Baseus Picogo Air AM71 Debuts as a 6.8mm Ultra-Thin Magnetic Power Bank
Baseus has introduced the Picogo Air AM71, an impressively slim magnetic power bank designed for users who want extra battery life without adding much bulk to their phone. Measuring just 6.8mm thick, it is one of the thinnest magnetic power banks currently available and is only slightly thicker than the iPhone 17 Air’s 5.6mm profile.
The new Baseus Picogo Air AM71 is aimed at people who want a lightweight, pocket-friendly charging solution that stays easy to handle while attached to a smartphone. Its slim body makes it thinner than several popular alternatives, including the Ugreen MagFlow Air and Anker Nano, both of which measure around 8.6mm thick.
Despite its ultra-thin design, the Picogo Air AM71 carries a 5,000mAh battery. That should be enough to give most smartphones a useful top-up during the day, especially for commuters, travelers, and anyone who often runs low on power before getting home.
For wireless charging, the power bank supports magnetic charging at up to 7.5W for compatible devices. It does not include Qi2 support, which means its wireless charging speed is lower than some rivals that offer up to 15W wireless charging. However, Baseus balances this with faster wired charging through USB-C, delivering up to 20W output for users who want a quicker recharge.
One of the standout features of the Picogo Air AM71 is NFC PowerSense. This allows users to check power bank details directly from a smartphone through the companion app. After pairing, users can view useful information such as remaining battery capacity, battery health, charging cycles, and temperature. This adds a smart monitoring element that can help users better understand the condition and performance of the power bank over time.
Baseus has also focused on heat management. The Picogo Air AM71 features a grooved design that helps with heat dissipation, while the aluminum unibody gives it a clean and premium look. The compact build is available in two color options: silver and black.
The power bank is also CCC-certified, making it suitable for flight use in China. This could make it a practical accessory for frequent travelers who need a slim backup battery that is easy to carry.
The Baseus Picogo Air AM71 is now available in the United States, the United Kingdom, and across the Eurozone. In the US, it is priced at $69.99. In the UK, it costs £61.13, while buyers in the Eurozone can purchase it for €69.99.
Its pricing places it slightly above the Xiaomi UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank, which also has a 6.8mm design and similar charging performance. Xiaomi’s model is priced at £54.99 in the UK and €59.99 in the EU, making it a cheaper alternative for buyers focused mainly on value.
Overall, the Baseus Picogo Air AM71 stands out for its extremely slim 6.8mm profile, magnetic convenience, 20W USB-C charging, smart battery monitoring, and premium aluminum design. While the lack of Qi2 may disappoint users looking for faster wireless charging, its thin and lightweight build makes it an appealing choice for anyone who wants a sleek magnetic power bank that does not make their phone feel bulky.
