There have been reports of those magnetic cables burning out the charge controllers on devices.
As far as i recall it was due to the connector being double sided so you can connect the cable in either orientation, and them not being correctly soldered internally.
This shouldnt be a problem with a brand name more expensive magnetic cable i guess, but all ive come upon so far are cheap chinese brands.
So i wouldnt use one myself and advise against it, at least untill a reputable manufacturer comes up with one.
