AquaVault’s wireless magnetic ChargeCard portable charger – a sleek and efficient power boost

Since changing from a superb OnePlus Android cell to an iPhone for various reasons, I’ve been unexpectedly reminded how long it takes for Apple products to charge.

If you’ve ever struggled with keeping your iPhone charged, especially compared to the speedy charging capabilities of other phones like the OnePlus, AquaVault’s Wireless Magnetic ChargeCard Portable Charger might be just the solution you need.

As someone who constantly finds their iPhone running low on battery, I was excited to try out this portable charger, especially given my positive experience with the brand’s original ChargeCard.

First Impressions and Features

The new ChargeCard is impressively slim and lightweight, making it an ideal travel companion. At just 0.3 inches thick and roughly the size of a credit card (3.75″ x 2.5″), it weighs only 3.5 ounces.

Despite its compact size, it packs a punch with a 5,000 mAh capacity, more than double the power of the original model, which had 2,300 mAh. The design is sleek, with premium laser-etched stainless steel, giving it a durable and stylish finish.

One of the key advantages of this charger is its wireless capability. It’s designed to work with a wide range of devices, including the iPhone 12-15 series, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, and other Qi-enabled phones.

The charger magnetically attaches to the back of your phone and starts charging instantly, making it incredibly convenient for on-the-go use. If your phone isn’t MagSafe-compatible, the included adhesive ring ensures seamless connectivity.

Performance and Usability

Using the ChargeCard is straightforward—just hold it against the back of your phone, and it automatically starts charging. In my experience, the charger works well, providing a relatively fast charge thanks to its adaptive IC circuit board, which delivers up to 20W of power.

The LED indicators are a helpful touch, showing the remaining power and charging status at a glance.

However, there are a few caveats. While the magnetic bond works fine without a case, I found it to be a bit weak when my phone was in its thin case.

The charger also tends to get quite hot initially, although it cools down after a while. For better performance, I ended up removing the case whenever I used the charger.

Portability and Practicality

The ChargeCard is incredibly portable, easily slipping into a suitcase pocket without taking up much space. While it could theoretically fit in a folding wallet, it might be a bit too thick for that.

However, its slim profile and lightweight design make it a perfect stocking stuffer for the holidays, especially for frequent travelers.

One minor downside compared to the original model is the lack of a built-in charging cable. This version comes with a separate charging cable, which is a small trade-off for the increased power and convenience.

Final Thoughts

AquaVault’s Wireless Magnetic ChargeCard Portable Charger is a solid choice for anyone looking for a sleek, efficient, and portable charging solution.

While it has a few minor drawbacks, such as the magnetic bond and initial heat, its overall performance and convenience make it a great addition to your tech arsenal. Until we get solar-powered phones, this charger will more than suffice to keep your devices powered up on the go.
