They slide nicely into your pocket, come in two finishes, offer built-in cables, and pack <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4qyeAiZ\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">5000mAh<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4wIeln2\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">10000mAh<\/a> of capacity. They\u2019re by no means the smallest battery banks on the market, though they hit a price point that makes them worthwhile.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mophie\u2019s new <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4qyeAiZ\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">PowerStation Plus<\/a> battery banks come in Standard and Signature variants, each with <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4cRB5K7\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">5000mAh<\/a> and 10000mAh capacity options.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4wIeln2\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">standard<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4qyeAiZ\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">signature<\/a> versions come in the same footprints, though the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4qyeAiZ\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">signature<\/a> version comes with a nicer finish and comes with braided cables.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All four versions include integrated USB-C cables for charging your device in a pinch, though they aren\u2019t retractable. The cable is integrated on the side of the bank, and you can slide it out of place when you need to charge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lower three variants of the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4qyeAiZ\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">PowerStation Plus<\/a> come with one built-in cable, whereas the Signature 10K version has two braided cables. With the additional USB-C port, this allows you to charge up to three devices at once.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As mentioned at the beginning, these definitely aren\u2019t the smallest battery banks on the market, though aren\u2019t chunky like many others are. This makes them great for sliding into a pocket without being super noticeable, rather than needing to keep it in a backpack. It also offers LED charge status lights.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\"  alt=\"\" data-height=\"2000\" data-id=\"1065686\" data-link=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/?attachment_id=1065686\" data-url=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/08\/DSC02033.jpg?quality=82&amp;strip=all&amp;w=800\" data-width=\"3000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/DSC02033.jpg\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4qyeAiZ\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mophie PowerStation Plus<\/a> supports 20W of power output through the USB-C port. That same port is also used for recharging the battery bank. The 5K versions can do about one iPhone 17 Pro recharge at a time, whereas 10K will allow you to fully recharge an iPhone 17 Pro twice. Mophie also engineered these to be airline carry-on friendly, in light of recent <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2025\/12\/10\/psa-amazon-exclusive-power-banks-have-been-recalled-after-fires\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">battery bank fires<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can purchase the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4qyeAiZ\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mophie PowerStation Plus<\/a> on Amazon, with the lineup starting at $29.95, ranging up to $59.95.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My favorite Apple accessory recommendations:<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Follow Michael:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/mbrkhrdt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">X\/Twitter<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/michaelb.nyc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Bluesky<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/michaelb.nyc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/9to5mac.com\" aria-label=\"Add 9to5Mac as a preferred source on Google\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-dark\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/google-preferred-source-badge-dark.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Mac as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-light\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/google-preferred-source-badge-light.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Mac as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"disclaimer-affiliate\">FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links. <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/about\/#affiliate\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">More.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Recently, Mophie debuted four new power banks for the iPhone.
