S25 Ultra + Magsafe portable battery?

[BanthaDan]

I bought an Anker - MagGo Power Bank (10K) thinking it might work but no dice, phone would not charge with the battery placed on the magnet (it does work with my wife's iPhone).

Anyone know of a portable battery (10,000 or higher) that will work with the S25 Ultra? 

I don't have any issues using a bedside wireless Magsafe stand charger. Odd that a portable battery has compatibility issues.

Presume you mean using a magnet case as the phone doesn't have magnets...

I bought the UGREEN 10k 15w one which works

Look out for products with the Qi2 standard

Yeah, the Spigen Hybrid case I have has the magnet in it. Do you know if this one charges at 7.5w or does it go to the 15w? I've seen many that state 15w but actually only go to 7.5w.

Sorry had to check! 😂

Yes it activates fast charge 2.0 which is up to 15w (peak remember, not constant). I specifically wanted this myself.

I've tested this against a wireless charging stand (connected to a wall plug) and can confirm the battery pack was showing less time to complete a full charge.

I've used a free power app which showed it getting to around 12w when I tested it yesterday.

That's awesome - glad to see it!! Just ordered one for myself (almost got the wrong version lol, they have another similar but that is noted that Android will not get the extra wattage. Thanks for the help!!

I have noticed that magsafe battery packs do not sit flat on the S25 Ultra case as the camera cut out in the case and the bottom camera lens foul the battery. You have to rotate the battery by about 35 degrees so it clears the bottom camera to get it sit flat. The round chargers sit flat.

Probably depends on the pack, the UGREEN one mentioned here sits nicely - probably since it's not as tall as some others.

Here is a photo of the smallest magsafe powerbank available attached to the magnetic ring on the Spigen case on an S25U. The magnet on this powerbank is at the edge so the only way it could clear the camera was if the ring on the case was further away from the cameras. All cases for the S25U I have seen so far have had the ring in the same place.Mini magsafe charger on S25U

The UGREEN is small and it doesn't cover the camera. At least on my Spigen Ultra Hybrid case, I verified this yesterday. 

In any case, would you really be taking photos with the battery on?

[BanthaDan]

I checked again and the UGREEN does overhang but does not block any part of the camera. That one in your pic looks like it does cover the lens too much. 

I just took this photo of my ceiling with the battery attached.
