One great thing about newer iPhones is that you can magnetically attach a MagSafe battery to the back for extra juice — no more carrying around a clunky charger with wires that need plugging in. If you want one of these wireless wonders with the Apple logo on it, prepare to spend a crazy $99. But you don’t need to buy the Apple version — not when there are plenty of great third-party solutions available from Amazon. We’re especially fond of this battery from iWALK. It's available in three colors (black, white and pink) so you can easily find it in your bag — and it's on sale right now for $31.50, when you click the on-page coupon.

Amazon will ship this to you for free. Of course, if you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get speedy delivery and so much more, including access to to-notch streaming content and discounts at Whole Foods. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here.

The reviews on Amazon are glowing, with one shopper saying "This thing works great! The magnetic hold is strong and by cleaning the rubber pads with water and a wet cloth every once in a while, it sticks onto your case or phone and prevents it from twisting/rotating. The LCD screen showing the amount of charge left is also super handy, as well as the kickstand. I use it almost every day, and for the last few months it's been a lifesaver. Highly recommended!"

This shopper says it compares well to Apple's model: "I have the official Apple MagSafe battery pack but that one only has a 2000 mAh capacity, so I wanted a more powerful pack. This 6000 mAh pack works well with my iPhone 13 Pro Max, even with a MagSafe case on. There is a button you need to press after you attach it to the iPhone in order to start charging. The LED showing percent of power left in the pack is useful — and necessary since, unlike the real Apple pack, this does not communicate its remaining power level to the iPhone.... I’m happy with this product, as it works and is inexpensive enough."

Overall, this fan says, "It has been a lifesaver and I look forward to buying the next generation of these when they start making batteries with a larger capacity."
