Summary

A 10,000 mAh MagSafe battery for iPhone 12 and newer that pairs Qi2 15W wireless with 27W wired charging in a 14.9 mm aluminum shell.

Strengths

  • Macworld measured a 142% recharge of an iPhone 16 Pro — a full charge plus 42% — and gave it Editors’ Choice.
  • Qi2 15W wireless and 27W wired in one of the thinnest 10,000 mAh magnetic bodies.
  • At 14.9 mm and 172 g, an owner who paid about €42 calls the metal build a world apart from plastic rivals.
  • The 11N magnet array keeps the phone aligned through the case.
  • A single USB-C port covers both output and recharge, and the bank refills at 20W.

Weaknesses

  • One USB-C port only, and pass-through charging is not documented.
  • Wireless is capped at 15W, and iPhones throttle when hot, so sustained speed varies.
  • No instrumented thermal test of this model exists.
  • Owner evidence is a single detailed r/MagSafe thread.
  • Baseus’s older 6,000 mAh magnetic models were recalled in 2024 over overheating; this model is not affected.
  • 10,000 mAh is cell capacity: expect roughly 65-70% usable delivery after conversion losses.

Battery and charging

Macworld drained an iPhone 16 Pro to zero, clamped the bank on and measured the final charge: 142%, a full charge plus 42%, close to double what the 5,000 mAh model managed. Wired output is 27W over the single USB-C port, and the bank itself recharges at 20W.

Wireless is Qi2 15W. The one detailed owner thread praises the metal build and wired speed but calls 15W slow for a Pro Max-sized phone, better suited to a wired workflow than a long wireless session. The 10,000 mAh figure is cell capacity, not delivered energy: Macworld’s result implies roughly 65-70% usable delivery after conversion losses, which lines up with the retailer’s 1.3-charge claim.

Heat and safety

Baseus’s own engineering blog concedes that magnetic power banks trap heat against the phone and that iPhones respond by throttling or pausing charging when hot, so sustained 15W should not be assumed. In June 2024 Baseus recalled two older 6,000 mAh 20W magnetic models, PPCXM06 and PPCXW06, over a battery overheating and fire hazard, about 132,000 units; the AM41 is not part of that recall. No thermal measurement of this model has been published.

Which model this is

This page covers the PicoGo AM41 10K, the Qi2 15W, 27W-wired variant with the 14.9 mm, 172 g body. The 5,000 mAh AM41 shares the body but runs 7.5W wireless and 20W wired; the newer AM52 and AM61 add 25W wireless and 45W wired; the AM31 is a smaller kickstand model. The recalled 6,000 mAh PPCXM06 and PPCXW06 are unrelated parts.

Is it worth it?

Baseus’s own store lists the AM41 10K at $42.99, down from $69.99, while a sibling card page shows $52.99 against the same $69.99 reference (2026). Macworld reviewed it at $45.99 in June 2025. Under about $40 it is a strong buy for MagSafe iPhone owners who want a slim backup and mostly charge wired or in short wireless top-ups. Above about $60 it loses ground to Baseus’s own AM52 and AM61, which add 25W wireless and 45W wired for similar money.

Running costs are nil beyond the purchase: you need a USB-C PD adapter of at least 20W to recharge the bank, and a replacement cable if the included one is lost. Keeping the magnetic contact surfaces clean matters, since dust weakens the magnetic hold.
