The Apple MagSafe Battery Pack costs $99 and works with the iPhone 12, 12 Mini, 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max. If you’re looking for something that can double as a charging pad and an on-the-go wireless battery pack, the MagSafe Battery Pack is a solid option. But if you are willing to part with some of Apple’s built-in niceties, there are third-party batteries that are a better value.

Hey I got one of these. I have been using it for a while now and for me always being on my phone it is super practical. It is a life saver and would honestly recommend to anyone that doesn’t mind the extra weight on their phone 👍
Can it work with iPhone 8+
1:48 so that’s why it doesn’t go to 100% charge. I thought something wrong was with my battery pack
How many hours do you charge your battery pack?
I only use a 5 watt charger if I will just leave my phone over the night.😊
Can you still charge with a wire if you don’t have a iPhone 12 or newer?
Dude im broke i just got. it and I don’t have money just to buy the Volt 20 Dome Charger thing i Cant buy it they didn’t ever say that I need that charger
Can this battery work on Samsung ?
I am only able to charge my iPhone 13 Pro once
I don’t know if these are dumb questions ; but do I have to turn the pack on/off?
Also, my light also does not always flash, is this a problem?
i´ve been using it on my X , but it flashes if try to use it while using my phone
Bought this on eBay for $70 brand new.
update: iphone 14 promax up to 20–30percent
is it water resistant?
I heard Apple Magsafe Battery Pack is healthier for the phone’s battery.
I bought this battery pack when I bought my iPhone 13 mini last year. So here’s what happened… I went to charge it fully and tried it on my iPhone and it would say it’s charging because the battery symbol would come up then like 30 seconds later it would turn off. It wouldn’t work right and I couldn’t return it because I lost the receipt. I was so bummed and I’ve hold on to it for a while now. I bought the new iPhone 14 about 2 months ago and figured to try to battery pack to see if it’s works just have to charge it. Wish me luck!
No thanks. Too much $$$ for what you get..!!!
Clean up what I messed up
I have one right now and I’m loving it so far. It extends my iphone 12 mini battery life a lot and makes it last a day while still having 70–60% battery left. My question is, is the battery pack cant retain the energy inside for a long time? Because for example if I charge the pack today, and I want to use it tomorrow or the next day after, my battery pack would be empty even though I’ve charged it before and didnt use it at all. Is it how it supposed to be or mine is just defective? Thanks!
I got a MagSafe battery pack on Amazon for $20 and it is 5k mah , see through, supports both usb‑C and lightning, and has a display that displays the percentage
Two questions: 1. How can you tell how much power is left in the power pack? At minimum, the pack should show green when there’s power and yellow when the pack is low. 2. Also, my powerpack does not charge using the Apple 20W Model A2305 Adapter but will charge with an Anker PowerPort PD NANO. Any idea why?
Just got one and I still have to test it out. I guess this is a better option for me when I travel since I just need to snap it on the back of my Iphone 13.
Welcome to Apple Store NYC 🎉🎉❤❤
It would easier if you could swap out the battery
Why does everyone say it doesn’t come with a cable?? Mine did
This external baterry is affecting the iphone battery health?!
I love the battery pack.. of course all depends on battery usage. I only use Pro Max models.. i have the 14PM… .
2 scenarios:
one heavy usage: 9am 100% iphone 100% battery pack: doing alot of phone calls, screen recordings, sending text messages, work, email, responding to social media messages, then gym listening to music etc… by 2pm battery pack died and phone was 90% so a good 5hrs extra of battery life: by end of day 11pm or so was around 15% battery and then charged my phone that day like around 12hrs of active screen time
somewhat light usage
disconnected my phone at 3:30am 100% battery and slapped on the apple battery pack aslo at 100%
for this one the battery pack died until 5:30pm (NOT EXAGGERATING) so it was around 14hrs but this time i only had like 5hrs 40min of active screen time; so a lighter use. but still was using my phone a bit for phone calls, messages, screen recordings etc. and same thing phone was at 90% after it died.
so again, all depends on use case scenarios, but I feel if you use it with iphone at 100% it comes in super clutch .
and it’s worth it if you use it correctly
I have gone but it doesn’t work with my iPhone 12 idk why 😕
I just got mine today from Best Buy I love it so far no complaints .
I got those third party power banks they will burn out your battery .
I have one and when i put my phone, it starts charging after 15–20minutes
Just got my magsafe battery pack yesterday and I’m not sure if the LED indicators are working normally. When I plug it into the wall with a 20W apple charger the light turns amber for a few seconds and then turns off. The light does not turn green when the battery pack reaches 100% and is still plugged into the wall. The only way I can see if it’s fully charged or not is to actually put it on my phone. Then the LED indicator will turn green for a few seconds before turning off again. So, the pack charges but I’m not sure if there’s an LED issue or if this is normal behavior. Thanks for any input!
Will it charge through your phone case
Does this charge ipads?
This is not a charger, this is to function as an additional battery for your phone. Mainly to prolong your iPhone’s battery life just like the Smart Battery Case where you would always have on your phone if you didn’t mind the extra weight.
Casetify has some cool mini cases for the magsafe battery if you want something other than white. Also it keeps the battery from getting dirty or scratched.
I found a genuine Apple Magsafe Battery for $55 on eBay. They were selling it as “open box”. Look for sellers that sell returns (make sure it’s been fully checked and is guaranteed to be 100% functional.)
That’s a lied I got my 20 watt brick and lighting cord for 8 bucks on Amazon.
Hi Sir,
When i charge through iPhone and connected same MagSafe as secondary charger… iPhone got 100% successful but after which I could see only 85% percent charged for past 5 hours in apple mag safe power pack.
Could you please tell me how to solve this issue!?
I have it I think it should be worth 20 dollars
100$ usd is absorb for a 5,000 mah battery even with mag safe it’s less effective to do it that way anyhow
Only iPhones I have is a 2020 red unlocked 256 gb and a 2020 locked AT&T 64 gb white iPhone 12
If you lose your MagSafe battery pack, can you track it?
USB‑C 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
I just used my Apple battery pack for the first time today. Kind of disappointed as it shows 100% charge for the first 6 hours and then drops to 80% immediately and then an hour later drops to 50%. I assumed being an Apple product that it would provide important information such as battery level in a reliable and precise manner. It went from 100% charge to dead without reliable charge level updates throughout the day…
Does it work through an Ottercase?
$100 is definitely a bad joke when it can’t even top up a mini to 100%
While charging the battery pack, does the led reman lit?
I just brought mine’s out of Ross for 10$ and mine’s is pink
How can l know if my magsafe is running low
Does the LED turn green when it’s fully charged?
