How strong is the Apple MagSafe Battery it if you hold it horizontally BY THE BATTERY itself while attached to the phone?
Does it slide off? Can it take a subtle shake?
I’m looking to to mount it using various Moment magnets and the attachment point will be the battery itself, not the phone.
 
It’s solid. The magnet is stronger you’d think and the phone can take a shake if you hold the battery only. I use the MagSafe battery pack regularly when I am at work and my phone is constantly in and out my pocket and it hasn’t detached in over 1.5 months of use. If you hold it horizontally by the battery, the phone is going nowhere. That is me using a 12 Mini though so, although it’s unlikely, things may be different with something like a Pro Max.
