Baseus has launched its latest magnetic power bank, the Picogo Air AM71, to the global market after initially launching it in China earlier this year. The main selling point of this 5000mAh battery pack is its size.
Baseus Picogo Air AM71 Specifications
The power bank measures 0.27 inches thick and weighs just 3.7 oz. To get the size down, Baseus used thinner internal components, including a 0.35mm charging coil and a 0.15mm NFC module, alongside a high-density battery cell. The outer shell is made of aluminum, while the surface that rests against the phone is covered in glass fiber to prevent scratching the device’s back panel.
Wireless charging naturally generates heat, and thinner batteries often struggle with thermal management. To address this, the Picogo Air AM71 includes a few cooling measures. The internal structure uses an aerogel layer and a graphene sheet to move heat away from the battery, while the exterior has a grooved design to help with passive airflow.
Inside, the 5000mAh (19.4Wh) capacity translates to an actual output of roughly 2,750 to 3,250mAh once you account for normal energy conversion loss. This means it is built for partial top-ups rather than full recharges.
According to Baseus, it will charge a standard iPhone to about 68%, or a Pro Max model to 60%. It supports up to 15W for wireless charging. If you need faster speeds, you can plug a device directly into the USB-C port for up to 22.5W of wired output. Recharging the power bank itself maxes out at 20W through that same port.
The power bank comes with a built-in NFC tag. Tapping your phone against the power bank opens the Baseus app, which displays the battery pack’s remaining charge, current temperature, and overall battery health. The software also manages a trickle charging feature that lowers the power output when your phone reaches 80% to reduce wear on the battery.
The device has standard safety protections against overcharging and short circuits, and carries CCC certification. Baseus says it has passed standard durability tests, including temperature extremes and crush resistance.
Pricing and Availability
The Picogo Air AM71 is available in silver and black. It comes with a 60W USB-C cable and costs $69.99 on Amazon in the US. In Europe and the UK, it is priced at €69.99 and £69.99, respectively, through the Baseus store.
In related news, Belkin has recently launched a new 10,000mAh power bank featuring 45W fast charging, a built-in USB-C cable, and an integrated LED display.
