The new Rapoo P101 aims to deliver a premium-style magnetic charging experience without carrying a premium price tag. Priced at Rs 1,299 during the ongoing sale, this 10,000mAh power bank offers Qi2 wireless charging, strong magnetic alignment, and 22W wired fast charging in a compact form factor. I spent some time using it with both the iPhone 17 and the Motorola Signature, and here’s what I found.

Compact design with strong magnetic hold

One of the first things I noticed about the P101 was its magnetic grip. Once attached to the phone, it stays in place properly without shifting around too much. That matters because weak magnetic alignment can easily interrupt wireless charging during daily use.

The power bank itself is fairly compact considering it packs a 10,000mAh battery. At around 189g, it does add noticeable weight to the phone, but it still feels manageable for travel or daily commuting. The rounded edges also make it easier to hold while attached to the device.

Rapoo says it supports MagSafe and Pixelsnap compatibility, which should help it work well with a wide range of compatible devices.

Wireless charging performance

The P101 supports up to 15W Qi2 wireless charging. During my testing with the iPhone 17, the charging speed felt fairly consistent.

I started charging the phone at 20 percent battery, and after 15 minutes, it reached 36 percent. That works out to roughly 1 percent per minute during the test. Considering the iPhone 17 reportedly features a 3,692mAh battery, the wireless charging performance felt decent for a compact magnetic power bank.

The charging experience was also stable. I did not notice random disconnects or interruptions while using it magnetically attached to the phone. However, as can be seen above, the iPhone 17 displayed “slow charger”, which is fairly common with wireless charging accessories and does not necessarily reflect inconsistent performance in day-to-day use.

Wired charging is noticeably faster

Where the P101 becomes more impressive is wired charging. The USB-C port supports up to 22W output with PD and PPS support.

Using wired charging on the iPhone 17, the battery went from 36 percent to 70 percent in 20 minutes, which felt significantly quicker than the wireless mode.

I also tested it with the Motorola Signature, which packs a 5,200mAh battery. Wireless charging performance there was slower, moving from 6 percent to 11 percent in around 20 minutes. However, once again, wired charging delivered much better results, taking the phone from 51 percent to 75 percent in the same 20-minute period.

So while the wireless charging is convenient for casual top-ups, the wired mode is clearly the better option when you need faster charging in a short amount of time.

Useful features for daily use

The P101 also includes useful additions like multiple charging protocol support including PD3.0, PPS, QC3.0, and Apple charging standards.

The P101 has LED indicators that make it easy to understand its charging status at a glance. During use, I noticed that the indicator glows green while charging devices through the wired connection, while a blue light appears during wireless charging

Rapoo has included several safety protections, too, including temperature control and short-circuit protection, which is reassuring for long-term use. The power bank can be charged via an 18W charger, and it takes nearly 3 hours to achieve a full charge.

Final thoughts

For Rs 1,299, the Rapoo P101 feels like a solid value-focused magnetic power bank. The Qi2 support, reliable magnetic hold, and especially the fast wired charging performance make it practical for everyday use.

Wireless charging speeds are decent rather than exceptional, particularly on larger battery phones, but the convenience factor is strong. If you want a compact magnetic power bank that also doubles as a fast wired charger when needed, the P101 does a good job balancing both.
