In this video I check out the ArmorGo Qi2 Power Bank (10,000mAh) from Benks — sold at $59.99 and with aramid fibre and a reinforced aluminium frame. On paper, it promises Qi2-certified wireless charging up to 15W, strong N52 magnets for alignment, and better heat management. But how much power do you actually get once it’s charging your phone wirelessly? In this video I break down: • The real usable capacity vs the advertised 10,000mAh • Why wireless charging efficiency still lags behind wired • Heat performance and build quality • Whether this compact MagSafe-style power bank is worth it If you’ve been considering a Qi2 wireless charger for your iPhone, this review shows you what to expect in real-world use.

About This Video

In this video I unbox and test Benks’ ArmorGo Qi2 Magnetic Wireless Power Bank (10,000mAh) and get into the big question: do you actually get “10,000mAh” of usable power? Spoiler: not really—and that’s normal. The 10,000mAh figure is the internal cell capacity measured at 3.7V, but your phone charges at higher voltage, and that conversion costs energy. Once you add wireless inefficiency on top, the real-world usable capacity going into your phone is more like around 6,500mAh (and potentially less depending on conditions). I also talk about Qi2 charging expectations. Yes, it’s Qi2-certified and promises up to 15W, but you’re not necessarily seeing that full speed when you’re charging wirelessly. If you want the most efficient and fastest charge, you’re still better off plugging in with USB‑C. I cover the build too—aramid fibre, reinforced aluminium frame, strong magnetic alignment—and why Benks claims it manages heat better than some slimline packs that can get uncomfortably warm. Bottom line: it’s not “two or three full charges,” but it can realistically top up a big iPhone about once, and it’s a solid, well-built travel-friendly option if you understand the math.
