Price comparison from Backmarket
The ESR Qi2 MagSlim Kickstand Power Bank uses fast 15W magnetic wireless charging—the same speed you find with Apple’s MagSafe. It also has a USB-C port that can simultaneously charge another device with a maximum of 27W and is used to charge the power bank itself.
The charging performance meets expectations for a modern wireless power bank. An iPhone 15 is charged to 50 percent within 30 minutes using USB-C and 32 percent via the Qi2 charging pad. The 11-inch iPad Pro and MacBook Air M3 both charged to 36 percent using a USB-C cable, in line with expectations.
The fold-out stand offers an adjustable angle of 45 to 70 degrees. A stand is always handy if you want to charge your iPhone at the same time as using it to watch or participate in a video.

The integrated LED display shows the charging process and battery status. Some power banks show you the wattage that the power is being output at, but this bit of information is lacking with the ESR. A built-in NTC sensor, which monitors the temperature in conjunction with an AI algorithm and a graph layer, protects the technology.
This is designed to prevent overcharging and overheating. A case is not included, but a 24-month guarantee is. If black is too plain for you, you can choose from other colors including white, sky blue, titanium, and lavender via Amazon or direct from ESR.
