Luxtude battery: 5,000 mAh in just 8 mm thickness
Only 8mm thickfor this portable battery model. It includes a Lightning cable for charging the iPhone or iPad and an internal battery charge status indicator. This is also5 000 mAh, which is enough to recharge1.2 times a recent iPhone.
Its size is similar to that of an iPhone with a 4.7-inch screen diagonal. This means that the battery can fit perfectly into the back of the smartphone in a pocket while charging.Three colors are available, black, white or pink and the MFi certification is there.
Xnuoyo battery: 10,000 mAh, suction cups and 2 integrated cables
This portable battery is a bit special. On the one hand, it integratessuction cups to stick to the iPhone while charging. Furthermore, it is supplied with2 removable cables, one Lightning, the other USB-C, both hidden in a dedicated slot in the battery.
Otherwise, the capacity of 10,000 mAh is substantial. All it lacks is MFi certification. But it is therefore offered at a very affordable price.
PowerMi battery: from 2,500 to 8,000 mAh and mini format
The PowerMi battery integratestwo cables, a Lightning cable and a USB cable. It presents athin 1 cm thicknessfor 13.5 cm long and 7 wide. Suffice to say that it will be discreet at the bottom of a handbag, for example. Several capacities are offered, ranging from 2,500 mAh to 8,000 mAh.
A charge indicator lets you know approximately the remaining capacity of the battery. It is not MFi certified however.
Large capacities and fast charging at iWalk
The iWalk brand offers several models of portable mobile batteries, with charging cables included in the case.
There is for example the following model, very recent, of10 000 mAhand offering ahigh powerin addition tofast charging(support QC 3.0 output and input ports). With a suitable charger, the batterycan be fully recharged in 3.5 hours.
Another interesting model from iWalk, the one presented below, with a capacity of10 000 mAh. This battery is compatible with QC fast charging like the previous one, but also hasa screen displaying the remaining capacityandtwo integrated charging cables: Lightning and USB-c. Another notable advantage is its slim format:14 mm thickness announced.
- The slim 10,000 mAh portable battery with Lightning and USB-c is available there for around 32 euros
Finally, to enjoy even more connection possibilities, you have to turn to this third iWalk model. The latter, in addition to its12 000 mAhof capacity, offers4 cables integrated into its case: Lightning, USB-c and micro-USB, but also classic USB socket. Fast chargingQuickCharge 3 is still there. This model gains 2 cables on the previous one, but loses the level display. Despite everything, it is a veryversatileand displaying acareful design.

mention MFi non plus)
Batteries temporarily (or permanently) unavailable
Dodocool battery: all in finesse and integrated cable
This nomadic battery model differs from the previous two by its format,
more reminiscent of a smartphone and can therefore easily be
hold on the back of the iPhone that you would have in your hand.
Positive points for this Dodocool solution, it is MFi certified by
Apple and delivered with aLighting cable and USB cable, more
above all has alocation to insert one of the two cables on
the side. Its capacity is classic, 5,000 mAh, sufficient for
recharge an iPhone X 1.8 times for example.
The MFi bank card format battery
Dococool offers another portable battery model, thinner than the
previous, but also more compact. The capacity is reduced
necessarily, with2 500 mAh. Despite everything, this model, with
dimensions close to a bank card can be aally of choice
for users who often travel.
It is MFi certified and equipped with an integrated USB cable and adapter
USB-Lightning also integrated into the shell. Be careful not to lose this
last one though. Abeautiful all-in-one solution in all
cas, to keep in the wallet.
iPhone and Apple Watch battery
To complete this selection, an all-purpose external battery that
could please Apple Watch owners. Indeed, in addition to the pebble
charging for the Apple watch, the Ugreen battery with a capacity of 4,400 mAh
includes a mini cable to connect the iPhone:
A carrying pouch with integrated iPhone battery and cable
Charging an iPhone in nomadic mode is done for many users at the bottom of their bag, on their backpack or in their hand. But this can haverisksfor the phone, which finds itself stuck between a bunch of keys and coins. Emtec offers a mobile battery that includes a slot for the iPhone. The latter finds himselfprotégéand evenattachéusing an elastic band inside a pouch attached to the battery.
Very practical therefore, this nomadic charger model also offers aIntegrated Lightning cable with angled connector. The price is finally ratheraccessible.
Emtec, the mini and practical plug-in battery!
Emtec has been offering a small Lightning battery for several years now, the
Power Clip. Wewe have it
tested and much appreciatedfor its format, its MFi certification, but
also now itstariff, which offer him an excellent
value for money in the end.
Equipped with2 600 mAhfor a weight of only 20 g, with its
integrated Lightning jack, it will be theideal companion for any iPhone
lacking energy. We definitely recommend! Only one problem, the
lower part of the device must be clear to be able to connect the battery
directly, without removing the shell.
5 000 mAh et format hyper compact
Like the Emtec seen above, this portable battery inserts directly
into the iPhone's Lightning port, without a cable. Its capacity is5
000 mAh, its weight of 95 g. A “pass through” function allows, in
connecting the battery to the mains, to recharge both the battery and
l’iPhone.
Several colors are available, but be careful, some correspond to a
lower capacity model. Here too, depending on the type of hull used, can
do not plug it in without having to remove it. Also note the absence of
MFi mention which can slow down the purchase.
So much for this selection of portable batteries in compact format, and with
especially the advantage of integrating a Lightning connection. No need to think about
therefore take an additional cable with you, which is always
appreciable.
