The best power banks with wireless charging

The inexpensive power bank in a dual-port design Choetech B650 is notable for its wireless charging function for gadgets. But let's not get ahead of ourselves and analyze the ins and outs of the model in order.

The device is made in a black plastic case weighing 227 g. On one of the narrow ends of its case there are output connectors: one USB A with fast charging Quick Charge 3.0 (up to 18 W) and one two-way USB type C, providing accelerated charging according to the Power Delivery protocol (also up to 18 W). At the same time, the power bank is equipped with a good old microUSB port, which is used only for charging its own battery.

Inside the model there is a lithium-polymer battery with a capacity of 10,000 mAh. In fact, it produces up to 6,300 mAh of capacity - this is enough for two partial iPhone charging procedures or one full charge of an Android smartphone (plus a little more left in reserve). The main thing in the device is a platform for wireless charging of gadgets (smartphones, a case with TWS headphones and other similar devices). The power of wireless charging is small and is up to 10 W.

Choetech B650 captivates with its affordable price and ease of use. The only slightly frustrating factor in the model is the slow charging of its own battery. The entire procedure takes 3-4 hours, and four indicator lights on the connection panel serve to display the remaining energy reserves in the battery cells.

The Sandberg Powerbank PD20W 10000 + Wireless portable battery stands out from its “classmates” with its fabric upholstery on the top panel of the case, which depicts a lightning bolt icon.

The lightning icon stands for support for wireless charging according to the Qi standard, which provides charging power of up to 15 W. All you have to do is place your smartphone on the charging plate, and the process of replenishing the energy reserves in the battery cells of the device will begin automatically. This helps to avoid fiddling with wires and minimizes wear on connectors.

The model also received two physical charging ports: one full-size USB A and one symmetrical USB type C. Moreover, the latter port is bidirectional - you can charge both external gadgets and the power bank's own battery from it. The USB type C interface provides charging power of up to 20 W (via the Power Delivery protocol). Another microUSB port is used exclusively for charging the Powerbank battery itself.

The power bank's capacity "according to the passport" is exactly 10,000 mAh. This figure is given for a battery voltage of about 3.7 V. When converted to a USB bus voltage of 5 V, the real energy capacity of the model is approximately 6,300 mAh. The device looks stylish and is inexpensive, but sometimes premature failures of the power bank occur - they are not widespread, but occur more often than usual.

The Proove Hoodman Magnetic 20W 10000 mobile Powerbank will come in handy for both Apple and Android smartphone owners. The model supports wireless charging technology and fast wired charging.

The power bank is equipped with a single USB type C charging port with support for the Power Delivery protocol. It can squeeze out up to 20 W of power. The same port is used to charge the Powerbank battery itself (up to 18 W). The model is also equipped with an Apple Lightning input interface.

On the "back" of the device there is a magnetic MagSafe mount. The power bank is firmly glued to the back panel of any iPhone (starting with the 12th model). This ensures reliable energy transfer during wireless charging. The technology operates according to the Qi standard and delivers charging power at a level of up to 15 W.

The power core of the power bank is a lithium-polymer battery with a capacity of 10,000 mAh. In fact, it is capable of delivering about 6,300 mAh of energy capacity to connected gadgets at an operating voltage of the USB bus of 5 V. The iPhone 14 can be charged from a portable battery almost two full times, any Android smartphone - one full time with a small "tail". It is supposed to control the residual charge level of the power bank according to the data on the built-in info display.

The Xiaomi Mi Power Bank Wireless Youth Edition 10000 is capable of replacing a desktop wireless charger, which you can also always take with you.

The device is made in a shockproof plastic case with dimensions of 148x71x17 mm and a weight of about 230 g. On the front panel of its case there is a platform for wireless charging of gadgets according to the Qi standard with a maximum power of 10 W. At the same time, the power bank charges other devices through a single USB A port. The peak output power is 18 W. A separate line should be noted for the full support of Qualcomm Quick Charge 2/3 and MediaTek Pump Express technologies.

The power bank itself replenishes energy reserves in the cells of a 10,000 mAh lithium-polymer battery through the contacts of a symmetrical USB C connector. To speed up the procedure, a fast 18-watt Xiaomi Mi Power Bank Wireless Youth Edition 10000 charging is provided. From zero to one hundred percent, the “refueling” process stretches out for 4 hours. The model has multi-level protection against overcharging, short circuit, overheating, overdischarge, overvoltage and exceeding the permissible current level.

The charge level of the external battery is checked by pressing the button, which "lights up" the 4-dot light indicator. The average smartphone can be fully charged from the power bank 1.5-2 times, since the actual capacity of the model is about 6300 mAh. The distance between the gadget being charged and the charging back should be no more than 5 mm - if using a thick case, the smartphone will need to be "undone" in advance.

Mobile accessories from the American company Belkin are not cheap. However, this is more than compensated by the high quality and reliability of the brand's products. The best proof of this is the Boost Charge Pro 10K Powerbank battery.

The model is made in the form of an oblong bar with a characteristic narrowing of the case closer to one of the narrow ends. In the more "slender" part of the case there is a zone for wireless charging of the Apple Watch smartwatch or Apple AirPods 2 headphones. The model is also compatible with other similar gadgets - this is worth checking in practice.

In wired mode, the power bank delivers charging power of up to 20 W using the well-known Power Delivery protocol. Devices are supposed to be connected using a cable via a USB type C connector. There are no other ports in the design of the model. The same interface is also used to charge the internal lithium-polymer battery of the power bank.

Belkin Boost Charge Pro 10K belongs to the category of basic capacity models - 10,000 mAh. In fact, up to 6,300 mAh of real energy capacity can be squeezed out of the Powerbank battery, which is enough for 1.5 - 2 iPhone charges and up to 20 Apple Watch charging procedures.
