The battery appears to have a plastic or painted metal frame with a kickstand, the latter similar to some similar Qi2 batteries <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2025\/10\/19\/pixel-10-qi2-battery-banks-favorite-accessory\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">we\u2019ve tested with the Pixel 10 series<\/a>. There\u2019s also a USB-C port to the right side of the bank, and a color-matched USB-C cable that is presumably included in the box. It\u2019s also noted that the power bank has 15W output and 5,000 mAh capacity.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest difference in this bank compared to most is the design, or what it\u2019s designed around.<\/p>\n<p>\tAdvertisement &#8211; scroll for more content<\/p>\n<p>As can be more clearly seen in these images, the top portion of the power bank is cut out to leave room for the camera bump on Galaxy phones, which <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2025\/12\/30\/samsung-galaxy-s26-ultra-camera-bump-hardware-leak\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">looks even bigger on the upcoming Galaxy S26 series<\/a>. This has been a problem on Galaxy phones with existing magnetic battery banks (while using magnet add-ons) because the Qi charging coil is so close to the camera that the battery banks tend be pushed out of alignment or even cover part of the camera.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\"
