I tested a solid-state portable battery for a week - now lithium-ion feels outdated
"This 5,000mAh/19Wh wireless charging power bank is perfectly designed to fit the iPhone. It measures 4.0 x 2.7 x 0.4 in/102.7 x 68 x 11 mm and weighs 4.8 oz/137 g. The magnetic wireless charger is built to Qi2 standards, which means that it can output up to 15W of power for a fast charge. The magnets are also strong enough to securely hold the charger to the phone when in use."
"There's also a single USB-C port that handles charging (maximum output of up to 20W, maximum input of up to 15W), and it can run alongside the wireless charging pad at up to 15W. The power bank also supports pass-through charging, so it can be charged via USB-C while it's wirelessly charging a phone. I like this feature because I can use a single-outlet charger when traveling light to charge both my iPhone and my power bank overnight."
Solid-state cells replace flammable liquid electrolytes with a non-flammable solid, improving safety over lithium-ion cells that can catch fire if provoked. The SolidSafe 5K offers 5,000mAh/19Wh capacity in a compact package tailored to iPhone dimensions (102.7 x 68 x 11 mm, 137 g). The magnetic wireless pad meets Qi2 and provides up to 15W with strong magnets to hold the phone. A USB-C port delivers up to 20W output and up to 15W input and can run alongside wireless charging at up to 15W. Pass-through charging allows simultaneous charging of the bank and phone. A button-activated color display shows power level and charging/discharging power. A lanyard doubles as a USB-C-to-USB-C cable. The SolidSafe 5K is part of a broader ecosystem.
