BentoStack Charge 5000 Apple Accessory Organizer and Wireless Power Bank

BentoStack Charge 5000 Review — The Apple Accessory Organizer with Built‑In Power

BentoStack Charge 5000 by Function101

If you keep your iPhone, AirPods and charging cables all over your desk, the BentoStack Charge 5000 promises to tidy up and power up in one compact package. Function101 combined a 5000mAh power bank, a certified Qi wireless charging pad and an Apple accessory organizer into a single “Charge Cover” made for desks and travel. I tested it for daily use — here’s what worked, what didn’t, and whether it’s worth the price.

What the BentoStack Charge 5000 actually is

The BentoStack Charge 5000 is a modular Apple accessory organizer top cover with an integrated 5000mAh rechargeable battery and a Qi wireless charging pad. It’s designed to sit on top of Function101’s BentoStack boxes or work independently on a desk. The Charge includes a USB‑A port for wired charging, a USB‑A to USB‑C cable for recharging the unit, and a soft‑touch plastic finish.

Quick overview

  • Brand: Function101
  • Battery: 5000mAh (rated 18.5Wh)

  • Ports: USB‑A output (DC 5V/2.4A max), Type‑C input (DC 5V/2A) for charging the power bank

  • Finish: Light, durable plastic with soft‑touch surface
  • Price at review: $54.95 (compare at $59.95)

Key features and real‑world benefits

1. Integrated 5000mAh power bank

The 5000mAh battery gives you enough reserve capacity for around one full charge on most modern iPhones or a top‑up session for AirPods and smaller accessories. It’s a practical compromise — not a multi‑day battery pack, but big enough to rescue your phone on a long meeting, a short flight, or during a day away from a wall outlet.

  • Benefit: One lightweight unit replaces a separate desk power bank and charging puck.
  • Consideration: Power-hungry users who need multiple full phone charges will want a larger external battery.

2. Certified Qi wireless charging pad

The Charge Cover includes a certified Qi (WPC Qi 1.2) wireless pad with up to 10W transmission power. That means click‑and‑charge convenience for Qi‑enabled iPhones and the latest AirPods models.

  • Benefit: Drop your phone or AirPods case on the pad and charging begins — no cable fuss.
  • Consideration: Wireless output maxes at 10W, so it won’t match the fastest wired USB‑C PD charging speeds.

3. USB‑A wired output for broader compatibility

If you prefer wired charging or need to charge an iPad or Apple Watch, the USB‑A port delivers up to 2.4A (approx. 12W). Function101 includes a USB‑A to USB‑C cable for recharging the unit, giving a familiar plug‑and‑play experience for many users.

  • Benefit: Charge non‑Qi devices and older iPhones that perform better with a wired connection.
  • Consideration: There’s no USB‑C PD output, so this isn’t ideal for fast charging the newest tablets or phones that support higher wattage PD charging.

4. Built for organization — not just charging

As an Apple accessory organizer, the Charge Cover helps keep cables, adapters and AirPods in one place. The soft‑touch finish and light plastic feel premium on a desktop while staying durable for travel.

  • Benefit: Less desk clutter, easier morning routines, and a neat place to stow accessories while charging.
  • Consideration: If your goal is strictly a slim pocket power bank, this is heavier and larger than ultra‑thin chargers.

“In daily use the BentoStack Charge 5000 simplified my desk — my iPhone and AirPods sit on the same spot where charging happens.”

Pros and cons

  • Pros: Combines organizer + wireless charger + power bank; certified Qi charging; useful wired USB‑A output; clean soft‑touch finish; reasonably priced.
  • Cons: No USB‑C PD output for fast charging; 5000mAh limits full-charge count; slightly heavier than ultra‑portable slim batteries.

Who should buy the BentoStack Charge 5000

  • Users who want a tidy desk solution that charges iPhones and AirPods without extra cables.
  • People who already use BentoStack organizers and want the compatible Charge Cover.
  • Light travelers or commuters who need one reliable top‑up charge and a place to stash accessories.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Power users who need multiple full phone charges or fast USB‑C PD charging for tablets.
  • Those who prefer an ultra‑thin pocket power bank — this unit favors function and organization over minimal size.

Final verdict

The BentoStack Charge 5000 is a thoughtfully designed hybrid: a practical Apple accessory organizer that happens to carry a useful 5000mAh battery and a certified Qi wireless pad. For desk users, remote workers, and light travelers who value uncluttered spaces and convenience, it hits the right balance of features, finish, and price.

If you need maximum charging power or multiple full phone charges during multi‑day trips, a larger dedicated power bank with USB‑C PD is a better choice. But if you want a tidy workspace and reliable emergency charging for your iPhone and AirPods, the BentoStack Charge 5000 is a compact, well‑priced tool that keeps your gear together and topped up.

Recommendation

Buy the BentoStack Charge 5000 if you want a multi‑function Apple accessory organizer with wireless charging and a portable battery for everyday use. Skip it if you need high‑wattage USB‑C fast charging or bulk battery capacity for long trips.
