Qi2 over and over again
In the industry, we can throw around buzzwords without realizing not everyone knows what they mean. So what is Qi2? Qi2 is the new wireless charging standard, designed to improve efficiency, speed, and compatibility across devices from all manufacturers. Unlike the original Qi standard, Qi2 adds a Magnetic Power Profile (MPP), which means better alignment for more efficient power transfer.
For iPhone owners, this battery brings a 15W wireless charging, not the 7.5W limit that you saw on older Qi chargers. It also makes third-party accessories more reliable, as Qi2-certified chargers must meet strict performance standards. In short, if you want wired speeds with wireless charging, Qi2 is the future.
So what’s in LISEN’s new charger?
LISEN’s new MagSafe charger adds a built-in kickstand, making it useful beyond just charging. Whether you’re using FaceTime, watching Silo on a plane, or reading emails, the kickstand makes it easy to keep your iPhone propped up to a nice angle. In fact, one place I’ve started using a MagSafe battery with a kickstand while traveling is charging my iPhone at night and using Standby mode.
It obviously includes MagSafe charging, but it can also output via USB-C, so you can top off your Kindle Paperwhite. As I move toward a 100% USB-C lifestyle, I really appreciate the option to use both.
The 10,000mAh capacity is enough to fully charge an iPhone 16 around 1.7 times wirelessly or 2.1 times via USB-C, meaning you stay powered throughout a very long day or few days. You won’t have to hunt for an outlet mid-meeting or during a long commute.
I spent a week in Nashville a few weeks ago, and this was my primary charger almost all day. I was in and out of meetings and using my iPhone to take notes. I’d charge this battery while I was out to dinner, and then I would get my iPhone to 100% overnight, and then as I go low throughout the day, I’d get back to 100% with this battery. It’s a nice nice for it’s power
Wrap up
Overall, LISEN’s Qi2 power bank brings MagSafe convenience with true fast charging speeds, all in a pocketable design with a great kickstand. If you’ve been looking for a travel-friendly, 15-watt MagSafe charger, this one checks all the right boxes. USB-C output is the cherry on the sundae.
