Baseus Launches PicoGo Air, a 6.9mm 5,000mAh Magnetic Power Bank

Ultra‑thin construction with NFC diagnostics and active thermal monitoring prioritizes pocketable safety over faster wireless charging speeds.

Overview

  • Baseus announced the PicoGo Air on Friday, July 10, as the thinnest member of its PicoGo family with a 5,000mAh capacity and a 6.9mm (about 0.27 inch) aluminum body.
  • The Air includes an NFC tag and companion app for live diagnostics such as battery percentage, temperature, and cycle count plus a cooling system that uses graphene, aerogel insulation, and frequent temperature checks.
  • Wireless magnetic charging is limited to 7.5W because the Air is not Qi2 certified, while wired charging via USB‑C supports up to 22.5W for faster top‑ups.
  • Baseus lists the PicoGo Air at $59.99 on Amazon US but retailers launched a promo code (EHYGXRMR) that reduces the price to about $39.99–$40 as part of a time‑limited deal.
  • The PicoGo Air is aimed at commuters and travelers who value minimal bulk; buyers wanting faster or higher‑capacity charging can choose other PicoGo models such as the AM52 or 10,000mAh MagSafe packs that offer Qi2 or higher wired outputs.
