Kuxiu, known for its semi-solid state battery technology, has announced the latest iteration of its power bank lineup. The new S3 model boasts a significant capacity increase, doubling the previous version to 10,000mAh, promising extended usage for popular devices like the iPhone. Additionally, the S3 is Qi2.2-compatible, enabling wireless charging at speeds of up to 25W.

It features a built-in kickstand, a convenient display for monitoring charging status, and a USB-C port with 35W power delivery capability. The power bank’s durability and longevity are highlighted by its ability to maintain about 80% capacity after 1,000 charging cycles, surpassing traditional alternatives.
Priced at $149.98, with a current discount to $68.99, the Kuxiu S3 reflects the ongoing advancements in battery technology. While the initial cost may be higher than conventional options, the benefits in terms of performance and safety are substantial.
