My favorite type of software update is one that unlocks secret hardware features, and the Apple MagSafe battery is the latest surprise – you'll be able to wirelessly charge an iPhone at a faster 7,5 watts instead of the 5 watts of iPhone. originally, once you apply the 2.7 firmware update (via 9to5Mac).
You can wait for an over-the-air update or plug a Lightning to USB cable from the pack into a connected Mac or iPad to get the fix, then off you go, as they say.
But if I'm being honest, I wouldn't install the update yet — I might wait for news from Apple (or reviews) to see if it will affect battery temperature.
See, I bought a MagSafe battery myself last year for my iPhone mini, but returned the battery pretty quickly. As I wrote, the Mini-MagSafe combo was uncomfortably hot without a case – but with one case, the MagSafe battery felt a bit too loose and tended to slide around while I was holding it. (Yes, I was using Apple's own Clear Case with MagSafe, not a third-party knockoff.)

And for you to understand why I find it hard to imagine that better now that the MagSafe battery produces more juice. In our MagSafe battery review, Dieter pointed out that the 5W charging speed was intended to minimize heat and preserve battery longevity.
Now, maybe Apple has also made some other changes that will fix the heat issue – the company might have changed the charging frequency and duration. Maybe if it charges at 7,5W for short periods it will need to charge less often, and it might even be less annoying for those of us who wear it all day.
If so, I might buy one again. I have contacted Apple and will let you know what the company says.
