Why This MagSafe Battery Pack Is Our Readers' Favorite Model Right Now - Especially at Its Price
The Torras MiniMag Power Bank has emerged as ZDNET’s top‑rated MagSafe battery, offering 5,000 mAh in a remarkably thin 0.3‑inch, 4‑ounce package. Priced around $55 (often discounted to $36), it delivers 7.5 W charging via MagSafe and up to 18 W through USB‑C, while its 13 N magnetic hold (≈2.2 lb) keeps it securely attached.

Its performance, design, and price have propelled it into ZDNET’s #9 best‑selling product list for 2025.
