The most useful portable power bank will always be the one that you actually carry. It doesn’t matter if the charging cable auto-retracts or what the battery capacity is if it gets left behind. When you’re only halfway through your day and your smartphone is already in the red, that powerful but bulky power bank sitting on your entryway table can’t help you.
Trusted electronics brand Baseus designed its PicoGo Series of magnetic chargers around a simple design principle: portability is just as important as power. New for 2026, the PicoGo Air is its slimmest model yet, making it the perfect daily companion for quick boosts and reliable charging with 5,000mAh of battery power. This new release complements the PicoGo AM52 magnetic power bank, which delivers 10,000mAh of lightweight battery life. Both the PicoGo Air and the PicoGo AM52 are on sale until July 31, making this a great opportunity to upgrade your everyday carry.
Why thin matters most for daily charging
Unless you’re a parent carrying snacks, toys, and water bottles, you probably don’t lug around a mega-sized bag. And even then, space is at a premium when you’re choosing what to pack. Realistically, you probably don’t need a cumbersome 20,000mAh battery that feels like a brick. And if you’re only packing your pockets, a power bank probably isn’t even on your list — but it can be.
There is a time and place for high-capacity power banks, but most days, a quick and reliable charge to top up our phones while streaming a show on a commute or refreshing our AirPods for a post-work run is all that’s needed. You can easily get that power boost from the Baseus PicoGo Air, the ultra-slim portable power bank that measures just 6.9mm thick. It’s small enough to slide into your pocket along with your wallet, but powerful enough to maintain your smartphone’s battery levels all day.
Meet the Baseus PicoGo magnetic charging series
The Baseus PicoGo Series centers on portability. Both options in the PicoGo lineup — the PicoGo Air and the PicoGo AM52 — are travel-friendly with enough power to keep your iPhone and AirPods going all day.

If you find yourself running low on power at midday, it’s time to add this small but mighty accessory to your bag. The new PicoGo Air is Baseus’s slimmest portable power bank yet, at just 6.9mm thick and so light it’s easy to forget it’s there. When it’s attached to the back of your phone, it’s barely noticeable, even when you’re making a call. If you want an easy addition to your must-have accessories – that doesn’t feel like a burden to pack — this is it. With a simple magnetic snap to the back of your iPhone, you’re charging and on your way.
The PicoGo Air may be compact, but it still packs a 5,000mAh battery. That’s enough charging capability to keep your phone going while bouncing around town on client visits or adventuring in the city with family. When you need a quick boost or a full recharge, you’ll get 22.5W fast charging, plus the ability to charge a second device using the USB-C port.

The Baseus PicoGo AM52 with a built-in cable gives you full 25W Qi2.2 magnetic charging plus the option to plug in when you need faster wired power. You get a slim 10,000mAh design and controlled heat performance, but without having to carry an extra cable in your bag.
The PicoGo Air is designed for regular power boosts, while the AM52 is built for longer periods away from home and the office. If your average day involves more travel, less outlet-adjacent downtime, or multiple devices needing charging, the PicoGo AM52 offers a similar sleek design to the PicoGo Air with significantly more charging power. The AM52 measures just 16mm thick and weighs 197g, making it easy to pack and pocket-friendly. The bonus is its 10,000mAh battery, which offers additional hours of power for your devices.
The AM52 delivers Qi2.2-certified 25W wireless magnetic charging alongside 45W USB-C charging for added flexibility. When the power bank isn’t in use, the USB charging cord doubles as a lanyard that can attach to your bag. This makes it a more practical option for frequent flyers and travelers who need to support multiple devices over longer days.
Compact size with top-tier safety
When so much power is packed into such small devices, temperature management is key, especially during fast-charging sessions. Both PicoGo power bank models feature top-tier safety technology to keep your charger cool and efficient. These devices spend hours pressed up against your smartphone, so you want the peace of mind that your tech is protected.
The PicoGo Air features triple temperature control: graphene-layered cooling, aerogel insulation, and intelligent temperature monitoring. Together, these technologies help maintain safe operating temperatures while protecting your phone’s battery health and keeping the MagSafe battery pack cool without overheating or throttling. And don’t let its thin profile fool you; the PicoGo Air passes nail-penetration safety testing, so you can confidently toss it in your bag among other gadgets.
The PicoGo AM52 has advanced thermal control featuring graphene cooling, an aluminum alloy shell, and AI-assisted temperature management. The AM52 stays 12% cooler than most traditional Qi2.2 power banks, below the already stringent industry standard.
When it comes to putting safety first, both PicoGo power banks prioritize advanced heat control to deliver efficient charging while protecting your devices.
Which PicoGo fits your lifestyle?
If you’re a daily commuter, a remote worker, or a traveler who prides themselves on never checking a bag, the PicoGo Air will fit easily into your lifestyle. If you often find your battery levels low, but don’t want the commitment of a traditional power bank, sliding this credit-card-sized charger next to your wallet or snapping it onto the back of your smartphone is a simple way to power up. Its slim profile and lightweight design make it a low-commitment addition to your everyday carry, ensuring that you always have a boost within reach.
Content creators, frequent flyers, and digital nomads with heavy daily phone usage and other accessories to cart around can easily make room for the PicoGo AM52. This compact magnetic charger is designed with more battery power for users who spend more time on the road or away from outlets. The larger battery capacity offers more flexibility to charge multiple devices, but the slim design doesn’t sacrifice space or add unnecessary weight to your bag.
Why size matters in modern power banks
The best kind of portable power bank is the one that you pack without hesitation. The PicoGo Series lives at the confluence of power and portability, offering two pocket-sized choices with enough power to keep your smartphone in the green all day. Both the PicoGo Air and the PicoGo AM52 are small enough to snap onto your smartphone, with different charging speeds and capacities to suit your needs.
Whether you value the increased battery capacity of the PicoGo AM52 or the ultra-slim design of the PicoGo Air, both offer portability and reliable charging. With two options that each make a seamless addition to your regular device lineup, Baseus makes it easy to keep your devices powered without the power bank bulk.
