Baseus PicoGo AM52 Qi2.2 Power Bank Review: Slim, Cool, and Built for Travel

A low battery notification can turn a perfectly fine day into a mild emergency. Battery anxiety is a real thing, and it’s only gotten worse as our phones do more. That’s where Baseus, a leading charging accessory brand, comes in.

With the new PicoGo AM52 Qi2.2 power bank, Baseus specifically takes that stress off the table. Not only does it add more battery, but Baseus rethinks what a power bank should actually feel like to carry and use every day, so you aren’t lugging around something big, bulky, and not travel-friendly. Here’s what you need to know.

Slim, Cool, and Designed for Travel

At just 16mm thick and 6.95 oz (~195 grams), the AM52 is only about 1.2 times the weight of the iPhone 17 Air. Whether you’re in a long commute, catching a flight, or just need to make sure your phone stays charged during a workday, you can snap the PicoGo AM52 onto the back of your phone and let it do its thing.

The AM52 snaps onto your phone with 16 upgraded N52 magnets, providing a stronger, more precise hold than older MagSafe-compatible accessories. It’s designed to feel like a natural extension of your phone, without additional wires and no extra weight to drag you down. So whether you’re navigating a busy airport or rushing between meetings, it stays locked in place without you having to think about it.

Heat is a common problem with wireless charging, and it’s something you tend to notice easily. To fix this problem, the PicoGo AM52 uses a triple-loop cooling system. Combining NTC smart temperature control, graphene-layered cooling, and an aluminum alloy shell, the power bank keeps surface temperatures below 102°F (39°C). That’s about 12% cooler than most comparable Qi2.2 power banks and well below the industry standard of 118.4°F (48°C).

In practical terms, it means you can run wireless charging continuously through a long commute or a full travel day without your phone getting uncomfortably warm in your hand, a small thing that makes a real difference.

Speaking of travel, it’s also airline-friendly, which matters if you’re a frequent flyer. The 10,000mAh capacity hits the sweet spot of all-day power without crossing into territory that causes headaches at airport security.

Qi2.2 Brings Wired Charging Speeds

The AM52 is one of the first power banks to offer Qi2.2-certified wireless charging, pushing up to 25W wirelessly, the kind of speed that we usually see with a cable. So if you snap it on during your commute and have 30 minutes before you reach the office, you’re getting a meaningful top-up, not a trickle.

Prefer wired? The second model of the AM52 handles that too, with 45W full-speed USB-C charging. And when it comes to recharging the power bank itself, the 30W input means you can go from empty to full in just 1.5 hours.

One of the more practical features of the AM52, especially in the built-in cable version, is the ability to charge three devices simultaneously. Say you’re on a long-haul flight. You can attach the AM52 to your phone to charge it wirelessly, plug your AirPods case into the built-in cable, and connect your iPad via the USB-C port. One power bank, three devices, no outlet required, and you won’t have to rush to find a charger after you land.

The standard version (without the built-in cable) still lets you run two devices at once, with a 30cm USB-C cable included in the box. And across both models, you can fast-charge an iPhone 17 Pro to 45% in just 30 minutes, which is enough to get you through the back half of almost any travel day.
