Unless you spend your days plugged into a power outlet, chances are you won’t be completely satisfied with your smartphone’s battery life. The best way to combat the anxiety of running out of fuel is to opt for an external battery. Nowadays, there are even wireless solutions so you don’t have to carry a cable in your bag.
But aren’t all cordless batteries undersized and underpowered? No. BaseUS proves it with its MagSafe compatible 10000 mAh external battery. This accessory is powerful enough to offer up to two full charge cycles, depending on the iPhone you have.

Note that if this battery is designed for iPhones equipped with MagSafe magnets, there are accessories allowing you to take advantage of MagSafe charging even on an Android mobile or on an old iPhone.
The magnetic connection between the iPhone and the battery is among the best I’ve tested and you have to seriously go there to accidentally unstick it. I even threw an iPhone with the battery in a bag and the magnets held up.
Power and load
Charging capacity depends on the iPhone you own. With 10000 mAh, it is possible to charge an iPhone 13 about 1.8 times and an iPhone 12 about 2.1 times. That’s more than enough to get you through a tough day at work.

You can even charge two devices simultaneously, one wirelessly, the other via the USB-C port. A practical detail if you want to use the battery with other mobiles than iPhones.
In addition, the battery has a recharge function pass-through. It is therefore possible to charge your iPhone and the battery at the same time by connecting only the latter.

This battery isn’t exactly lightweight. With its 270 grams, it is felt in a bag. However, note all the same the presence of a crutch to make the whole more manageable. It can be used in both landscape and portrait mode. The kickstand is discreet, but it holds without flinching, even when an iPhone 14 Pro Max with a case is glued to it.
On the back of the device, a convenient and discreet LCD display shows the remaining charge capacity.
