my iphone 14 always dies by noon and i really need a good pack for my disney trip next week. i saw the anker 622 online but some reviews say it gets super hot, and the apple magsafe one is just way too expensive for the capacity. any suggestions for a solid battery pack that wont overheat?
@Reply #1 - good point! wired charging is honestly the only way to go if you dont want your phone turning into a brick in the florida sun. ive seen people trying to use those magsafe bricks while waiting for rise of the resistance and their screens just dim to nothing because of the heat. basically kills the battery health long term too. if you want something thats actually reliable and wont break the bank, i would suggest checking these out:
^ This. Also, wired is definitely the way to go if you're hitting the parks. Disney is basically a swamp in the summer, and adding wireless charging heat to that Florida humidity is just asking for a thermal shutdown. So far everyone is saying skip the magnetic packs because they're super inefficient. You lose like 30 or 40 percent of the energy just as heat, which is kinda brutal when you're already low on battery. If you want something that stays cool and actually charges fast, I would suggest looking at these:
Jumping in here... To add to the point above: be careful with magnetic packs in the sun. I once took a generic one to a park and it got so hot it triggered my phones high-temp warning. It was basically a paperweight.
