This Belkin battery pack is not only an upgraded version of the good original battery, but also ZDNET’s choice for best MagSafe battery pack right away.
I really liked the first version of this battery pack, and I like the newly upgraded Qi2 version even more. This new model has the USB-C connector on the side instead of on the bottom of the case, making it easy to use the phone in an upright position while the case is charging. Instead of the charging indicator lights on the side, they are now more visible, located on the back of the backpack. This model is also a bit thinner and longer than its predecessor, making it easier to transport.
And even though this Belkin pack is the true embodiment of the classic brick-style battery booster, there’s still a place in my heart for it because it works so well. Similar to many of the options on our list of the best MagSafe battery packs, it provides an additional 5,000mAh of power to your phone, which is the standard capacity for many MagSafe packs. Its design, while simple, fits my phone snugly (without hitting the edge of my camera lens) and remains secure.
Its secure handle and competitive battery speak for themselves. I took this pack to a Yankees game, a late night out, to work, and even on errands, and I was impressed with the battery’s charge. You can expect your phone to get 25-30% more battery life in about an hour.
What’s more, it comes with a built-in stand that can be easily rotated in and out – no need to fold – and while I initially thought this would be useless, I’m more than happy to be able to prop it up. your phone at any time. Perhaps the best thing about this Belkin package is that it comes in some fun colors, a cool feature that many competitors have yet to match.
Like the previous iteration, this pack is still not the slimmest design I’ve seen. However, the newly upgraded design offers a more comfortable and sleek user experience that feels great in the hand and doesn’t feel as boxy as the real thing. Overall, I’m very impressed with the new shape and think it’s a much-needed innovation.
Apple is currently the only retailer selling blue, green, pink, and sand color options (as well as black), which is a drawback. On the other hand, Belkin only offers black and white versions as well as 8k and 10k models. Regardless, Redditors who own this battery pack really like the intentional upgrades. Some Redditors said that this is also a great package to replace Apple’s discontinued battery pack.
