The Sharge AeroMag 5K is the smaller sibling of the AeroMag 10K, offering a thinner, lighter, and more portable design for users who want quick top-ups on the go without extra bulk. While compact in form, it still brings Sharge’s signature attention to quality, safety, and performance. After reviewing multiple Sharge products over time, we’ve come to expect a balance of practicality and modern design—and the AeroMag 5K continues that trend.
Design & Build Quality
The AeroMag 5K mirrors the 10K model in both style and build, featuring an anodized aluminum casing available in Starry Black and Sky Blue. It’s impressively slim at just 8.5 mm thick and weighs only 125 g, making it one of the thinnest MagSafe-compatible power banks available. The compact size allows it to attach comfortably to the back of a smartphone without feeling top-heavy or awkward to hold.
The finish feels premium, and the overall construction is solid, with rounded edges and a minimalist aesthetic. The magnets provide a firm hold on MagSafe-compatible phones, keeping the power bank securely in place during use. The front surface includes a discrete LED power indicator, while the side houses a USB-C port that supports both input and output functions.
Features & Specifications
The Sharge AeroMag 5K delivers 5,000mAh of battery capacity and supports Qi2-certified 15W magnetic wireless charging. For wired charging, the USB-C port outputs up to 20W, supporting Power Delivery (PD) fast-charging standards. Users can also charge two devices simultaneously—one wirelessly and another through the USB-C port—with both limited to 5W each when used together.
The power bank incorporates graphene-based cooling technology, which helps to dissipate heat efficiently during fast charging. Sharge also includes multiple safety protections such as overcurrent, short circuit, and overvoltage safeguards, ensuring reliable operation.
Recharging the AeroMag 5K is simple—just plug it into a USB-C charger. It can be fully recharged in around two hours with a 20W PD adapter.
Performance
In everyday use, the AeroMag 5K performs as expected for its size and capacity. It’s best suited for quick boosts rather than full charges, typically taking a smartphone from about 20% to 80%. During testing, it maintained steady output with minimal heat buildup, thanks to the graphene cooling system.
Wireless charging is smooth and reliable, with the magnetic connection keeping the phone securely aligned. The charging speed is noticeably slower than wired mode but convenient for casual use or travel. When used with a cable, the AeroMag 5K delivers more efficient power transfer and faster top-ups, particularly useful for larger devices.
The 5K’s smaller capacity makes it ideal for users who prioritize slimness and portability over all-day power. For those needing more runtime, the AeroMag 10K offers roughly double the charge at the cost of added thickness.
Verdict
The Sharge AeroMag 5K is an excellent choice for users who value portability, premium design, and reliable wireless charging in a slim form factor. It’s perfect for quick top-ups throughout the day or when traveling light, without adding noticeable bulk to your phone. While it can’t deliver a full charge for most flagship smartphones, it performs efficiently within its compact design limits.
Overall, the AeroMag 5K delivers strong value for its price, offering sleek aesthetics, dependable performance, and advanced safety features—all in one of the thinnest MagSafe-compatible power banks on the market.
