The most recent Qi2 wireless charging standard introduced by the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) has been meticulously fine-tuned with Apple's MagSafe serving as a benchmark, seamlessly integrating the MPP protocol. This refinement is specifically designed to enhance user experience, facilitating effortless alignment and utilization during wireless charging. As a result, iPhone users can now enjoy heightened levels of compatibility, enhanced charging efficiency, and accelerated charging speeds.
In recent months, ChargerLAB has published multiple articles and videos discussing Qi2. These materials have touched upon various subjects, including but not limited to, relevant chips, wireless charging modules, and the debut of factory Qi2 wireless chargers. And now, Anker has also joined the Qi2 wave by releasing several new products. ChargerLAB has discovered that the Anker MagGo Power Bank has successfully obtained Qi2 certification.
The Anker MagGo Power Bank, with the model A1654, features a surface in the wireless charging area coated with flexible material to reduce adhesive impact and prevent scratching of the phone. Additionally, the back of the product integrates a retractable support stand, which, when attached to the phone, can be used as a phone stand. The frame includes buttons and a multifunctional display, with overall dimensions of 107.1 x 68.8 x 19.8mm and a weight of 249g. The battery capacity is 10000mAh.
As illustrated, the certification information for the Anker MagGo Power Bank has been recorded on the WPC official website, with a certification date of December 9, 2023. It has successfully passed the Qi2 new generation wireless charging standard certification, supporting Magnetic Power Profile (MPP) with a maximum wireless charging power of 15W.
To provide a brief overview, the MagSafe equipped with the iPhone 15 series is Apple's proprietary protocol, requiring the use of MFM-certified accessories authorized by Apple to achieve 15W magnetic fast charging. Otherwise, even if charging is possible, it would be limited to 7.5W.
Qi2 MPP upgrades the proprietary protocol to the WPC standard protocol, indicating that the Anker MagGo Power Bank, which supports Qi2, can adapt to iPhone 15W wireless magnetic fast charging. For users exclusively owning Apple devices, this might not be considered a significant upgrade compared to the MagSafe battery pack. However, for those planning to purchase other Android smartphones that will support Qi2 in the future, this level of versatility becomes increasingly important.
The product's design adheres to the style of Anker's intelligent display product line, featuring an integrated LCD multifunctional display on the side of the device. This display can show key information such as remaining battery percentage, graphical battery bar, time to full charge, and discharge time. Compared to the previous generation, which had only four indicator lights, the additional time estimation function is more practical for real-world usage.
In addition to wireless charging, it has a side USB-C bidirectional fast charging port, supporting 20W PD fast charging input and 27W PD fast charging output. The 27W wired fast charging output is not commonly found in magnetic power bank categories, offering a 9V3A voltage level that can provide a full-power charging experience for the iPhone 15 series, charging up to 60% in just under 30 minutes.
In terms of practicality, it holds a pleasant surprise. When using the stand for wireless charging at night, it can simultaneously power the power bank itself, resulting in two fully charged devices the next day. Furthermore, it can also wirelessly charge the phone even when equipped with a magnetic case, ensuring your iPhone stays protected while enjoying continuous power without any interruptions.
Summary of ChargerLAB
In summary, the Qi2 new product brings a brand-new magnetic wireless charging experience for iPhone users. Compared to regular wireless chargers, it doubles the power, enabling faster charging speeds. Users no longer need extended periods of adherence to rapidly replenish power, significantly improving the usability of magnetic wireless charging.
Anker, as a renowned fast-charging brand, has promptly expanded its Qi2 product line. The recently launched Anker MagGo Power Bank supports the Qi2, offering a maximum of 15W wireless fast charging output. It includes a USB-C bidirectional fast charging port supporting 27W fast charging output and houses a large 10000mAh battery. Performance-wise, it exhibits almost no shortcomings. The Anker MagGo Power Bank is now officially available on Amazon US, priced at $89.99. Interested individuals can click the links within the article to make a purchase.
