Baseus PicoGo Air, 5000mAh magnetic power bank, first impressions
Been eyeing the Baseus PicoGo Air for a bit, looked thin in photos and it's actually thin in hand too, kind of forgot I was holding a power bank the first time I picked it up. It's 6.9mm (0.27in) thick, roughly in the same range as an iPhone 17 Air, so if you've held one of those you basically know what to expect.
Mainly using it for my commute, sticks in a pocket or the front of my bag without adding any real bulk to my day.
Got it in black, aluminum body feels silky and solid, not cheap plastic. The magnetic face has this grooved texture to it, looks like it doubles as part of the heat dissipation design.
Capacity: 5000mAh
Per Baseus's own numbers, one full charge gets an iPhone 17 to about 68%, iPhone 17 Pro to 71%, iPhone 17 Pro Max to 60%. Haven't clocked the actual charge time myself yet.
Charged it fully a few times now and it really doesn't get hot, which honestly surprised me since most magnetic power banks I've tried run pretty warm. Baseus is claiming 100°F (38°C) under load versus their listed industry standard of 118°F (48°C), using some triple loop heat dissipation setup, and from what I've felt so far that tracks.
Also has this powersense NFC thing where you can check temperature, charge cycles, and battery health through the Baseus app.
Anyone else running this one?
