Yes, with MagSafe-compatible cases the hold is preserved. Thick cases or cases without MagSafe magnets weaken the hold — the power bank slips off when you move.
5000 mAh = 1 full iPhone charge, 7500 mAh = 1.5 charges, 10000 mAh = 2 charges. Above 10000 mAh the device gets too thick for sustained magnetic hold.
iPhone 12 and newer have the MagSafe magnet rings — perfect. For iPhone 11 or older you need a magnetic sticker pad or a MagSafe case.
Yes, all models under 100 Wh (approx. 27 000 mAh) are permitted in carry-on. Checked baggage is not allowed.
iPhone 12–17 reach 100 % in roughly 90 minutes. Models with USB-C PD 20 W input refill in about 2 hours.
Guide & know-how
Magnetic power banks at RPD — snap straight onto the back of your iPhone 12 or newer and charge wirelessly at up to 15 W via Qi2/MagSafe. We stock slim 5000 mAh models for a full iPhone charge, standard 7500–10000 mAh for two charges, and compact magnetic pads with USB-C input for recharging. Advantage over regular power banks — no cable mess, the iPhone stays fully usable while charging, perfect for the bus, train and travel. Look for the Qi2 logo for the full 15 W — older MagSafe-compatible models charge at 7.5 W. Ships from Basel, same-day dispatch when ordered before 4 pm, 2-year Swiss warranty. Invoice payment available (credit check by Powerpay).
For everyday use 5000 mAh is enough — one full iPhone 15/16/17 charge. For travel or long days we recommend 7500–10000 mAh for two charge cycles. Look for the official Qi2 logo or the label „MagSafe compatible with 15 W" — non-certified models often only deliver 7.5 W or lack a strong magnet. Slim designs under 12 mm let you keep using the iPhone (Maps, music, calls) while charging.
Qi2 is the new industry standard with MagSafe-compatible magnetic alignment and 15 W output. MagSafe is Apple's own version — functionally identical for end users. Standard Qi power banks without magnets slip away easily and only charge at 5–7.5 W. For iPhone 12 to 17 Qi2/MagSafe is the right pick, Android devices like Samsung Galaxy S24+ also benefit from Qi2 (with a compatible case).
Qi2/MagSafe 15 W charges iPhone 12/13/14/15/16/17 to 100 % in roughly 90 minutes. Important — the USB-C input on the power bank determines how fast the power bank itself refills. Models with USB-C PD 20 W are refilled in 2 hours, older 10 W models take 4 hours. AirPods Pro with MagSafe case also charge magnetically at 5 W.
We only stock CE-certified power banks with overcharge, short-circuit and overheat protection. Premium models use aluminium housings with heat dissipation, value tiers use polycarbonate with lithium-polymer cells — both flight-safe (under 100 Wh = approx. 27 000 mAh). No no-name knockoffs — the magnet has to hold firmly, otherwise the bank slips off during calls.
Shipped from our Basel warehouse — A-Post 1–2 working days, express next business day or free in-store pickup in Basel, Aarau or Olten. 2 years Swiss warranty on all power banks, 14-day returns, recyclable packaging. Invoice payment available (credit check by Powerpay), best-price guarantee CH — find it cheaper elsewhere and we match. Personal advice in store.
