Testing MagSafe battery packs is one of the larger parts of my job at ZDNET. Over the last year, I’ve gone hands-on with over a dozen battery packs, testing each for its function, style, features, and, most importantly, charging capabilities. I also carry one at all times, partly due to my job and my unrelenting need to stay prepared.

I’ve tried battery packs from brands like Anker, Belkin, Baseus, Casely, Burga, Hyper, and more, and it’s not often that I feel compelled enough to review one in-depth. But every once in a while, I get the opportunity to test a MagSafe pack that knocks my socks off, and it’s just too good not to share in more detail. Enter the Torras MiniMag Power Bank 
To put this into perspective, the Torras MiniMag is only 0.3-inches thick and weights 4 ounces. An iPhone 15 is only 0.35-inches thick. The MiniMag is literally slimmer than the phone itself, which is an anomaly in the MagSafe battery market. For example, my current best overall pack, the Belkin Boostcharge Pro Qi2, is 0.7-inches thick and weighs 5.3 ounces, and it isn’t even one of the largest MagSafe battery packs I’ve tested.
Onto the most important part. The MiniMag took my iPhone 14 Pro from 42% to 74% in an hour. I charged using MagSafe, which gave me a max output of 7.5W. I did not notice any intense overheating on the pack, though it did warm up (this is expected). If you charge with a USB-C, you can get up to 18W, which took about 2.5 hours in my testing.
My only negative about this pack, if I have to get picky, is that I wish it came in more colors, which is something I’ve started to see the big brands like Anker and Belkin open up to. It is also very smooth on the outside surface, which doesn’t always create the most secure grip for my hands on my phone.
Despite some possible areas for improvement, my advice for this pack is straightforward: it’s a good buy. Even at its retail price of $55, this Torras MiniMag Power Bank
