Apple never lets us know what the purpose of a firmware update is. While they typically do not bring any notable new features to the company's accessories, they usually bring some performance improvements and bug fixes.
If you are trying to manually update to the latest firmware version, it's more about luck than anything else. Apple updates its firmware in the background, so there is no way to tap a button and initiate the update. However, the update would obviously occur when your MagSafe Battery Pack is attached to your iPhone, so try that to potentially initiate the update.
