MagSafe Monday: Pelican’s MagSafe Battery Pack is the battery built to go anywhere

A few weeks ago, I wrote about why the Pelican MagSafe Wallet is my favorite wallet for the fall, and the short version was that it’s built for being out and about. The Pelican MagSafe Battery Pack is the exact same idea applied to a power bank: a 5,000mAh MagSafe battery wrapped in a hardshell that’s meant to tossed around, more…

MagSafe Monday: Pelican’s MagSafe Battery Pack is the battery built to go anywhere

Pelican's MagSafe Battery Pack is designed for those who need a power bank that can handle rough handling. The battery pack is built to be rugged and durable, with a hardshell exterior that can withstand bumps and scratches. The battery itself is protected rather than the shell, ensuring that it remains safe even if the battery is dropped or bumped.

The Pelican MagSafe Battery Pack has a capacity of 5,000mAh, which is enough to give a standard iPhone a full charge and provide a solid top-up for a Pro Max model. It charges via MagSafe at up to 15 watts and works with any Qi device, including AirPods and Samsung phones with magnetic cases. A USB-C port allows for charging other devices, and four LEDs on the side indicate the battery's remaining charge.

It's worth noting that this battery pack is a 15-watt model, not a Qi2.2 25-watt model, so it won't match the fast-charging speeds of newer MagSafe batteries. However, for outdoor use, this is unlikely to be an issue as the primary purpose is to top up an iPhone in a pocket. The recharge speed is slower than some other options, so it's best to plug it in overnight to ensure it's fully charged by morning.

Despite this, the Pelican MagSafe Battery Pack is designed to be rugged and reliable, making it the go-to choice for those who need a power bank that can handle the rigors of outdoor life. It can be purchased on Amazon, and for more Apple news, check out 9to5Mac on YouTube.
