My go-to Qi 2 travel power bank is finally under $30

Much of the recent innovation in power banks has revolved around Qi 2 charging technology. If you need a good power bank, you have a decent choice and I use the Baseus Picogo. discount and is currently up to $28.

The Picogo is a 10,000 mAh power bank and has a sleek design with strong magnets that allow you to attach it to your iPhone and Pixel without any problems. I used this model with myself Pixel 10 Pro XL and iPhone 17 Proand after using it for a year I didn’t see any problem.

❌ Skip this contract if: Requires Qi 2.2 with 25W charging. In that case, buy the Baseus Picogo AM52, now it’s $52.

There’s a lot to like about the Picogo power bank. The 10,000 mAh battery is enough to fully charge the phone and I really like the design; the metal chassis makes it durable and the Qi 2 magnets are strong – they connected to my iPhone and Pixel without a problem.

With Qi 2 connectivity, you get 15W charging, and since the power bank stays attached to the phone, it’s more than adequate for travel, albeit slower. This is a huge advantage over conventional power banks, and the Picogo’s size and weight give it an edge over its competitors.

There is a dedicated USB-C port with up to 22.5W, which is useful when you need to connect a secondary device to the power bank. Note that even though the power bank has a 10,000 mAh battery, that doesn’t mean you can charge your phone twice. Due to the charging efficiency and the natural energy lost while charging your phone, you will get close to 5500mAh of actual usage from the Picogo, which is in line with other power banks in the industry.

If you need Qi 2.2 with full 25W charging, you might want to get the Picogo AM52. It has the same design and the same 10,000 mAh battery, and the magnets are the same. The biggest difference is that it can charge 25W continuously, and I found that to be a pretty decent differentiator when I needed to charge my phone. But because of the newer standard, the AM52 costs more – you will He spends $52 to get your hands on the power bank.

Honestly, the regular Picogo should be adequate for most, and the best part is that available now for under $30making it a good overall choice.
