Is It Safe to Keep a MagSafe Power Bank Attached All the Time?

I recently bought a wireless MagSafe power bank (bavin brand) for my old iPhone SE 2nd Gen. My question is, is it safe to leave the wireless MagSafe power bank attached to my iPhone SE 2nd Gen all the time? I have a MagSafe case for iPhone SE 2nd Gen, and it sticks to the power bank like glue. Will this cause any damage to the battery (iPhone SE) in the long run?


I bought the charger to extend my phone's battery life while it’s always attached.

iPhone SE, iOS 17

Safe to Leave a MagSafe Charger Always Plugged In:

No. Only have it plugged in when there is a ness to use it. If there is a power surge or power spur, then that can lead to damage. If an update comes about, then it would automatically install, which is something to avoid altogether, incase bugs are reported.

Just be aware that wireless charging tends to generate more heat ... which could potentially affect your iPhone if left attached 24x7.


As an example, when I charge my AirPods Pro 2 with wireless charging overnight, the charging case is noticeably warm. If, instead, I use a separate power adapter and cable, there is little or no heat felt on the case during the same time period.
