Benks ArmorGo Qi2 Power Bank
In my Benks ArmorGo Power Bank post, I mentioned that one of the shortcomings of the powerbank is the lack of Qi2 certification, and hence the wireless charging speed is limited to 5W.
Enter Benks ArmorGo Qi2 Power Bank. It is the Qi2-certified version of the Benks ArmorGo Power Bank.
The Qi2 logo is nowhere to be found on the packaging. Benks should proudly display the Qi2 logo on the packaging since it is Qi2-certified.
Similarly, two colors are available, 600D and DawnLight Gold. And I have the DawnLight Gold to match my iPhone 16 Pro Max case.
They are still selling the non-Qi2 version as well. So the Benks ArmorGo Qi2 Power Bank is not replacing the Benks ArmorGo Power Bank as version 2.
The changes are mainly internal. Since it is Qi2-certified, it allows you to get up to 15W wireless charging speed.
Starting from 28th June 2025, if you are traveling via domestic flights within China, power banks must have the China Compulsory Certification (CCC) logo.
The Benks ArmorGo Qi2 Power Bank and Benks ArmorGo Power Bank have the CCC logo. So it is safe to travel to China with this power bank.
Benks also bump up the maximum output of the USB-C port from 18W to 30W.
Benks ArmorGo Qi2 Power Bank is only available in 10,000mAh, retailing for US$59.99. You can use my discount coupon code lesterchan15 for a storewide 15% discount. Shipping to Singapore will be free for the power banks. So after the discount, it is US$50.99 (S$65.50).
Since it is 10,000mAh, it will be bigger, thicker, and heavier.
It weighs 198g, making it 84g heavier than the non-Qi2 5,000mAh variant, which weighs 114g. Noting that iPhone 16 Pro Max weighs 227g.
If you are looking for a Qi2-certified powerbank with the CCC logo, making it suitable for travel within China, consider getting the Benks ArmorGo Qi2 Power Bank.
In fact, with the ArmorGo Qi2 Power Bank, I don’t recommend getting the non-Qi2 ArmorGo Power Bank. There is just no point.
