The Baseus PicoGo 45W charger has officially launched and is competing directly with the Anker Nano II. However, there are certain features that make the Anker option more appealing. One notable advantage is that the Nano II includes a foldable plug, which enhances its portability.
Compact Design but Lacking Foldability
While the PicoGo 45W power adapter boasts a compact design, it does not feature a foldable plug. In addition, the Anker Nano II has a price edge; it typically retails for $23.99 (currently $19.99 on Amazon), while Baseus's new product is priced at $25.99.
Advanced Technology in Charging
Despite this, the PicoGo 45W presents some advantages of its own. It incorporates GaN 6 technology, whereas the Nano II uses GaN 2. Baseus claims that this latest technology improves efficiency, achieving an energy conversion rate of 93%.
Versatile Charging Standards
Another key feature of the Baseus PicoGo 45W charger is its compatibility with multiple charging standards, including PD 3.0, QC 3.0, PPS, FCP, AFC, and SCP. Although Anker provides limited details on the protocols supported by the Nano II, it does confirm compatibility with PPS.
Safety Features and Cooling System
Baseus also emphasizes the safety features of the PicoGo 45W fast charger. The company states that the adapter monitors the charging status 720,000 times every hour, ensuring safe and stable charging experiences. Additionally, it includes a dual heat dissipation cooling system to manage temperature effectively.
