BMX, a new player in the power bank market, has unveiled its SolidSafe semi-solid state power banks, offering an alternative to traditional battery designs. Founded by Daniel Chin, previously of Sanho, the company aims to enhance portable power solutions.
Unlike true solid-state batteries, BMX’s SolidSafe lineup utilizes a solid-liquid mixed electrolyte, providing durability and improved safety features. These power banks, available in 5,000mAh and 10,000mAh variants starting at $79, claim a lifespan double that of conventional models, potentially offering cost savings in the long run.
The SolidSafe batteries showcase impressive resilience to physical stress, as demonstrated by tests involving drilling, bending, and cutting. Additionally, the 10,000mAh model priced at $129 features a microSD slot, adding versatility to the product range.
Currently sold out on the BMX website, these power banks are set to debut on Amazon in the US next month. While wireless charging is limited to 15W Qi2 MagSafe, the inclusion of 30W USB-C in/out functionality and an integrated USB-C cable enhance the user experience.
