Verbatim Charge ‘n’ Go Two Cable Power Bank with Display Review
Verbatim is not a brand you hear much about nowadays, but it used to be one of the main players in the world of optical media. They have changed hands a couple of times, with Mitsubishi taking ownership in 1990, before being sold to CMC Magnetics, another specialist in optical media.
With the decline of optical media, the company has branched out into more storage formats, peripherals, power and charging products, and a gaming subdivision.
The range of power banks is limited to just 9 models, with the largest being the 27000mAh Charge ‘n’ Go Power Bank.
The Charge ‘n’ Go model I have been reviewing is the most appealing small charger. It features QI magnetic charging capable of 15W, a USB-C port with 12W max, and two built-in USB-C cables capable of 22.5W. The total output is limited to 22.5W.

Design
Power banks are generally unremarkable in design, but this one is slightly different.
It has several notable features, including:
- The magnetic QI charging pad, which are relative common now
- Dual USB-C cables – Many brands have started to integrate a single cable, but this is the first time I have seen two. A built-in cable on these smaller chargers is really useful as it allows you to carry a charger in your pocket without carrying around a separate cable (and most USB cables are longer than needed for this scenario).
- A display showing the input and output voltage, which again is something that has become increasingly common.
- You then have a built-in stand, so you could charge your phone wirelessly while watching media or wirelessly charge while also using the cable with everything sitting flush.
The overall design and features make this an ideal solution for days out and personal use.
Magnetic Wireless Charging
While this is advertised as QI magnetic wireless charging, according to the specs, it is technically Qi2 as it integrates MagSafe and offers 15W wireless charging.
Some brands, like Ugreen, offer up to 25W charging, which is technically Qi2.2.
Apple was the pioneer of magnetic wireless charging, and to date, the only Android phone to fully support Qi 2.2 is Google’s Pixel 10 Pro XL. The Samsung S26+/S26U support it, but only with a magnetic case.
So, while QI2.2 would be nice, I don’t think it is a deal breaker.
As for performance, I have been using it with my Honor Magic8 Pro and my Pixel 9 Pro XL (both with magnetic cases), and it has performed perfectly, keeping my phones topped up when I carry them in my pocket. The LED display actually reported a higher output than the power bank is supposed to be capable of.
Wired Charging
Wired charging is limited to 22.5W on either of the built-in cables, with the total output limited to 22.5W also. This is a touch lower than normal; both Anker and Ugreen typically offer 27W to 30W max output, and Anker has a small 12,000mAh power bank capable of 130W output.
In reality, I am unlikely to notice the difference in charge speed between 22.5W and 30W, and I think these 10K small power banks are best suited for keeping your phone topped up on days out, rather than full charges you may want from larger and more powerful power banks.
All the phones I tried with this were capable of getting the full 22.5W charge.

The Verbatim Charge ‘n’ Go MagSafe Power Bank appears to have an RRP of £41.99 and is available on Amazon for £38.47.
The Ugreen MagFlow 2-in-1 Magnetic QI2 Wireless Charger only has one built-in USB cable, but it offers 25W QI2 wireless charging and has an RRP of £80, with it available on Amazon for £54.99.
The Ugreen Nexode Ultra-Slim is QI2 but 15W, has a single built-in cable and no display. This is available for £64.99 RRP and on Amazon for £46.99.
The Anker MagGo Power Bank (10,000mAh), Qi2 15W wireless charging, is £89.99 RRP and discounted to £55.99.
There are plenty of non-name brands offering wireless chargers at a lower price point, but I have no hands-on experience with them, so I won’t recommend them over brands such as this, Ugreen or Anker.
Additionally, if you don’t need wireless charging, there are plenty of more affordable options.
Overall
The Verbatim Charge ‘n’ Go MagSafe Power Bank is a fantastic, small charger ideal for day outs.
Pricing is important here, and I think Verbatim have priced it just about right. The Ugreen MagFlow 2-in-1 power bank is a superior charger due to the faster QI2 charging and slightly better wired input/output at 30W, but it lacks the second cable. However, with it costing £17 more, I’d personally buy the Verbatim.
Overall, while this is not the highest specced 10K magnetic wireless charger, I think it is one of the best options I have used, thanks to the flexibility of charging options and value for money.

Charging speeds are modest compared to some rivals, but in real-world use, it performs reliably for keeping devices topped up throughout the day. At its current price, it offers strong value, especially for users who prioritise flexibility and portability over maximum output.
