Anker MagGo Power Bank 10K Review: Worth It Only With an iPhone That Uses the Magnet

At A$149.95 from both Anker Australia and Amazon, the A1654 pairs 15 W Qi2 with a 27 W USB-C port and a stand. An Android phone gets none of the magnet’s benefit.

THE SHORT VERSION

Anker Australia sells the MagGo Power Bank 10K, model A1654, for A$149.95, and the AnkerDirect AU listing on Amazon Australia asked the same on 5 November 2026, shipped by Amazon. Neither page showed a markdown, so that is the price to judge it at.

For the money you get a 10,000 mAh cell, Qi2 magnetic charging at up to 15 W, one USB-C port that runs both ways, a small display and a stand that folds out of the back. Anker's FAQ draws the line early: the bank is not compatible with Android.

Our verdict

A sound buy at A$149.95 for an iPhone 12 or later owner who keeps it snapped on and uses the stand. For Android, or for raw capacity, the money buys parts that sit idle.

A good fit for
An iPhone 12-or-later user with a magnetic case who wants charge, alignment and a kickstand in one block, with no cable dangling.
We would skip it if
Your phone is Android, your case is thick or non-magnetic, or you need more than roughly 1.8 iPhone charges from one bank.

Reasons to consider it

  • Qi2 certified, up to 15 W wireless, with an on-board display for percentage and time to full
  • 27 W out and 20 W in through a single USB-C port
  • Fold-out stand and a 24-month Anker warranty in Australia

The compromises

  • Not compatible with Android, per Anker's FAQ
  • Wireless output drops to 5 W while the USB-C port is charging something
  • About 6,000 to 7,000 mAh usable by Anker's own estimate, at 250 g

What we have not verified: Speed and charge-count figures are Anker's claims. The specification table lists iPhone 12 to 15 series only, so behaviour on later iPhones is not confirmed by Anker Australia.

A closer look at the products, who they may suit, and what to check before buying.

Qi2 alignment, up to 15 W wireless, a 27 W USB-C port and a stand for A$149.95, with Anker Australia's 24-month warranty.

Before you buy: Anker estimates 6,000 to 7,000 mAh usable, and the magnetic side slows to 5 W whenever the USB-C port is also charging.

The iPhone requirements in Anker's FAQ

Anker Australia's FAQ names the software for full speed: iOS 17.4 or later on an iPhone 12, iOS 17.2 or later on an iPhone 13 or newer. The specification table covers iPhone 12 through 15 series. Cases should be magnetic and no thicker than 2.5 mm, with Apple's own magnetic cases recommended.

Android phones are excluded outright, because the FAQ says magnetic wireless charging currently exists only on the iPhone 12 and later. On a phone that cannot hold the magnet, the coil, the alignment ring and a good share of the A$149.95 go unused.

USB-C both ways, and the 5 W rule

The single USB-C port is rated 5 V 3 A or 9 V 3 A out, 27 W, and 5 V 3 A or 9 V 2.22 A in, 20 W. Anker benchmarks its 15 W wireless figure against a 7.5 W wireless bank rather than against a cable, so a cable remains the quicker way to fill a phone.

If the USB-C port is charging a device, the FAQ says wireless output drops to 5 W. A phone on the magnet and a watch or earbuds on the cable at the same time therefore slows the phone sharply. The box holds a 0.6 m USB-C cable and a welcome guide; a wall charger is not on the list.

Real capacity at 250 grams

Anker puts cell and conversion losses at 30 to 45 percent, which leaves an estimated 6,000 to 7,000 mAh for your devices, or about 1.8 charges of an iPhone 15 Pro by its own count. That is the return on carrying 250 g in a 107.3 by 68.8 by 19.8 mm block.

Buyers chasing the most charge per dollar should read the capacity figure before the magnet. The MagGo adds no milliamp-hours over a wired 10,000 mAh bank with the same loss estimate; what it adds is alignment, a display and a stand.

The 24-month warranty

Anker Australia's warranty table gives MagGo power banks 24 months, the same tier as its Prime and GaNPrime banks, while other Anker power banks outside the PowerCore Reserve get 18. Anker states that this limited warranty does not affect statutory rights, so the consumer guarantees under Australian Consumer Law sit alongside it.
