My favorite Qi2 power bank is cheaper than ever for Verge readers


I recently published a buying guide on the best Qi2 power banks. Out of seven feature-packed batteries, I really dug the Baseus AM52 10,000mAh power bank that has a built-in USB-C cable. It’s fast at Qi2.2 wireless charging for iPhones, and it’s quick with wired charging, too. And now, it’s an unbeatable value thanks to a new exclusive deal. Verge readers can use the offer code THEVERGECODE at Amazon to get one for $42.99 (usually $20 more for Prime members, or $80 outside of a deal).

The AM52 is far from the only choice that iPhone users have when it comes to a MagSafe-compatible power bank. In addition to its charging merits, the Baseus model is easy to recommend for those who don’t use a case. It’s the only model I tried that has a soft-touch material where it connects magnetically, nixing the possibility of scratching your iPhone.

As you’ll see if you read through the buying guide, other power banks with similar specs are just as fast at charging gadgets. Some are faster, particularly when it comes to wired charging (I used a USB-C power meter to verify speeds). However, what the AM52 lacks that some of its competitors have — a cooling fan, a kickstand, a display for charging remaining — isn’t as much of an issue with a big discount.
