What the Ridge Power Bank is
The Ridge Power Bank is a 10,000mAh portable battery from Ridge, the brand best known for its minimalist wallets. It comes in a range of colors, and Ridge also lists a New Orleans Saints edition.
Ridge calls it a 5-in-1 charger. It combines a magnetic wireless pad for MagSafe-compatible phones, a magnetic spot sized for an Apple Watch, a built-in USB-C cable, a built-in Lightning cable, and a USB-C port.
The idea is one pack instead of a tangle of cords. Ridge says the battery holds enough for up to three full smartphone recharges, though the real number depends on the size of your phone's battery.
The 5-in-1 setup, piece by piece
The front is a magnetic wireless pad. Ridge says it charges MagSafe-compatible devices at up to 15W, and the spec sheet lists 15W, 10W, 7.5W and 5W wireless modes, so the speed your phone gets may vary by model.
The two built-in cables cover USB-C and Lightning, and Ridge says they can charge several devices at once. The USB-C side supports up to 20W Power Delivery, which Ridge positions as the faster way to charge. A separate USB-C port recharges the pack itself.
You also get a magnetic charging area designed for the Apple Watch, an LED indicator for battery and charging status, and a built-in kickstand that props your phone up for video calls or shows while it charges.
Ridge says the pack supports pass-through charging, so it can charge your device while it refills itself. One caveat from Ridge's own guide: the magnet only works with MagSafe-compatible cases, and thick cases may get in the way.

Check priceBattery, speed and size
10,000mAh is a common size for an everyday pocket power bank. Ridge's spec sheet lists it at 3.85V and 38.5Wh, while its airline FAQ cites about 37Wh. Either figure is well under the 100Wh carry-on limit most airlines use.
On paper, the speeds are fine but not class-leading. A 20W wired maximum and 15W wireless top speed are reasonable for an iPhone, but some newer power banks offer more wired output. Ridge doesn't spell out how power is shared when several devices charge at the same time.
To refill the pack, Ridge recommends a USB-C wall adapter rated 18W or higher. Only the power bank is listed in the box, so plan on using a charger you already own.
It measures about 4.1 by 2.7 by 0.64 inches and weighs 7.37 ounces. That is roughly the weight of many phones, so snapping it on the back noticeably adds to what you're holding.
Price and value
Ridge's US store lists standard colors at $79, with two- and three-pack bundles that lower the price per unit. I couldn't confirm the price of the New Orleans Saints edition, so check the product page before you buy.
At that price, you pay more than you would for a basic magnetic power bank with similar capacity. The extra money gets you the built-in cables, the Apple Watch pad and the kickstand, not a bigger battery or faster charging.
Ridge lists free shipping and returns on its site, which lowers the risk of trying it. I'd still think honestly about how often you would use all five charging options before paying more for them.
Who it suits and who should skip it
This makes the most sense for iPhone users who also wear an Apple Watch, especially if someone in the house still has an older Lightning device. It's also a tidy pick for travel bags and everyday carry, where leaving cables behind is the whole point.
If you have an Android phone, the built-in USB-C cable still works, but you would need a magnetic case to use the pad. And if speed or maximum battery per dollar is your priority, a plainer power bank will serve you better.
One safety note from Ridge's guide: the pack contains magnets, and Ridge advises keeping it at least 6 inches from implanted medical devices such as pacemakers. If that applies to you, ask your doctor before carrying it close to your body.
Alternatives worth a look
If you want a battery readout on the pack itself, Anker's MagGo Power Bank (10K) adds a small display and also has a fold-out stand.
If you mostly charge with a cable, Anker's Nano Power Bank with a built-in USB-C cable is a simpler, cable-first option.
If you'd rather go with a big accessory brand you already know, Belkin's BoostCharge Pro magnetic power banks are a widely sold, no-frills choice.

Questions about Ridge Power Bank - 10k mAh - New York Giants
Can I bring the Ridge Power Bank on a plane?
Ridge says its capacity, about 37Wh in its FAQ, is well under the 100Wh limit most airlines allow for carry-on bags. Rules vary by airline, so check yours before you fly.
How many times can the Ridge Power Bank charge my phone?
Ridge says it provides up to three full smartphone recharges. The real number depends on your phone's battery size, so phones with larger batteries will get fewer full charges.
Does the Ridge Power Bank work with Android phones?
The built-in USB-C cable can charge USB-C phones, including Android models. The magnetic pad is built for MagSafe-compatible devices, so an Android phone would need a compatible magnetic case to attach.
Can it charge my iPhone and Apple Watch at the same time?
Ridge says it can charge multiple devices at once and has a magnetic charging area designed for the Apple Watch. Ridge doesn't say how power is split between devices, so charging speeds may vary when several are connected.
Does the Ridge Power Bank support pass-through charging?
Yes. Ridge says you can charge your device while the power bank itself is plugged in and recharging.
How long does the Ridge Power Bank last?
Ridge says its power banks typically last 2 to 3 years, or 300 to 1,000 charge cycles, depending on use. Ridge's care tips include avoiding overcharging or fully draining the battery.
Decided it fits? I'd recommend the Ridge Power Bank to anyone who juggles an iPhone, an Apple Watch and the odd Lightning device and wants one pack that handles all of them. If you mostly care about speed or value per dollar, a simpler power bank will do the job for less.
