Thanks to active cooling with an integrated fan, Sharge’s Icemag 3 excels at maintaining temperatures compared to other Qi 2.2 power banks. Sharge is known for creating distinctive charging accessories, and I frequently utilize the Icemag and Shargeek 170 power banks. With the Icemag 3, the company is enhancing the design and providing Qi 2.2 charging at 25W. Currently, I possess around six Qi 2.2 power banks, which include the UGREEN MagFlow, Baseus’s impressive PicoGo power banks, and a variety of emerging brands entering this market.
Staying true to Sharge’s design-oriented approach, the Icemag 3 significantly distinguishes itself. It is considerably thicker than Baseus’s 10,000mAh power banks, but the advantage is that it includes many practical features. Similar to its predecessor, the Icemag 3 features a transparent panel where the cooling fan is located.
While the fan on the Icemag 2 wasn’t particularly effective, this version performs much better. It prevents the power bank from overheating, and I encountered no thermal issues when using the Icemag 3 with my Pixel 10 Pro XL and iPhone 17 Pro. The fan significantly enhances usability, giving the Icemag 3 an advantage over competing Qi 2.2 power banks. Priced at $67 on Amazon, it remains competitively priced against its counterparts.
Another aspect I appreciate is the integrated foldable kickstand; it allows you to utilize your phone while it is charging, and the metal stand offers impressive adjustability. On the opposite side, the magnets hold securely to the device, and as long as you have a magnetic case, usage with the Icemag 3 will be hassle-free.
Additionally, there’s RGB lighting surrounding the fan. I find it appealing as I tend to enjoy RGB lighting, but if you’d prefer your power bank not to attract too much attention, you can turn off the lighting by pressing and holding the power button.
The 10,000mAh battery in the Icemag 3 is more than sufficient for charging the Pixel 10 Pro XL or iPhone 17 Pro without any complications, and its charging efficiency is comparable to other Qi 2.2 power banks I have tested recently. Keep in mind that just having a 10,000mAh battery doesn’t mean all of it is usable — in practical use, you receive approximately 5,500mAh to 5,700mAh of usable charge before needing to recharge, which is standard for all power banks; it’s simply the nature of charging.
Technically, you can charge three devices simultaneously with the Icemag 3: it includes a Qi 2.2 pad, a USB-C port on the side, and comes with a USB-C cable attached to the power bank. I used the cable for charging accessories, and it performed adequately. With a total power capacity of 35W, charging multiple phones at once is not feasible, but you can easily charge your earbuds alongside your phone.
The Icemag 3 is available in both white and black variants, and I personally think the white model is more appealing. This is if you prefer a power bank that garners attention; otherwise, the black version is much more understated. Overall, I have enjoyed using the Icemag 3, and it is set to become my primary Qi 2.2 charger during my travels.
