Baseus PicoGo Air AM72 Adds Qi2 Charging for iPhone Duo at $59.99
The 5,000mAh AM72 pairs a slim magnetic design with 15W Qi2 and 25W USB-C charging. It’s listed at $59.99 with a launch discount.
Baseus’s PicoGo Air AM72 is designed around the iPhone Duo’s shorter, wider shape, giving buyers a magnetic power bank that the company says fits the phone while clearing its camera. It combines 5,000mAh capacity with Qi2 wireless charging up to 15W and wired USB-C output up to 25W. The listed price is $59.99 shipped, described as $20 off the regular price. That makes the AM72 a compact charging option for Duo owners who want to add power without carrying a larger battery pack.
The fit is the main reason to consider this model over a general-purpose magnetic pack. A battery that sits awkwardly across a phone’s back can interfere with the camera or feel cumbersome during use. Baseus says the AM72’s dimensions, rounded corners and magnetic layout are tailored to the Duo, with a 1:1 fit and camera clearance. That claim should matter most to people who plan to leave the pack attached while holding or using the phone. Buyers should still check compatibility before ordering, as the product listing advises.
A slim pack with two charging options
At its thinnest point, the AM72 measures 7.9mm, or 0.31 inches, and has an aluminum-alloy shell. That measurement gives a sense of the pack’s profile, though it doesn’t describe its full dimensions or how much thickness it adds across the entire phone. The 5,000mAh capacity is aimed at portable top-ups rather than replacing a larger power bank for extended time away from an outlet. Baseus doesn’t provide a real-world estimate here for how much of the Duo’s battery the pack can restore, so the result will depend on the phone’s use and charging conditions.
Qi2 magnetic charging supports up to 15W, while the USB-C port can deliver up to 25W with compatible devices and charging setups. Wireless charging offers the convenience of attaching the pack and continuing to use the phone without plugging in a cable. Wired charging gives users another option when they want to connect the pack directly. The two maximum rates describe different charging methods; the product information doesn’t say that they can run at full speed simultaneously.
Baseus includes a short Type-C cable in the box for wired charging. That’s a practical addition for a compact accessory, though the source doesn’t specify the cable’s length or describe whether it can be used to charge the pack itself. Actual wired speeds can vary with the connected device, cable and operating conditions, as the product listing notes. For buyers comparing portable batteries, the useful distinction is that the AM72 offers both a magnetic wireless connection and a higher-rated wired output in one slim unit.
PowerSense adds battery information
The AM72 also includes NFC support through Baseus’s PowerSense system. Baseus says an iPhone can show details such as the pack’s battery health and remaining capacity, along with other charging information. This gives owners a way to check the accessory’s status without a display built into the battery itself. The source doesn’t specify which iPhone models support every PowerSense feature or whether setup requires a particular app, so those details are worth checking in the product information before buying.
Baseus previously used PowerSense on the PicoGo Air AM71, which was covered in a hands-on look at that model. The AM72’s distinguishing pitch is its form factor for the iPhone Duo, alongside the same general idea of surfacing pack information on the phone. The available details don’t establish whether the AM72 changes charging performance compared with the AM71, so buyers should focus on the fit, capacity and charging connections described for this model.
Who should consider the AM72
The AM72 looks most relevant to iPhone Duo owners who value a close-fitting magnetic pack and want a wired option available as well. Its 5,000mAh capacity and 7.9mm minimum thickness point toward everyday portability, while the 15W Qi2 and 25W USB-C ratings give buyers a clear picture of the two supported charging routes. The trade-off is that a slim 5,000mAh pack has less capacity than larger portable batteries, and the source provides no measured charging time or independent performance results.
At $59.99 shipped, the AM72’s value depends on whether its Duo-specific shape and PowerSense information justify choosing it over a more general battery. The source describes that price as $20 below the regular price, but doesn’t provide a separate release date or regional availability details. For anyone considering the launch offer, the concrete buying checks are device compatibility, the expected fit around the camera, and whether 5,000mAh suits their typical charging needs. Those details matter more than the headline charging rates alone.
