EcoFlow battery on sale for less than 30 euros

The EcoFlow Rapid Mag Qi2 10,000 mAh battery is currently available on Amazon for 30.13 euros, a 40% discount from its recommended retail price of 49.99 euros. This price is lower than the lowest recorded price for the product over the last 30 days, which was 31.72 euros.

Wireless charging and design features

The battery is designed for users of iPhone 15, 16, or 17 who need a wireless power supplement. It supports certified Qi2 wireless charging at 15 W, which is double the previous Qi standard of 7.5 W. It also includes a 36 W USB-C port for faster wired charging and an integrated stand that allows the phone to be held upright or horizontally.

Size and attachment mechanism

The battery has a thickness of 15.95 mm and weighs 230 g, making it suitable for carrying in a jacket pocket. It uses magnets with a holding force of 11 N to stay attached to the back of the iPhone without needing to be held. EcoFlow states that the battery keeps the phone's case under 42 °C during charging, which is important when the battery remains pressed against the phone.

Capacity and intended use

The 10,000 mAh capacity is intended to provide a day's worth of power rather than several days away from an outlet. It is less relevant for charging tablets or laptops, as its 36 W USB-C port primarily serves smartphones. On Android, the magnetic attachment requires a phone equipped with Qi2 magnets or a magnetic case.

Comparison with similar products

Compared to the Anker MagGo Power Bank 10K, the EcoFlow Rapid Mag Qi2 offers similar wireless charging capabilities but includes an integrated stand. EcoFlow also sells a Rapid Mag Qi2.2 version that reaches 25 W of wireless charging but costs more. The current offer targets those for whom 15 W is sufficient.

Limitations of the product

The battery's limitations include the 15 W wireless charging speed compared to the 25 W of the Qi2.2 version, the weight felt on the back of the phone, the limited discount compared to the monthly price, and its attachment being limited to Qi2 phones or those with magnetic cases.
