Anker 621 Magnetic Battery (MagGo) review
U Anchor The Magnetic Battery 621 is one of the simplest wireless power banks that Anker makes. It offers a capacity of 5,000 mAh and up to 12 W of total power. It also features a MagSafe charging pad for the iPhone 12 series and beyond, offering up to 7.5W of charging power, as well as a USB-C port for wired charging.
The MagSafe area is lightly padded with a PU leather that feels durable. It showed no signs of wear during our tests, like some other soft-touch charging pads.
The Anker 621 MagGo has a simple and clean look with soft edges. The two-tone pale blue color scheme also adds an element of vibrancy that is missing from many others the best power banksand other variants are available, including white, green and purple. This makes the 621 a good match for the elegant designs of the better iPhones.
The only interface is a charge and battery life indicator, represented by small LED dots that are easy to understand. There are four dots that indicate the battery life of the 621, and a singular dot that flashes to indicate charging activity.
One of the standout aspects of the Anker 621 is its shape: it’s impressively thin and light, making it great to travel with and it’s much easier to use your iPhone while it’s attached, compared to other MagSafe power banks plus heavy
However, the price you pay for this portability is the reduced capacity, as the Anker 621 is only rated at 5,000mAh. During our tests, it was able to charge an iPhone 13 Pro in about two hours, reducing the power bank’s battery indicator to two LED points, which indicate a battery level between 25%-50%.
When using the USB-C port for wired charging, the 621 charged a Pixel 7a from half to full in just over an hour, also losing between 50-75% of battery life in the process. Charging the bank itself took about 2 hours and 40 minutes, which is a reasonable speed for a bank of this size.
If you are looking for a power bank that allows you to easily use and charge your iPhone at the same time, then the 621 could be ideal, given how thin and light it is. The vibrant colors also make it an accessory you’d be happy to slip on alongside your device.
