Qi2.2 power banks are one of the most useful accessories for iPhone 17 owners, but finding one that does not run hot or add unwanted bulk is not easy. That is where Baseus comes in. With its latest PicoGo AM52 MagSafe battery pack, Baseus aims to deliver faster and safer magnetic charging without the added bulk. Qi2.2, also known as Qi2 25W, is an exciting upgrade to the Qi wireless charging standard.

Finalized in July 2025, the new specification increases wireless charging speeds to 25W (an increase from 15W in the previous Qi2), making wireless charging nearly as fast as wired. Built around Apple's MagSafe system, Qi2.2 uses built-in magnets to improve alignment and charging efficiency. Combined with smarter heat management, Qi2.2 chargers and power banks can charge faster while keeping temperatures under control.

As of now, phones that support the updated Qi2.2 standard include the iPhone 17 and iPhone 16 series, as well as Google’s Pixel 10 Pro XL. Thanks to backward compatibility with Qi2, Qi2.2 power banks can also charge Qi2 devices, such as the rest of the Pixel 10 lineup and older iPhones, at up to 15W. However, not all Qi2.2 power banks are created equal. At higher wattages, wireless charging becomes more sensitive to heat buildup, especially in compact magnetic power banks where airflow is limited.

As a result, many early magnetic chargers either get thicker, overheat, or struggle to maintain peak speeds for more than short bursts before slowing down. The Qi2.2 label alone does not guarantee consistent 25W charging in real-world use. Charging performance still depends on materials, internal layout, and power management. Baseus is among the first accessory makers to roll out a full lineup of Qi2.2 magnetic power banks.

With the new PicoGo AM52 iPhone battery pack, Baseus delivers a slim magnetic power bank without compromising on charging speed or thermal performance. The key point here is that the AM52 delivers the full 25W in a relatively thin design without overheating. Compared to earlier Qi2 power banks, Baseus has improved heat management using a triple-layer cooling system consisting of a graphene heat conduction layer, an aluminum alloy heat dissipation body, and real-time temperature monitoring.

Even at full 25W charging, surface temperatures stay below 102°F (39°C), which Baseus says is around 12 percent cooler than other Qi2.2 power banks. As a result, the AM52 manages to stay thin while delivering faster speeds without overheating. The Baseus PicoGo AM52 pairs a 10,000mAh battery with full 25W Qi2.2 magnetic wireless charging, letting you top up an iPhone 17 much faster than older 15W power banks.

It stays slim and controlled under load, so you get faster charging without extra bulk or heat. The AM52 is the flagship model in the PicoGo lineup. It pairs a 10,000mAh battery with full 25W wireless charging and can charge an iPhone 17 Pro to around 45 percent in about 30 minutes. An extra USB-C port allows for faster 45W wired charging, allowing users to also charge two devices simultaneously. Despite the higher capacity, the power bank stays slim enough for everyday use while attached to a phone.

It measures 0.63 inches thick and weighs 6.95 ounces, which is about 0.32 ounces lighter than the iPhone 17 Pro. The aluminum alloy body and curved edges help it sit comfortably in hand without feeling awkward or top-heavy. The Baseus PicoGo AM52 with a built-in cable gives you full 25W Qi2.2 magnetic charging plus the option to plug in when you need faster wired power. You get the same slim 10,000mAh design and controlled heat performance, but without having to carry an extra cable in your bag.

This version of the AM52 adds a built-in cable, making it easy to charge up to three devices on the go. It supports Qi2 25W wireless charging and faster 45W wired charging via the USB-C port and built-in cable. Speaking of which, the built-in cable also doubles as a lanyard for easier carrying. Aside from the cable, the power bank maintains the same capacity and thermal design. Surface temperatures stay up to 15°F cooler than many other Qi2.2 power banks, and it comes with the same durable aluminum shell.

While the AM52 delivers the fastest charging speeds, Baseus also offers other slimmer Qi2 magnetic power banks for users who prioritize portability. Whether you want an ultra-thin design, higher capacity, or extras like a kickstand, there are several alternatives worth considering. The Baseus PicoGo AM41 is built for people who want a magnetic power bank that doesn’t make their phone feel bulky.

At just 0.3 inches thin, it keeps your phone light and easy to handle, making it ideal for quick, everyday charging without extra bulk. The 5,000mAh AM41 focuses on portability rather than peak charging speed. It does not support Qi2.2, but its slim profile makes it better suited for light, occasional charging throughout the day. At just 0.3 inches thick, it is thin enough to slip into a pocket or small bag.

Despite a slim body, the power bank delivers efficient wireless charging without overheating, with a combination of an aluminum alloy shell, graphene material, and an AI monitoring chip. That said, this model peaks at 15W wirelessly but supports faster 20W wired charging via its USB-C port. If the 5K version feels too small, the 10,000mAh PicoGo AM41 gives you double the battery without doubling the thickness.

At just 0.5 inches, it lasts much longer between charges while still fitting easily in a pocket or small bag. The 10,000mAh version of the AM41 doubles the battery capacity while maintaining a thinner design than most magnetic power banks at 0.59 inches. While it does not reach 25W wirelessly, it supports up to 27W wired charging in a form factor that remains easy to carry. Moreover, this model is also TÜV-certified for temperature control, meaning it stays cooler and more stable during charging.

The PicoGo AM31 is for anyone who wants a small magnetic power bank that can double as a stand. With a 5,000mAh battery in a 0.5-inch body, it keeps your phone powered and propped up at the same time. The AM31 is the most compact option in the lineup. It is built for portability first and works well as a lightweight backup for short charging sessions. Unlike the other models, it includes a built-in kickstand that props the iPhone up in portrait or landscape mode for watching videos, FaceTime calls, or hands-free use.

Qi2.2 brings higher speeds to magnetic power banks, but those speeds only matter if heat is kept under control. Baseus’ PicoGo lineup focuses on faster wireless charging without adding unnecessary bulk, making it a practical upgrade for iPhone 17 users. And right now, adding a Qi2.2 charger to your tech inventory gets even easier because Baseus is offering Android Police readers 20% off both versions of the AM52 charger with code: HKRGVOXN until the end of March.
