Tech-U-Can Use (TUCU): Guest reviewer Jennifer Lee was headed to New York to receive a work-related award and for vacation so I gave her a Belkin BoostCharge Pro Magnetic Power Bank with Qi2 15W 10K for her trip. Here’s her experience with the MagSafe-compatible power bank.
Belkin BoostCharge Pro Magnetic Power Bank with Qi2 15W 10K in New York — keeping the iPhone juiced up to snap that money shot of the Statue of Liberty.
I brought this Belkin power bank with me on a recent trip to New York City, and honestly, it was a game changer.
The Belkin power bank in Central Park, New York.
Super easy to use — no cables, no setup.
Just snap it onto the back of your phone and you’re good to go.
The magnetic hold is strong and secure, so I never had to worry about it falling off while walking around or pulling it in and out of my bag.
What I really liked was how hassle-free it felt.
I could keep using my phone while it charged — taking photos, using maps, browsing, listening to music — and didn’t have to think about where to plug in.
It’s about the same weight as my iPhone Pro, so not too heavy to carry around all day. I just tossed it in my bag and brought it everywhere with me.
