Aulumu M10 power bank hands‑on review: Futuristic style with dual magnetic charging pads and a built‑in cable
Unique futuristic style.
The Aulumu M10 power bank charges up to four devices simultaneously through its dual magnetic wireless charging pads and dual USB‑C outputs. Its built‑in charging cable also acts as a carry loop.David Chien Published
Verdict – Power bank with unique style
The Aulumu M10 power bank simultaneously fast‑charges up to two wired and two wireless devices. Its futuristic design includes a power button, a 5-LED battery level indicator, and multi-color charging light. It also features magnetic mounts front and back, enabling attachment to MagSafe-compatible iPhones as well as accessories such as wallets.
As cons, it lacks detailed per-port charging status, and its maximum power delivery drops when multiple outputs are used. Although it can lay flat on its front and back, the charger’s sides are rounded, preventing it from standing upright. It is quite heavy, so its magnetic charging pad does not securely hold the power bank to the back of all phones.
Nonetheless, the aluminum body power bank is quite sturdy, easily surviving being sat on, and the permanently-attached charging cable eliminates the need to hunt for one.

Packaging
The portable charger comes with a quick-start guide and a fabric pouch.
Design
The Aulumu M10 is similar to other comparable palm-sized power banks in size and weight, making it easy to carry in a purse or pocket in its included fabric pouch.
It is not drop- or water-resistant, but its aluminum body gives it great rigidity. It did not bend when sat on during testing. The front and back are not perfectly flat, so there’s some rocking when placed face down on a table. The curved left and right edges prevent the power bank from standing upright on its long edges, but it can stand on its narrower bottom edge.
The front has a hidden magnetic mount that can be used to attach accessories, such as the Aulumu G05 Pro multi-tool stand that Notebookcheck reviewed (sold here on Amazon).
A 5-LED battery level indicator, power button, and white watch-charging pad are located on the front near the vent holes. The Aulumu M10 will automatically turn on when a device is connected via cable for charging or placed on the charging pads, or it can be manually turned on and off using the power button.
The power bank has a multi-color status light, USB-C port, and a slim mesh-covered vent along the edge near the built-in USB-C power cable, which can be used as a carry strap. The strap did not come loose when the M10 was loaded with 15 lbs (6.8 kg) of extra weight.
A black MagSafe-compatible charging pad is located on the back. It is magnetic, allowing the power bank to be attached to a phone during wireless charging. A mesh vent is also located on the back to release hot air.
While the Aulumu M10 has an active cooling system, safe handling of any lithium battery as described by the National Fire Protection Association will help minimize the risk of lithium battery fires.
In use
The M10 will automatically detect devices and begin charging. A side light indicates status while the 5-LED front displays the battery level.
The USB‑C port delivers up to 35W and the wireless pad up to 15W, with each output capped at 15W when charging multiple devices. It reliably powered phones, headphones, toys, and game controllers during testing.
Some energy is lost during delivery and storage, and Aulumu rates the M10 conversion efficiency at 53%.
Using the built-in cable, the M10 was able to charge a Moto G Stylus 2024 (5,000 mAh) smartphone 1.3 times while reaching 34.7°C (94.5°F) on a 29.7°C (85.5°F) day. The phone charging speed mirrored that of a fast USB charger.
Wireless phone charging adding about 30% per hour, and the charging pad reached 48.8°C (119.8°F) on a 31.3°C (88.3°F) day. The watch charging pad only outputs 2.5W, so it charged slow and cool.
The M10 is thicker than phones and extends past the bottom edge when magnetically attached.
Due to its weight, gripping both the power bank and phone rather than the phone alone is highly recommended to prevent accidental separation, which occurred easily.
Recharging the power bank
Recharging the power bank is as simple as connecting it to any USB-C power source. The unit accepts up to 35W of input power for fast charging. The 5-LED battery level indicator will blink during charging and will remain continuously on when fully charged.
Charging the Aulumu M10 from empty took 1h 55m with a Cuktech 10 Ultra USB-C charger. Its temperature rose to 40.9°C (105.6°F) on a 30.5°C (86.9°F) day.
Conclusion
The Aulumu M10 power bank comes with a built-in USB-C cable and wireless charging pads to power multiple devices, while its dual magnetic mounts enable the attachment of phones and accessories.
