Three-way charge?

Can I have my MagSafe battery pack attached to a power source while attached to my iPhone, and simultaneously having my iPhone attached to another power source and charge both battery pack and iPhone at the same time? I understand the MagSafe battery pack can be reversed charged with the iPhone attached to a power source but my question is, can I do that without the reverse charge and instead I have both MagSafe and iPhone attached to a power source while simultaneously attached to each other?

for instants, my battery pack is fully charged, but my iPhone isn’t so I plug in my iPhone as well as my battery pack while my battery pack is attached to my phone will my iPhone charge quicker or will it charge the same as just one source of power via lightning cable would?

I personally would never experiment such a thing on my iPhone.

However, it is not possible to charge both the MagSafe battery pack and your iPhone simultaneously using separate power sources. When the MagSafe battery pack is attached to your iPhone, it will prioritize charging the iPhone first. Only after the iPhone reaches a certain charge level will the MagSafe battery pack start charging itself. It is not designed to allow for simultaneous charging of both the battery pack and the iPhone using different power sources.
