Please check out the Logiix QI2 Piston Power it’s super slim but I worry it wont stand up to the test just like you found with the ESR. Thanks for all your hard work producing these reviews too! Hi to Monty
I bought the black ESR 5k mAh kickstand last month, no finger print, magsafe strength is good,maybe it's because with their magsafe case, really strong; charging speed is average to other brands.
Agree completely ESR products are now becoming dump site trash I have also noticed it with their wallets first generations were great but I have purchased 2nd and 3rd generations and the quality has gone down big time I will no longer buy ESR products. Thanks for your unbiased thoughts
Thank you for this. I’ve been looking at these and this one had peaked my interest. Apparently Anker is coming out with a 5K slim that’s tiny. Very interested in that one.
I have the non kickstand 10,000 mah version, I just bought it a few days ago since it was on sale. Charged my 16pm in 30min 50% with the usbc cable (100% full one charge only in 2hrs), and MagSafe one full charge only (2hrs and a half). Still debating if I’ll keep it.
I reviewed this on my channel as well. I think the problem is coming from the size, from my testing all the smaller 5K packs perform slower than the 10K packs. The Belkin 5K pack doesn't support 15 watts even though it's qi2. The Mophie pack is good but it's very big considering it's a 5k pack the size helps it a lot. Ancher doesn't have a 5k pack out yet.
Design Awards never take into account the functionality of a product. "Gee... it looks pretty!" Kind of like how Engineers design things without taking into account the person that has to repair them.
It appears that an older apple magsafe battery can be charged from an iPhone, and OtterBox made one back in 2018 that could be charged from Qi, but is no longer manufactured.
The new ESR Qi2 5000mah also charges at BELOW Qi1 speeds. It took 1 hour to charge a 16PM to 32%, and 2:25 to charge to 61%, then it died. Absurdly, obscenely slow. ESR is outright lying.
Anyway, the kislux fakes seem to be of equal or better quality than the real thing, and I can use the remaining money to buy groceries and pay some bills
ESR's quality has definitely fallen off, hopefully they fix that but I feel like they are a go to for the average person wanting accessories on amazon...
1:00 “Feels better in my hand because of the bulge”
Wonder why has Apple not updated their own official MagSafe battery pack? Love their integrated battery management..
ESR magnets were really good in general, how did they release a product with such weak magnets, it was one of their USPs

I’ve been using the sharge 10k power bank and the magnets are super strong and solid overall.

Yea I'm done with them too, use to be one of my top 3 brands after anker and ugreen, no so much anymore

Is there any published article regarding this upcoming anker 5k slim? Curious to know

I don't think its just size there are other 5000 benks out there that are much faster so no not just size
I got the 10k version with the digital screen. It was nice but I didn’t like also how the magnetic side was so slick so I returned it.
Can you test the Sharge CarbonMag 10k? It is Qi2 and the lightest of the bunch. But I really do wonder how fast it can charge in the real world.
Qi2, back to the drawing board.
is ugreen qi2 power bank good?
Tesla came out with a magsafe battery. I think you should take a look
I really like slow and cool magsafe battery but still i think Anker 321 is best for cool and not so slow battery bank bang for buck tho
Have you tested the UGREEN Qi2 10000mAH with 30W USB-C input/output? Thank you
Can you test the EcoFlow rapid magnetic power bank 5k with qi2?
Title suggestion: I can’t believe this charging speed!

Do you know of a magsafe battery that can itself be charged wirelessly? I want to throw both the phone and battery onto Qi2 pads for charging.

Can someone suggest a good 5000 mah power bank without stand? Thank you 😄

They pay a lot of influencers. Like a lot.
