Ultimately, this battery works well for me, and I think it would work well for others. This is entirely a non-issue, rather, just me looking for uniformity. However, this is only because the kickstand makes the back of the battery “flat,” rather than rounded like the front of the device that connects to the phone. Personally, I am not the largest fan of the foldable kickstand that is included with the device. The second problem also isn’t really a problem, rather personal preference. However, I can’t really fault Anker for its decision to go with USB-C.
however, it is a nuisance that my phone and my external battery cannot be charged by the same cord. Now, I cannot fully fault the company for choosing USB-C, as it is something Apple should have done with the iPhone line as well. The Anker 622 uses bi-directional USB-C to charge.
While the battery is rather beefy in terms of power, there are some small drawbacks. The foldable stand on the Anker 622 allows for easy viewing of media. Which isn’t bad for a device that can handle all day use. This is largely thanks to the battery’s 7.5W charging speed.
Though I typically do my best to charge external batteries alongside my device the night prior to needing them, charging the Anker from zero to a hundred took me around an hour and a half. Though my adventures at Cedar Point ended early (I picked a terrible day to go), I know the Anker 622 will be my partner for the next time.Ĭoncerning charging the Anker 622, I will give it credit for being rather fast. However, the battery no doubt would have allowed me to stay on my phone throughout the day, and well into the night. With the Anker 622 attached to my phone, I gave no worries to the things that would typically kill my iPhone battery, such as playing games while waiting in long lines.įive hours into my day, my phone was still going strong, though the Anker was starting to lose much of its juice. Starting my day around noon, I began walking around Cedar Point playing the game as often as I could. The area was not only a great place to ride roller coasters (Millennium Force being the best), but is also an ample opportunity to play Pokémon Go, and thus really see what the Anker 622 is capable of. Three hours of non-stop screen time is okay, but what about using the battery all day? For my next experiment, I took the battery with me to Cedar Point, a theme-park located in Sandusky, Ohio. The back of the Anker 622 easily connects to an iPhone thanks to MagSafe tech. While it handled a small event, I wanted to see how the battery could handle an all day adventure. This is with my phone running the game with the screen on for the entire three hours of the event. By the end of the event, my phone was fully charged, and the Anker still had about half of its life. The 5000mAh capacity knocks the sails off the iPhone 12’s 2815mAh battery. Using this during Pokémon Go’s community day didn’t even cause the battery to break a sweat. While I wouldn’t want it attached to my phone all the time, it certainly would not bother me, especially thanks to the battery boost. While the battery itself is slightly thicker than my phone, it overall did not feel uncomfortable in the slightest. Thanks to the MagSafe tech, the battery attached directly to my case.
Right off the bat, I appreciated how well the battery attached to my phone. I immediately started the event with the Anker 622 attached to my iPhone. While the event has been shortened from six hours to three hours, it was still plenty of time to see what the Anker 622 was capable of.įor this experiment, I used an iPhone 12 with a battery that is still fairly in good health (around 87% max charging). First Test of the Anker 622 Magnetic Batteryįor the first test, I decided to bring the battery with me during a Pokémon Go community day event. While the game isn’t the most graphically advanced, between your screen constantly running as well as your GPS constantly running, the game is largely known as a battery drainer. As a semi-avid player, large events require a large battery. When it comes to battery life, I need a strong battery primarily for one thing: Pokémon Go. It charges via USB-C, and the back includes a foldable kickstand that allows the device to prop upright.įor this review, I took the Anker 622 with me for two major events. It comes in a variety of colors, from Dolomite White, Interstellar Gray, Buds Green, Misty Blue and Lilac Purple. Featuring 5000mAh of power at a 7.5W charging speed, the Anker 622 is built for use.
