LISEN Qi2.2 MagSafe battery review

The new LISEN Qi2.2 MagSafe battery strikes a nice balance between size and design, bringing some very interesting features to the lanyard. On the spec side, the key feature is supporting the Qi2.2 standard for much faster MagSafe charging. To me, the most unique feature is a really clever lanyard system for the included cable.

Qi2.2 speeds and thermal control

Standard MagSafe charging can be incredibly slow and hot, especially if you are just trying to get a quick top-up during a trip. LISEN did include support for Qi2.2, which is the fastest MagSafe charging you can do at this current time. They claim this delivers up to 25 watts of wireless power. Because fast charging generates heat and can cause slowdowns, LISEN built in an active thermal control system and uses electric-vehicle-grade cells to keep the battery cool and running as close to full power as possible.

A clever cable solution (hidden in the lanyard

My favorite part of this battery is how it handles the USB-C cable. It includes a detachable 65-watt USB-C cable for charging AirPods, Kindle, etc. When you are done charging, the cable actually clips onto a woven lanyard on the battery. It keeps the cord locked, so you do not lose it at the bottom of your bag. It is a small design choice that makes a massive difference when you are commuting or traveling. I have not seen this in a MagSafe battery before, but when I first got a look at it, it immediately clicked for me. It’s my favorite feature of the LISEN Qi2.2 MagSafe battery overall.

Wrap up on the LISEN Qi2.2 MagSafe battery

If you are looking for a nice middle ground on size and power for summer traveling, the LISEN Qi2.2 MagSafe battery is a great option. It has a 10000mAh capacity without feeling like a heavy brick in your pocket. The smart thermal protection and the unique cable lanyard make it one of the more thoughtfully designed MagSafe batteries I’ve used this year. Again, the lanyard is the best part.

You can pick up the new LISEN Qi2.2 MagSafe battery on Amazon.
