Before you choose

The details that change the decision

Check 01

Single-port ratings differ. Shared ceilings are lower

The 10K 45W reaches 45W from one USB-C path and the 10K 30W reaches 30W, but multi-port use shares output down to about 22.5W and 24W respectively. Compare the shared ceiling when two devices will be connected.

Check 02

Wired Nano versus Nano MagGo

The two 10K models center on built-in USB-C cables for wired charging. The 5K MagGo Slim centers on magnetic Qi2 wireless output up to 15W with a 20W USB-C cable as the wired alternative. Our MagGo family page compares the magnetic models in depth.

Check 03

Capacity labels describe different kits

Both 10K models label 10,000mAh with cables built in, while the 5K labels half that in a much slimmer magnetic pack. Neither label is a measured phone-recharge count.

Family questions

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Nano and Nano MagGo?

Wired Nano models charge over built-in USB-C cables and ports. The Nano MagGo Slim adds magnetic Qi2 wireless charging up to 15W in a slimmer 5,000mAh pack, with a 20W USB-C cable for wired use.

Can two devices each get the full single-port rating?

No. The 10K 45W shares output down to a 22.5W total and the 10K 30W to 24W when multiple ports are active. Use the shared ceiling for two-device planning.

Which Nano is smallest to carry?

The 5K MagGo Slim lists 122g and 8.6mm thick, against 215g for the 10K 30W and about 231g for the 10K 45W. It carries less energy in return.
