Anker has introduced its refreshed Air+ magnetic power bank, delivering a significant boost in battery capacity and wired charging speed compared to its smaller predecessor. The new Air+ model comes with a 10,000mAh capacity, double that of the earlier 5,000mAh Air, and supports 30W wired fast charging.
Increased Capacity and Enhanced Wired Charging
The Air+ power bank measures 1.47cm thick, making it thicker than the original Air, which was 0.86cm thick. Despite this increase in size, the jump to 10,000mAh offers users extended power for their devices on the go. The wired charging speed has also been upgraded from 20W to 30W, enabling faster recharging of connected devices via the USB-C port.
Wireless Charging Remains Consistent at 15W
While wired charging sees an upgrade, the wireless fast charging capability remains rated at 15W. This wireless output aligns with the Qi2 charging standard, which Anker continues to support. According to the company, this 15W wireless charging rate can bring an iPhone 17 Pro battery from zero to 25% in 19 minutes, demonstrating efficient power delivery for compatible devices.

Simultaneous Charging and Safety Features
The Air+ power bank supports charging two devices at the same time—one via wired USB-C and the other wirelessly through its magnetic pad. Anker emphasizes multiple safety mechanisms built into the device, including temperature regulation to maintain stable and safe charging conditions during use.
Availability and Pricing
Initially launched in China, the Anker Air+ 10,000mAh magnetic power bank is available in four different colors. The launch price is set at CNY 399, approximately $59 USD. It’s important to note that Anker already offers a similar MagGo Power Bank (10K, Slim) globally, priced around $63.99 on Amazon. The Air+ differentiates itself primarily by complying with updated safety standards specific to the Chinese market.
