad in a perpendicular fashion just to see if it would work. And while it does work, there’s a noticeable air gap, so I would just stick to charging it vertically as intended. CHARGING: The power pack supports Qi2 charging up to 15W, and also Apple Watch charging up to 2W. While you won’t be able to charge both on the wireless charging pad at the same time, I do appreciate that both are supported. Since it’s Qi2, the magnets are reasonably strong, and keeps attached to my iPhone even with a MagSafe case on. For wired charging, it has two integrated charging cables; one for USB-C, and another for Apple’s Lightning. While I’m glad that USB-C is the standard going forward, I do still have an old set of AirPods Pro with the Lightning input, so the integrated Lightning cable will come in hand for that purpose until I’m eventually rid of all Lightning devices. And while I could charge them wirelessly, it’s nice that I can charge my phone via MagSafe/Qi2 and also charge my AirPods simultaneously. It’s hard to know the extent to which this can realistically charge multiple devices, but I hooked up an Ultrahuman Ring AIR via integrated USB-C cable, my AirPods Pro via integrated Lightning cable, my iPhone via Qi2/MagSafe, and a pair of Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones via separate USB-C cable. All 4 devices claimed to be charging, which makes this very versatile for traveling purposes. It supports passthrough charging, so even while the power bank itself is charging, it can still charge your devices, albeit I am not sure to what extent the speeds of each output will be impacted by the wattage of your source power adapter, if at all. I also appreciate that in a pinch, you can use the integrated USB-C cable to charge the power bank itself if you don’t have another cable. I think the most heat you’ll experience is if you have it in a pocket or bag while charging, or if your phone is low on power and pulls a constant > 15W to charge. For wireless charging via MagSafe/Qi2, it performs best while on the kickstand, away from direct sunlight, and not enclosed in a bag. Wireless charging is less efficient than wired charging and produces heat as a byproduct, so I recommend using it in a temperature-controlled environment out of direct sunlight to avoid overheating your phone. DISPLAY: There’s a display on the right side, and while Aluratek claims it is OLED, but it is definitely not. It’s just a TFT display and all the black pixels are noticeably lit in complete darkness. So from that perspective, I don’t like that it’s false advertising. However, do I really care that it’s not OLED? No. The fact that it has an informative display is more important than the kind of panel being used. The display can tell you when it’s charging a device and being charged, simultaneously. When you’re charging only the battery bank, it shows the input wattage. But when the battery bank is charging another device via cable, it will only show the output wattage. When using Qi wireless charging, it does not display the active wattage, but it does display that it’s charging a device wirelessly. When charging multiple devices simultaneously, the display will show indicators for each type of device that is being charged: USB-C, lightning, and wireless charging. CONCLUSION: I paid for this charger on sale for $34.99. And while I originally wanted something slimmer and was worried about heat, this Aluratek power bank provides plenty of versatility for traveling or charging at home. 10,000mAh is enough for most people for a day, even with a phone, smart watch, wireless headphones, and more. For the price, it felt worth the risk to try a product from a brand I’ve never experienced, and I’ve been pleasantly surprised. I’m glad to have paid half the price for way more versatility.

Compact, lots of power for its size and best of all self contained cords. Outstanding charger.

Versatile, compact design and great features. Got charged fast and also charged my device faster too. I bit thicker than my previous external battery but it's worth it.

I love this device. It was the only wireless charging device that charged wireless or anything with a wired c cable or apple device. It chares and recharges quickly. It has a stand to so you can stand your device up as it is charging. It is worth every penny.

so good and easy to use. fast charging and easy to bring
