Belkin introduces its first longer-lasting semi-solid-state power banks

New Semi‑Solid‑State Power Banks

Belkin is joining companies like BMX, Kuxiu, and Zens with the launch of its first power banks featuring semi‑solid‑state battery technology. The company claims the new accessories have been “engineered to last up to 3x longer than other power banks” with the addition of a “gel-like layer” alongside the liquid electrolyte typically found in lithium‑ion batteries.

Belkin introduces its first longer‑lasting semi‑solid‑state power banks. The company says its new power banks will last up to three times longer before they need to be replaced. The company says its new power banks will last up to three times longer before they need to be replaced.

BoostSolid Cell Technology

Other advantages of what Belkin is calling its BoostSolid Cell technology include:

• A reduced risk of overheating that could cause swelling or fires.
• Consistent power delivery across a wider temperature range.

They’re more expensive than power banks with comparable specs, but a longer functional lifespan should outweigh the premium pricing.
