Two connections share 15W
Each wired path reaches 30W alone, but combined output is capped at 15W. The second device slows both, so use one path when speed matters.

Anker Zolo Magnetic 10K 30W Power Bank review
Exact model: A1685
Product identity · checked 2026-10-12
Our take
Choose the Zolo if you want a built-in cable and usually charge by wire. Wireless output tops out at 7.5W. If you plan to charge mostly on the magnetic pad, compare a Qi2 model first.

The buying decision
Should you buy it?
For magnetic iPhone carry with a real cable backup
Anker pairs a 7.5W magnetic pad with 30W wired charging through a bend-rated built-in cable. The magnet keeps the phone aligned on the move while the cable covers faster top-ups at rest. A kickstand props the phone for video.
Know this before you buy
No OEM page certifies Qi2 for the A1685. The MagGo line carries the 15W Qi2 claim instead. Buyers choosing on wireless speed should compare across that line, not within this page.
Check your phone and case compatibility before choosing magnetic wireless charging. Compare wired and wireless charging.

What this score tells you
Each reading gets a percentile within its group. Higher output, capacity and input score better. Lower weight scores better. Ties share a midpoint. We combine those percentiles using the weights above and round the final result.
A score of 100 means the strongest combination in this peer set, not a perfect power bank. Scores can change when we update a rating or publish another model. Compare scores within the same group.
The score does not include wireless charging, weather protection, price or safety. Capacity is the manufacturer’s mAh rating, not usable USB energy or a phone recharge count. Check the verdict and charging limits before you buy.
Formula version 1.0. Source dates are attached to each reading. See the full method.
What changes the choice
Other drawbacks to consider
Our score uses the printed gram weight
The regional spec table prints 239g alongside 8.46oz, which converts to about 240g. We use 239g in the carry score. Treat the listed weight as approximate when comparing very small differences.
Before connecting devices
Ports and charging behavior
A port’s published maximum and the combined multi-port limit are separate ratings. A device can draw less than the bank’s maximum based on its own requirements and the negotiated charging profile.
Refill at up to 20W over USB-C
Recharging the bank tops out at 20W, below its 30W output. The built-in cable handles both directions, so no separate refill cable is required.
Disable wireless to use the stand alone
A double press of the button turns off wireless output so the phone can rest on the stand without charging. Magnetic strength is rated at 13N of hold.

Exact-model questions
Frequently asked questions
Should I buy the Zolo A1685 or the MagGo A1654?
Choose the Zolo for its built-in cable. Choose the A1654 if you want a charge display and Qi2 wireless charging. Both have a stand. Check today’s prices, then decide which charging method you will use most.
Can two devices each draw 30W?
No. Each wired path is rated 30W individually, but Anker caps combined output at 15W. Plan two-device use around the shared figure.
