I have owned and used dozens of higher-capacity battery packs over the years, but sometimes you just need something small to get you through a single day of heavy use. Think of it like a “top off.” If you are heading out for an afternoon away from the office or jumping on a flight, you do not always want to carry a heavy brick. The PISEN 5000mAh wireless power bank is a super lightweight magnetic charger that fits into a minimal everyday carry setup.

MagSafe charging generates more heat than cable charging, but this battery does a good job of protecting both the power bank and your iPhone from overheating during use
