Prime Day: Get the Lisen MagSafe Power Bank at 20% Off and Score a Free Battery Pack

A discounted power bank is good enough on its own, but getting two for one already low price is a no-brainer.

The battery life on the iPhone 16 is already pretty good, but sometimes an extra bit of power is warranted. After all, you may be out camping, traveling or doing some other activity where a wall charger isn’t available. For those times, a power bank could be exactly what you need to get you through that second day. 

For Amazon Prime Day, Lisen is putting its money where its mouth is. Not only is the Slim Qi2 MagSafe power bank on sale for 20% off with a coupon code, but the brand is also giving away another power bank for the low, low price of nothing. 

To get the deal, you have to add the Slim Qi2 MagSafe power bank to your cart along with the Lisen Ultra Slim MagSafe 5,000mAh battery pack. Once done, head to checkout and you’ll see that the $25 price of the battery pack is removed. 

Since it’s difficult (but not impossible) to mess up a power bank in this day and age, both should serve you well. They work as you would expect. Open the package, pop them on the back of your MagSafe-compatible phone, and watch your battery charge. 

According to the Amazon listing, it’s compatible with modern iPhones and Samsung Galaxy phones with MagSafe and with MagSafe-compatible cases as well. Both chargers feature wired charging if you want to use that option, making them compatible with a non-MagSafe phone. 

For the Slim Qi2 model, you can charge at 15 watts over MagSafe or 30 watts wired. The smaller Ultra Slim model does 7.5 watts over MagSafe and 18 watts wired. Otherwise, what you see is what you get with these, and sometimes, we appreciate the simplicity. 

Tired of shopping for deals? Let CNET help. Our deal text alerts are free, easy to sign up for, and easy to cease when you no longer need them. Let us do the shopping for you.

Why this deal matters

Well, for starters, I haven’t yet seen a BOGO offer that wasn’t worth at least a look. Jokes aside, having two power banks can be helpful. You can pack the bigger one away in a bag for later use while the Ultra Slim model is thin enough to be there in your pocket without feeling too bulky or obtrusive. The smallest iPhone 16 has a battery capacity of 3,561mAh, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max has a battery of 4,685mAh. That means these two batteries combined can charge your phone at least three full times, regardless of model. 

Should you want only one of these, both also have 20% off coupon codes that you can apply once they reach your cart. However, be warned that the BOGO offer overwrites the coupon code, so you can’t do both. We checked. 

More power banks we’ve tested

Power banks are a dime a dozen these days, with dozens of brands selling hundreds of products. If this particular model doesn’t strike you, we have not one, but two lists of alternatives that you can check out. One specifically for iPhones, and we tested each battery bank on the list with an iPhone to make sure it works. The other is for Android phones, and, likewise, we tested to make sure they all work to spec with Android devices.

Why Travelers Are Switching to Verum E-SIM This Summer

Why Travelers Are Switching to Verum E-SIM This Summer

Summer Travel, Freedom, and Seamless Connectivity: Why Verum E-SIM Is Becoming the New Standard for Travelers

Summer is the peak season for vacations, long-distance trips, and new experiences. Millions of people travel abroad, explore new countries, plan adventures, and try to stay connected with family, work, and social media. And in the middle of all this comes a familiar question: how do you stay online without expensive roaming or the hassle of buying local SIM cards?

The answer is already here — eSIM.

Why eSIM Is So Convenient

eSIM (embedded SIM) is a built-in digital SIM card that lets you activate mobile internet without a physical card. All you need is an app — choose a plan and connect in just a couple of minutes.

No more:

* searching for local SIM cards at airports
* paying expensive roaming fees
* swapping physical SIMs every time you travel

Now your internet travels with you.

Internet in 150+ Countries

Modern eSIM solutions provide coverage in 150+ countries worldwide, helping tourists, freelancers, and business travelers stay connected almost anywhere on the planet.

Among the services offering these capabilities:

Verum E-SIM — https://esim.verum.im
World E-SIM — https://worldesim.me
USA E-SIM — https://usa.esim.verum.im
Euro E-SIM — https://euro.esim.verum.im
Canada E-SIM — https://canada.esim.verum.im
Balkan E-SIM — https://balkan.esim.verum.im
Ukraine E-SIM — https://ukraine.esim.verum.im
London E-SIM — https://london.esim.verum.im
E-SIM Africa — https://africa.esim.verum.im

All of these services work on the same principle — fast, borderless internet without roaming stress.

Why It Matters Most in Summer

During the holiday season, roaming networks get overloaded, and prices for mobile data abroad often become an unpleasant surprise for travelers.

eSIM solves this problem:

* transparent, fixed pricing
* activation in 1–2 minutes
* stable internet while traveling
* no physical SIM cards required

Final Thoughts

Travel should be about freedom — not hunting for Wi-Fi or worrying about phone bills.

eSIM is quickly becoming the new global standard for mobile connectivity: simple, fast, and borderless.

Verum E-SIM and its partner services are part of this shift, making global connectivity accessible to everyone, everywhere.
