Product Description



Charge Through Magnetic Cases
Charge iPhone 13 and 12 case-free, or through a compatible magnetic case with zero interference. Not compatible with non-magnetic cases.
A Pocketful of Power
With a 5,000mAh cell capacity, Anker 521 Magnetic Battery (PowerCore 5K) provides nearly a full extra charge for your iPhone, allowing 17 additional hours of video playtime and extended productivity.
USB-C Charging and Recharging
Use the multi-directional USB-C port and included cable to recharge Anker 521 Magnetic Battery (PowerCore 5K) or provide a wired charge to other devices.

1.Will Anker 521 Magnetic Battery Charge iPhone 11?
Yes, although it will take a long time to charge, so we do not recommend using the product this way.

2.Will PowerCore Magnetic 5K Wireless work with phone cases?
Magnetic 5K Wireless charges through phone cases that are no thicker than 5 mm. However, since ordinary mobile phone cases do not have magnets, the magnetic attraction will be very weak. We recommend using Apple and Anker official mobile phone cases with magnets.

3. Is the battery safe to use when it gets warm/hot?
This is a normal phenomenon as overheating occurs when using magnetic charging—a process of converting electrical energy into electromagnetic waves that could generate heat.

4.Will PowerCore Magnetic 5K wirelessly charge an iPhone 12 while plugged in?
Yes, it will charge the phone first, then recharge itself. Both the iPhone 12 and the battery can be fully charged in about 4.5 hours. We recommend using a charger with 5V/2A output or above.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2022I have used Anker products for a few years now and I have always been impressed with them. This unit is no different I occasionally drive a company truck for work which doesn’t have usb-c charging and that is one of the main reasons why I chose to get this charger. This charger is small and compact which is great because it can fit in any pocket and I love the fact that if I don’t have a charging wire I can just slap it on the back of my phone which is so convenient! (However make sure you have a MagSafe compatible case if you are using an iPhone) The only downside is because of its small battery it will not charge your phone to 100% (via the MagSafe charging feature I have yet to charge my phone via lighting cable) if your phones battery is lower than 25% but it will give you enough charge to get through your day! All in all I’m very pleased with this charger!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2021It doesn’t have a lot of power but i find it just right to get me by my day. The magnet is nice and strong so it’ll stay on your phone no matter what. I have an iphone 13 pro and it charges my phone to about 80% when its at 10% only downside is that it charges very slow but i dont mind it since its just stuck on the back of my phone and i don’t really notice it. Its just perfect to get you through the day without having your phone die.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2021This battery is priced much more fairly and has a higher capacity than Apple's own MagSafe Battery. Of course, you won't get the software integration of Apple's battery with Anker, but is the software features worth an extra $50-60, while losing out on battery capacity? That's up to you.
Anker's battery has a more than strong enough magnet that keeps itself locked into place, which would be a huge issue if it didn't. I have an iPhone 13 Mini, and this battery charged my phone from roughly 35%-100% and still had a bit of battery left.
The thing about all MagSafe batteries, though, is extremely low charging speeds. Anker's battery suffers from this as well, I believe topping out at 5 watts. This is also an issue with Apple's version as well, though. I think eventually the manufacturers will figure out how to increase both charging speed and capacity in the future, but in the meantime this is one downside for me as you'll have to keep the battery attached to your phone for hours if you're trying to charge from less than 50% to full.
Something else I like about the battery is how well it fits with my iPhone 13 Mini. It's aligned perfectly as if it were meant for the Mini. This makes the previous issue of charging speeds less of an issue, because using your phone with the battery attached doesn't feel overly cumbersome, in my opinion.
Another nice feature with Anker's MagSafe battery (I believe Apple's version does this as well) is that you can plug the battery into the wall to keep it charged, then place your phone on top of it and use it as a charging pad. I believe you may even get slightly higher charging speeds with this method as well.
If you're trying to decide over this battery or Apple's version, here's an overview:
Get the Anker version if:
- You don't care about software integration
- You prefer a larger capacity
- You don't want to pay the "Apple tax"
Get Apple's version if:
- You do appreciate the software integration
- You only plan to use the battery to top off your phone's battery in a pinch
- You like the all-white design and Apple's simplistic branding
- Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2021I have so many charging banks that it might be a slight obsession. Standard bricks, wireless, ones with fold out prongs, solar, credit card size, you name it, I have one. This is the first one that scratched all the itches and was something I didn't know I needed until Apple added the mag option. The fact this battery just attaches to the phone and wirelessly charges it so I don't have to hold it separately or balance or use a cable is awesome. It just works and works well. The magnets hold firm when generally holding it with the phone but it will slip if too much pressure is set. The capacity is ideal to get you that extra few hours of use when needed. On it's own, it's not very large which is great. Maybe a little thicker than I would like, but overall I'm still able to hold the phone with the charger attached without problem (I don't have the Pro). It definitely adds weight to the phone when attached, but not as much as you might think. This is going to be my portable charger going forward.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2025Just the right size for my iPhone 13 Mini. I wouldn't mind a thinner one (this can probably charge my phone a few times over), but it still fits in the pocket of my Levis just fine while attached to my phone.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2023I'm a big fan of Anker's products, so I gave this one a try since it comes in at about 1/3 the price of Apple's magsafe battery.
What I like:
- USB-C input and output
- Small size
- Feels sturdy
- Reliable
I love that this small power bank can charge my phone without a cable and it makes it super convenient to take on the go. I also really like that it can charge other devices via the USB-C port used to recharge it.
What I don't like:
- Gets hot quickly
- Charges magsafe devices slowly (5W)
The main downside of this battery bank is that it charges your phone much more slowly (5W) than the Apple version (15W). It also heats up noticeably, but not to the point where it is painful or seems dangerous. The only other thing that I've encountered is that it doesn't start charging your phone automatically after it snaps on. Once you stick it to your phone you also have to press the button on the bottom to start charging.
Overall, I'm happy with this product, especially for such a discount over the Apple version. It is great for backup juice on the go, but I wouldn't rely on it daily as the slow charge speed and heat might get annoying.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buena batería
Excelente batería portátil. Es una excelente opción para cargar de manera inalámbrica tu iPhone, ya que es Magsafe. Considera varias cosas: al ser inalámbrica la carga no es TAN rápida como con cable. La velocidad de carga es buena-aceptable. Además, tu iPhone se calentará, lo cual es completamente normal por ser carga inalámbrica. Por otro lado, alcanza para una carga completa aproximadamente al iPhone 13 Pro. Es buena compra y la recomiendo ampliamente

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product
The package arrived well protected and on time, even when there was a tornado warning in our area. The battery pack is sleek and small; it is heavier than expected. The construction of the battery pack is solid, like Anker products.
The charging speed is slow; I would look at this product as something that will maintain the phone while connected and not something that will quickly charge the phone.
I like the size, and using my IPhone 12 Pro while the battery is connected is still comfortable.
The magnetic strength with MagSafe cases have been excellent and I am confident it won’t fall off with normal use

Se puede usar sin problema para carga alambrica como inalámbrica, probado en iPhone 13 y audífonos pixel (ambas opciones de carga) y Motorola moto g (solo alambrica), de hecho este teléfono la detecta como turbo power.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Alternative, but very bulky
I've been using this for a little 4 months now, and I've found it to be relatively good. Its cheaper than Apple's offering. Downside is the fact that its a little heavier. Other than that it is good. Charging capacity is decent, and the magnets through a magsafe case are acceptable. Would definitely purchase again. Hopefully there will be a smaller capacity but slimmer and lighter one in the future.
