If youΓÇÖre on the go a lot, a power bank is practically a backpack
essential, and while a chunkier device is sometimes necessary for power
users, if you just need something to juice up your phone you can easily stay
within the realms of pocketability. BaseusΓÇÖ Picogo 5K belongs to the latter
category, and right now you can pick one up for $36, which is a record low
price.

While this particular accessory only made it into the "others we tested"
section in our guide to the best MagSafe power banks for iPhone, thatΓÇÖs
only because it was slightly beaten in the slimness department by the Anker
Nano. However, as we noted in the guide, the Nano doesnΓÇÖt have a stand, and
the Picogo 5K does, so if you like to be able to prop up your phone while
itΓÇÖs charging, it might be the better pick for you.

As you can probably guess from its name, BaseusΓÇÖ power bank has a 5,000mAh
capacity and is Qi2-certified. In our testing. It gave our tester iPhone 15 a
43 percent bump in battery in 42 minutes, which returned the phone to 91
percent. It has a curved design and is wrapped in soft silicone, making it
easy to grip in a pinch.

As a reminder, MagSafe charging is supported on iPhone 12 models and later,
though youΓÇÖll need an iPhone 13 or later to reach the 15W charging speed on
a third-party Qi2 accessory such as the one featured in this deal. If you
don't need the built-in stand, Baseus has a similar magnetic power bank
without it on sale for only $20. You can also upgrade to a 10K bank with the
same design for only $40.
