Baseus PicoGo power banks are a game-changer for charging, and I’m here for it

When I’m away from my home or desk, the fear of my phone’s battery plunging into the red is real. Having no access to a power outlet when I’m out and about also causes palpable tension.

As a freelancer, it’s easy to burn through a smartphone’s juice throughout the day, watching product reels, taking photos and videos at events, and even being outside in bright daylight. That’s why having a spare power source is essential for us on-the-go professionals.

However, getting that low battery warning during an unexpected Zoom call usually involves rummaging around for that bulky battery pack that’s probably fallen all the way down your backpack. Digging it out can often leave you flustered and bothered, ruining your train of thought and spoiling your all-important pitch.

Yes, you can deposit it into a suit pocket, but you know its heft will weigh down uncomfortably on one side and lead to unsightly creases in your meticulously put-together tailoring.

That’s when I discovered Baseus and its stellar range of sleek and lightweight PicoGo power banks, perfect for any busy lifestyle.

These ultra-slim power banks are compact, portable, elegant, and packed with handy features, yet they’re barely noticeable, even in a top pocket or wallet. Say goodbye to panicked scrabbling for cables or bulky and chonky battery packs — these refined devices quell that low battery anxiety and put you back in control.

Baseus are currently promoting two flavors of PicoGo ultra-slim power banks that work seamlessly with compatible iPhones:

PicoGo AM41 Ultra-Slim Magnetic Power Bank 5,000mAh: At just 0.3 inches thick, you can slide this razor-thin power bank into your wallet until you need it. Weighing under 4oz, the unit is extremely light and easy to hold. The 20W USB-C port can charge an iPhone 16 to 55% in just 30 minutes, while the power bank is also able to charge compatible iPhones wirelessly. A must-have device for the style-conscious or those who lead active lifestyles.

PicoGo AM41 Ultra-Slim Magnetic Power Bank 10,000mAh Qi2: The ultimate blend of power and portability, this ultra-slim 0.5-inch power bank offers up to 1.7 charges for an iPhone 16. Its MagSafe Qi2 compatibility yields 15W of wireless charging or 27W with wired charging — swift enough to charge an iPhone 16 Pro Max to 49% in just 30 minutes. Perfect for long-haul travelers or those with power-hungry devices.

Baseus brings the battery, without the bulk

Unlike rival power banks featuring bulky, obtuse designs, the metallic PicoGo ultra-slim series brings an air of confidence and gracefulness to the table — you won’t find any dull, scratchy plastics here.

These packs attach easily to any compatible iPhone. Plus, their durable aluminum shell and ergonomic curves effortlessly match Apple device aesthetics, so you’ll never be wary of revealing them at a business meeting where first impressions count. The front of the pack also features soft, delicate silicone, which is resistant to scratches, rubbing, wear, and even fingerprints.

Of course, you might be wondering whether its tiny form factor and performance risk its function and longevity. Rest assured, these PicoGo packs feature a triple cooling system, including an aluminum alloy shell boasting 98% heat dissipation efficiency, an AI chip that tracks temperature no less than 18,000 times per hour, and an advanced graphene design for wide-area heat dissipation. These help preserve the life of your battery pack, allowing for more efficient charging while preventing overheating.

What really delights is how the PicoGo effortlessly fits into your lifestyle without compromising style or practicality. Out for a run? Snap the battery pack to your iPhone’s MagSafe connector without leaving a cable trail. On a long trip? The ultra-slim pack can easily slip into your pocket for a handy top-up. Need to travel light? Simply slide the PicoGo into a wallet sleeve or pocket for whenever you need it. Simply put, these svelte and elegant power banks are as ready to travel as you are.

With Baseus’ PicoGo power banks, you have the freedom to stay charged, stay light, and stay connected, whatever your lifestyle.
