Belkin's new power banks promise triple lifespan with semi-solid-state cells

Belkin has launched two power banks featuring semi-solid-state battery technology, claiming they last up to three times longer than conventional models. The design incorporates a gel-like layer alongside the liquid electrolyte to reduce overheating and maintain consistent output across temperature ranges. The smaller 5,000mAh magnetic model costs $69.99, with a larger option also available.

The smaller UltraCharge Pro Slim Magnetic model delivers up to 15W wirelessly via Qi2 and 22.5W through USB-C, though simultaneous charging drops output to 5W wireless and 12W wired. The larger UltraCharge Pro 10K offers 60W peak output across two USB-C ports and one USB-A port, and includes a display monitoring charge level, output, and internal temperature.
Belkin joins BMX, Kuxiu, and Zens in adopting semi-solid-state cells, which the company says improve energy
