Hi mberger100,


How to use your MagSafe Battery Pack provides some insight into what the status light colors mean for your battery pack, along with how to check the charging status and battery level.


"While your MagSafe Battery Pack is charging, the status light might flash. If it flashes green, your battery pack is fully charged. If it flashes amber, your battery pack might need more time to charge."


"Check the charge

Make sure that your MagSafe-compatible iPhone is running iOS 14.7 or later. When you attach your MagSafe Battery Pack to your iPhone, it will automatically begin to charge your iPhone and a charging status will appear on the Lock screen.

To see your charging status in Today View or on the Home Screen, add the Batteries widget: 

  1. Go to Today View or the Home Screen page where you want to add the widget, then touch and hold the background until the apps begin to jiggle.
  2. Tap the Add Widget button at the top of the screen to open the widget gallery.
  3. Scroll or search to find Batteries, tap it, then swipe left through the size options. The different sizes display different information.
  4. When you see the size you want, tap Add Widget, then tap Done.

When you're using your MagSafe Battery Pack to charge your iPhone, you might get a notification that says your iPhone will charge only up to 90%. To charge past 90%, open Control Center, press and hold the Low Power Mode icon, then tap Continue. "


If your iPhone is on iOS 14.7 or later and you're using a 20W or higher USB power adapter, please reach out to Apple Support: Get Support


Cheers!
