Whether it’s summer road trips or a longer vacation, there’s nothing quite as frustrating as when your phone runs low on battery on the go. And if you’re like me, the coming months will bring a lot of on-the-go time. I’ve purchased numerous power banks over the years, and I’m about to buy another. Thanks to some excellent Memorial Day savings, the Baseus Picogo three-output portable charger is down to $28, a $12 savings on the regular $40 price. To get the discount, clip the Amazon on-page coupon code 7MPTB3RR.
While having any kind of portable power bank is handy, the Baseus Picogo has a few features that make it extra appealing. It has a 45-watt output, which charges devices rapidly. (An iPhone 15 Pro can go from nothing to 57% in just 30 minutes.) When fully charged, the bank provides enough power to charge two cellphones to nearly 100% without requiring a recharge.
It also takes only about two hours to recharge to full battery, which is perfect for that mid-afternoon power nap in your hotel room before you head out for more adventures. The device is also available in three colors (white, gray and black) and is basically palm-sized (3.47 inches by 2.35 inches by 1.06 inches).
One of the features I really appreciate is that the power bank can charge up to three devices simultaneously, including earbuds. And because it’s compatible with both Apple and Android devices, you can charge your friend’s phone at the same time as yours. It also has a built-in USB-C cable to recharge the power bank without the need for an additional cable. I’m also a fan of the LED digital display that shows the remaining battery power.
