Match Pulse: VOLTME MagPak 5K magnetic power bank

Extra power to keep you going

Published

on

While smartphone manufacturers have been equipping devices with larger batteries over the past few years, power banks still remain an essential carry.

That’s especially for heavy smartphone users who have to push their device’s power to the limit — be it for gaming, content creation, and similar demanding tasks.

Or, you know, if you just suddenly ran into an unexpected long day and have to spend extra hours outdoors.

Whatever the case may be, that’s where the VOLTME MagPak 5K comes in. This small, 5,000mAh capacity magnetic power bank easily recharges your phone’s battery wirelessly.

The VOLTME MagPak 5K is chiefly meant for the iPhone 12 to 14 models, but can still pretty much refuel more modern devices, so long as they have magnetic charging capability.

It uses V-Dynamic technology and is MagSafe and 7.5W Qi compatible. With a 9N Magnetic Alignment Force, it has a stronger attachment so users can focus on the titles they play or the scenes they shoot.

Or, if you want to slow it down while recharging your handset, the power bank comes with a kickstand to help you place your device either horizontally or vertically.

Beyond the magnetic charging capability, the MagPak 5K also supports USB-C to USB-C charging to another device.

You can even simultaneously charge two devices at once, or just opt for the wired charging if that’s what your phone is using.

At just 134 grams, it’s an easy carry, and something that fits seamlessly into your pocket. There are also five colors to choose from.

For days where you feel you’ll have extended device usage, it’s best to keep a portable gadget to keep you going.

Who knows, that extra power can spell the difference between going out of battery or being able to transfer money, purchase something at a convenience store with cashless payment, or booking a trip home.

No need to worry about battery drain. Just focus on what you’re doing with your daily life.
