Fast wireless charging has always come with a quiet trade-off. The faster a magnetic power bank pushes power into a phone, the hotter it gets, and heat is exactly what makes phones throttle their own charging speed. Anker built the MagGo Power Bank Pro 2 around solving that specific problem, tucking an actual cooling fan into a battery pack that otherwise looks like any other MagSafe-compatible slab.

That fan changes the math entirely. Anker says comparable 25W magnetic power banks climb past 113°F within 20 minutes of use, triggering the exact slowdown wireless charging is supposed to avoid. The Pro 2 stays closer to 96.8°F throughout a full charge, letting it sustain its rated 25W output instead of quietly dropping to 15W the moment things warm up.

The payoff shows up in minutes, not specs sheets. Anker says the Pro 2 pushes an iPhone 17 Pro to 25% in 10 minutes and 50% in roughly 25, numbers that turn a coffee break into a meaningful top-up instead of a shrug-worthy trickle. A 45W USB-C port handles wired charging on the side, strong enough to give a MacBook Air a bit of runway when an outlet isn’t nearby.

A built-in kickstand does double duty here, letting the phone sit upright on a nightstand or kitchen counter while it charges, which matters more than it sounds once a video call or a recipe needs both hands. The full-color display adds a layer most competitors skip entirely, showing time, weather, and charging status while also recognizing which iPhone model is currently attached.

Overnight charging gets its own dedicated logic. A mode Anker calls Overnight Care paces the charging curve so a phone hits full charge right before a preset alarm rather than sitting at 100% for hours, a small design choice that quietly extends battery health over time. It is the kind of detail that rewards people who plug in before bed and forget about it until morning.

None of this comes at the cost of portability. The Pro 2 weighs 220g and supports every MagSafe iPhone from the 12 through the 18 series, meaning the hardware inside doesn’t demand the newest phone to make sense. Anker offers it in Phantom Gray, Starlight Silver, and Polar Night Blue, colorways that lean muted rather than flashy, fitting a device meant to sit on a desk without asking for attention.

At $109.99, the Pro 2 sits well above impulse-buy territory, positioning itself as a considered upgrade rather than a stocking-stuffer accessory. Anker is betting that solving the heat problem, rather than simply chasing higher wattage numbers, is what actually makes a magnetic power bank worth carrying every day.
