The Baseus Picogo Magsafe Portable Charger is a 10,000mAh battery pack that snaps onto the back of an iPhone via MagSafe magnets, then wirelessly charges through Qi2 at up to 15W. USB-C on the bottom edge also outputs 27W to charge over a cable at nearly double the wireless speed. The whole battery is about the size of a credit card and half an inch thick. Aluminum housing wraps the length of the pack for durability and heat dissipation.
A portable MagSafe charger that can stick to the back of your iPhone
A Qi2 charger like the Picogo lines up perfectly on the back of an iPhone every time you snap it on. The 11N magnet ring pulls the pack into position, and once locked in place, power transfers at the full 15W the standard allows. Older Qi pads without alignment top out around 7.5W on iPhones because they lose the rest of the energy to heat from misaligned coils.
A 10,000 mAh battery is enough to fill an iPhone 16 up about 1.7 times before the Picogo itself is out of juice. Recharging the pack happens through the USB-C port on the bottom edge, which accepts up to 27W of input from a wall brick and gets from dead to full in around two hours. That same USB-C port also puts out 27W the other direction, so you can plug in an iPad, an Android phone, or a friend’s iPhone and skip the wireless coil entirely. Weight is 7.4 ounces, on par with a small paperback book. Four white LEDs on the side show how much charge the pack has left when you tap the power button.
Compatibility spans the iPhone 12 through iPhone 17 series, along with any MagSafe or Qi2-certified case. A MagSafe case with a metal ring built in also holds the Picogo firmly against the back of the phone through the case. The USB-C port works with any device that accepts USB-C charging, from Android phones and iPads to Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck. Non-MagSafe devices need to plug in with a cable, since the wireless coil is calibrated for iPhones.
Baseus sells a full range of Picogo power banks at different capacities and speeds, from a 5,000 mAh Mini with Qi2 15W to the newer AM61 with 25W Qi2.2 wireless and 45W wired charging. The Picogo shown here is the 10,000 mAh Qi2 model, the mid-tier in the current lineup. At $38, down from $70, the current sale takes 46% off the list price.
