A magnetic battery pack that clings to iPhone with a death grip and charges wirelessly almost as fast as wired — sounds like a marketing fairy tale. But that’s exactly what the Baseus PicoGo AM52 promises, and it will soon be available for purchase in Russia. The new product will be especially relevant for those who have already installed the first beta version of iOS 27 and encountered increased battery drain. An extra 10,000 mAh in your pocket definitely won’t hurt in such a situation.
The battery is quite compact for its capacity
Baseus is one of the most well-known manufacturers of chargers, cables, and accessories, whose products have long been stocked on marketplace shelves. Now the company is bringing a fresh magnetic power bank to the market, aimed squarely at the iPhone audience. Sales are set to launch on June 19 on Ozon.
Baseus Magnetic Power Bank for iPhone: Size, Weight, and Attachment
The main feature of the PicoGo AM52 is that it doesn’t look like a brick. The body is only 16 mm thick, with dimensions of 6.6 x 10.31 x 1.6 cm, and weighs 204 grams. For a 10,000 mAh power bank, that’s genuinely compact. It easily fits in a jeans pocket alongside your phone without dragging them down.
You can easily put the battery in your pocket and take it with you
The body is made of silicone and aluminum alloy, in black. Inside are 16 magnets with a holding force of up to 13 N. In practice, this means the battery won’t fall off the iPhone, even when you pull the smartphone out of your pocket or type on the go. You can stick it on the back panel and forget about it — the phone charges while your hands remain free.
Baseus also highlights its triple cooling system and temperature control: the manufacturer claims heat stays below 38°C. It sounds like a small detail, but overheating is usually what kills wireless charging speed and the owner’s nerves. A short 30 cm USB-C cable is included in the box.
Fast 25W Wireless iPhone Charging: How Qi2.2 Works
The most interesting part is the standard. The PicoGo AM52 is certified under the Qi2.2 standard, the newest wireless charging protocol. It delivers up to 25W wirelessly, a significant leap compared to older magnetic power banks that barely managed 7.5-15W.
A bit of history. Wireless charging on iPhone was stuck at modest power levels for years, and magnetic batteries were seen more as a convenience than a real alternative to a wall outlet. Qi2.2 changes the equation: the manufacturer cites its own lab data showing that the iPhone 17 Pro Max charges to 50% in 34 minutes wirelessly. With a cable, the same smartphone reaches 65% in half an hour.

If you need maximum speed, the battery has a USB-C port with a maximum output of up to 45W. That’s full-fledged fast charging territory — enough even to top up a lightweight laptop or tablet. Input is also fast: the power bank itself charges at 30W. And yes, the AM52 can power two devices simultaneously — one via the magnet, the other via cable.
Which iPhones Support 25W Qi2.2 Charging
There’s an important nuance worth knowing in advance. The full 25W via Qi2.2 is only available on iPhone 16 and 17, and only with iOS 26 installed on the smartphone. Models from iPhone 12 to 15 charge via MagSafe at 15W — still decent, but no records.
Just magnetically attach it to the back panel, and the device charges
Via cable, the range is wider. iPhone 17 takes up to 40W, while the iPhone Air, SE, 16, 15, and 14 lines get up to 27W. Tablets aren’t forgotten either: iPad mini, Air, and Pro charge via cable at the same 27W. So one accessory covers almost your entire Apple device lineup.
Android smartphones can also be charged from it. Wireless charging is supported by Google Pixel 10 Pro XL (up to 25W), Pixel 8 and 9 (up to 12W). And via cable, Samsung Galaxy S22-S25 smartphones charge at a solid 45W. AirPods, by the way, can also be placed on the magnet — they get 5W.
How Much Does the Baseus PicoGo AM52 Cost and Where to Buy It
A great option, especially for travel
The official sales launch in Russia is June 19 on Ozon. At the time of publication, the price for the Russian market hasn’t been announced yet, so we’ll see the exact amount in rubles right at launch. For reference: abroad, the PicoGo AM52 costs around 60-80 dollars, so in Russia you can expect approximately 5,000 rubles. On the plus side, Baseus offers a 2-year warranty with device replacement and a set of Qi2.2, FCC, CE, UL, ROHS, and UN38.3 certifications. The last one is especially important: it confirms that the battery can be safely taken on an airplane.
The practical takeaway is simple. If you have an iPhone 16 or 17 and you’re tired of cables, the PicoGo AM52 is one of the most interesting options at the start of summer: slim, fast via Qi2.2, and with genuine MagSafe accessory support. If you have an older iPhone, don’t expect miracles with 25W — but 15W wirelessly and 45W via cable still make it a versatile travel battery. The main thing is to wait for the price on June 19 and decide whether you’re willing to pay a premium for the slim body and the latest standard.
