Reply to comment by NefariousnessNo5717 in Which MagSafe power bank brand are you choosing for your iPhone 14? by AptCovering
The charging rate is kinda rough which is important to mention especially if you’re outside or in a warm climate as it heats up in your pocket it’s gonna slow down your battery drain.

But it charges at 15w, no? While others NOT Apple-branded are locked at 7.5w.

Apple MagSafe battery bank only charges at 7.5w

It charges at 15 after a firmware update

7.5w after firmware update, it was originally 5w.

You’re correct, although you can get 15W when connected to a power adapter.
> If connected to a 20W or higher power source, your MagSafe Battery Pack can charge your iPhone with up to 15W of power. In order to get 7.5W charging on the go, update your MagSafe Battery Pack to the latest firmware. The firmware update begins automatically after you attach your battery pack to your iPhone. The firmware update can take about one week.

Only while plugged in via pass through charging. While just a battery and not plugged in, it’s 7.5w and I haven’t seen higher anywhere (again, while running on battery).

15W is only available when connected to a compatible power source. Otherwise it’s 7.5W when charging on the go.
