MAGFAST, the magnetic wireless charging innovator backed by over 6,000 individual investors, will showcase its highly anticipated Gen2 product lineup at CES 2026, introducing two power banks that redefine portable charging through magnetic precision engineering and advanced battery technology.
The company will debut the 5K compact power bank and 27K executive power bank inside Iontra's private executive suite during CES week (January 6 to 9, 2026). Both products will also be featured on STMicroelectronics' prestigious Wall of Fame, recognizing their advanced semiconductor integration and engineering innovation.
"For too long, charging has been treated as a commodity — a race to the bottom on price with products that feel soulless," said Seymour Segnit, founder and CEO of MAGFAST. "We're proving that people will choose products that are delightful, durable, and beautifully engineered. Charging should feel like magic, not a chore."
The British engineer-turned-Silicon Valley founder has spent the better part of a decade obsessing over a question most of us never think to ask: Why does the most-touched category in modern electronics charging feel so soulless?
His answer? MAGFAST. A charging company that behaves less like a tech manufacturer and more like a luxury design house with a mischievous streak. And this January at CES, tucked inside a private suite rather than screaming from a massive booth, MAGFAST is about to show two products that might just make you rethink what a power bank can be.
Why magnets? Why now?
Seymour didn’t set out to build “better chargers.” He set out to fix an experience that’s been broken since the first smartphone hit our pockets. His philosophy? Charging shouldn’t feel like a chore; it should feel like magic. That’s where the magnets come in.
MAGFAST’s entire system is built around magnetic precision — the satisfying snap when your device locks into place, the way everything aligns perfectly without fumbling in the dark, the tactile pleasure of something that just works. It’s the kind of detail that makes you smile the first time, and the hundredth time.
Their flagship Air Pro wasn’t just another wireless charger. It was a statement piece: three full-power Qi2 magnetic zones, 140W of total power, wrapped in zinc-alloy that felt substantial in your hands. The kind of object you’d leave on your desk, not despite its looks, but because of them. But Air Pro was just the warmup.
5K: Tiny, Clever, Stackable
The first surprise MAGFAST is bringing to CES is codenamed 5K, a compact 5,000mAh power bank that looks adorable and hides some genuinely clever tricks.
Here’s what makes it different: Most pocket power banks can charge your phone magnetically, sure. But when they need juice? You’re back to cables, not 5K. It charges wirelessly and recharges wirelessly. Snap it onto any MAGFAST base, and it powers up. No ports, no cables, no nonsense.
But wait, there’s more fun to be had — stack them. Yes, you read that right. Multiple 5Ks magnetically snap together to create a modular power pack that grows with your needs. Heading out for a quick coffee? Grab one. Weekend camping trip? Stack three. It’s like LEGO, but for staying alive in the digital age.
The engineering team spent months perfecting the magnetic alignment so the stack feels stable, not precarious. The result is something that’s genuinely playful, a rarity in a category that usually takes itself far too seriously.
27K Is the One to Watch for
Now, if 5K is the charming sidekick, 27k is the sophisticated lead character. This is MAGFAST’s 27,000mAh executive power bank, the maximum capacity you can legally carry on a plane without getting into a philosophical debate with TSA. But here’s where it gets interesting: instead of the usual chunky brick that screams “I’m a tech person,” Slate slides into your bag like a slim portfolio. Elegant. Understated. The kind of thing you’d pull out in a first-class lounge without feeling like you’re unpacking a toolbox.
The Party Tricks
Two wireless charging zones. Charge two phones at once. Or a phone and a 5K. Or use it as your hotel-room charging station. Slate doesn’t care; it’s flexible.
The Iontra secret sauce. This is where things get technical (but stay with me, because it’s cool). Slate is the first commercial product in the world with Iontra’s technology. Translation? When you’re in a rush, it can recharge itself quickly. When you’re not, it automatically switches to a gentler mode that can extend the battery’s life by 2 to 4 times. It’s like having a power bank that knows when to sprint and when to take a leisurely stroll.
A display that doesn’t insult your intelligence. Slate shows you what’s happening: charge mode, capacity, status without looking like a spaceship dashboard. Just the information you need, presented beautifully.
Built for real work. High-power USB-C that can drive your laptop. Multiple ports for when you’re juggling devices. This isn’t just for keeping your phone alive during a commute; it’s for creative professionals, remote workers, and anyone who’s ever thought, “I wish I had a power outlet right now.”
Playing It Smart at CES
Here’s what I love about MAGFAST’s CES approach: They’re not renting a massive booth with dancers and fog machines. They’re showcasing inside Iontra’s executive suite, a private, invitation-focused space where the story matters more than the spectacle.
Their prototypes will appear on STMicroelectronics’ Wall of Fame, positioned alongside serious semiconductor technology. It’s the equivalent of being name-checked by the cool kids in engineering class.
This makes sense when you know MAGFAST’s origin story. This isn’t a company built by venture capital looking for a quick exit. It’s funded by more than 6,000 individual investors and tens of thousands of supporters who have believed in Seymour’s vision since 2017. People who are tired of disposable tech and hungry for products with soul.
The Bigger Picture Here
There are 7.5 billion smartphone users on this planet. Every single one of us has experienced that stomach-drop moment when the battery icon turns red at the worst possible time. Low battery anxiety is real, universal, and utterly preventable.
Yet the charging industry has spent decades treating power as a commodity — a race to the bottom on price, with products that feel like they were designed by accountants, not dreamers.
MAGFAST is betting on something different: that people will pay for products that are delightful, durable, and beautifully engineered. That charging can be something you actually enjoy rather than merely tolerate. It’s a rebellious idea in a category that’s forgotten how to have fun.
So what happens next?
When CES opens in January, and the crowds swarm toward the biggest, loudest, flashiest booths, a quieter story will be unfolding in a private suite. A British engineer with a magnetic obsession. Two products that challenge what power banks should feel like. And a community of believers betting that the future of charging doesn’t have to be boring.
Will it work? That’s the adventure. But if you find yourself at CES with a dying phone and a sense of irony, you know where to look.
