The EcoFlow RAPID 10K is our general winner as it’s a champion when it comes to each recharging capability and velocity at which it may be recharged itself. It has a big capability, refilling a iPhone 16 Professional twice over in our exams—equalling the perfect we’d seen earlier than. We run the iPhone’s battery down, recharge utilizing the ability financial institution, and hold doing this till the ability financial institution is empty.

What makes this energy financial institution particular—though not distinctive—is its brief built-in 65W USB-C cable that can be utilized for fast-charging an iPhone 15, 16 or 17 or refilling the ability financial institution itself. The cable matches neatly away when not in use on the backside of the ability financial institution.

Wirelessly it would work with any MagSafe iPhone (12/13/14/15/16/17) at 15W. iPhone 15/16/17 customers can join by way of the built-in USB-C cable or a separate longer cable by way of the facet USB-C port if required, for quicker 30W charging. Homeowners of earlier iPhones can use a USB-C to Lightning cable as an alternative for quick 20W wired charging from the ability financial institution’s port. Notice that the iPhone 16e doesn’t work with magnetic wi-fi charging.

For quicker wi-fi charging, take into account the brand new technology of Qi2 25W energy banks such because the Kuxiu S3, Baseus PicoGo and Ugreen MagFlow reviewed beneath. That stated, the 25W energy banks we now have examined didn’t match the EcoFlow or Anker on battery capability in our exams.

No 10K magnetic wi-fi energy financial institution can match the EcoFlow on enter velocity—that’s the fee at which it’s recharged itself. Its 65W is way quicker than the typical 30W enter velocity.

Whereas profitable on charging efficiency and capability, the EcoFlow Fast in all fairness chunky in comparison with the Anker MagGo Slim and Benks ArmorGo, and notably bulkier than smaller-capacity 5K energy banks.

A semi-solid state (SSS) energy financial institution is extra energy-dense than a conventional liquid electrolyte energy financial institution as a result of its semi-solid electrolyte is much less susceptible to leakage and thermal runaway. SSS is subsequently extra sturdy, safer and presents extra cost cycles so will last more.

Certainly, not solely does it tick these containers however its additionally boasts three different top-end options: a built-in USB-C cable, built-in kickstand, and super-clear digital battery show.

Solely the iPhones 16 and 17 assist the very quickest wi-fi tech Qi2 25W, and solely the iPhone 15 and later have a USB-C charging port. Older iPhones (from 12 on) can use a 25W charger such because the S3 however are pegged again at 15W—nonetheless quicker than the 7.5W discovered on cheaper energy banks.

The S3 has a 10000mAh (10K) battery capability and managed to recharge that very same iPhone to 177%—so as much as 100% then one other 77% when it got here to a second recharging job. That’s not the highest rating we’ve had in our 10K energy financial institution exams: the champ thus far is the EcoFlow RAPID 10K, which scored 190%, with the Anker MagGo Slim scoring 188%—each are reviewed right here. However 177% is above common and handsomely beat the 25W Ugreen MagFlow 10K (144%).
