What is a magnetic powerbank?

A magnetic powerbank is a compact, wireless charger that magnetically snaps onto the back of your phone, typically using Apple’s MagSafe technology. This magnetic alignment ensures faster, more efficient wireless charging without the need for cables or ports. While optimized for iPhones (12 and newer), Zens magnetic powerbanks also work seamlessly with Android phones that use MagSafe-compatible magnetic cases or accessories, making them a versatile solution for both ecosystems.

Zens’ magnetic powerbanks combine premium design and performance, giving you total freedom from cords, without compromising on power.

How does a magnetic powerbank work?

The newest magnetic powerbanks use Qi2 wireless charging technology, which combines magnetic alignment with the Qi standard to ensure optimal coil positioning. When a compatible smartphone—such as an iPhone 12 or newer, or an Android device with Qi2 or a magnetic case—attaches to the powerbank, energy is transferred wirelessly via electromagnetic induction.

Here’s the simple breakdown:
1. Magnets align the device with the powerbank.
2. The Qi2 coil inside transfers energy wirelessly.
3. Your phone starts charging, no cable needed.

Magnetic vs. traditional powerbanks

Zens’ earlier powerbanks featured kickstands, magnets, and adhesive grips for added usability. The new Qi2 magnetic powerbanks take it further—with faster 15W wireless charging, slimmer profiles, and magnetic snap-on convenience. Designed to match your device with a sleek aluminum finish, they offer a more refined, pocket-friendly way to power up.
