Kuxiu’s solid-state power bank now has more capacity and faster wireless charging

Kuxiu’s solid-state power bank now has more capacity and faster wireless charging

Published by Webster

Seven months after launching its first semi-solid state battery that used a safer and longer-lasting solid-liquid mixed electrolyte, Kuxiu is introducing a new version with some welcome upgrades. The S3 has twice the capacity of the S2 at 10,000mAh – 5,000mAh at 7.7V (38.5Wh) – that the company says is enough to nearly double an iPhone’s battery life, but that will vary depending on the model. The Kuxiu S3 is also Qi2.2-compatible so it can wirelessly charge compatible devices at up to 25W. Its larger battery means it’s over 100g heavier than the 145g S2, but Kuxiu has increased the number of N52 magnets it uses from 16 to 18 to help reduce the risk of the power bank being accidentally knocked off your phone. There’s an integrated kickstand now on the back, a small display showing its remaining capacity and charging status, and a built-in cable for charging other devices through a USB-C port with power delivery rated at up to 35W. As with the previous model, the S3 is more expensive than traditional …

Last August, Kuxiu debuted a MagSafe battery that can do more than just wirelessly charge your phone. The company’s K1 wireless power bank featured a unique design that split and swiveled 90-degrees to reveal a second wireless charger for the Apple Watch or AirPods. Kuxiu’s new K1 Ultra does the exact same thing, but now supports the Qi2.2 standard so compatible smartphones like the Pixel 10 Pro XL and iPhone 16 and 17 series will charge at faster 25W rates. The Kuxiu K1 Ultra is only available in a 10,000mAh version (the original K1 also had a 5,000mAh option) discounted from $99.99 to $79.99 when purchased through the company’s online store. At 256.5 grams it’s about 24 grams heavier than the iPhone 17 Pro Max, and at over 0.85 inches thick it’s definitely going to add a bit of bulk to the back of your device. While its wireless phone charging speeds have improved, the Apple Watch and AirPods will still charge much slower at 5W. If you’ve recently upgraded to the latest Pro version …

Solid-state batteries are the future. They’re more powerful, compact, safe, and sustainable than Lithium-ion alternatives, but true all-solid state batteries can’t be mass-produced cost-effectively. That’s why Kuxiu has gone semi-solid state for what it calls the “world’s safest” power bank, while calling dibs on it being a world first. Kuxiu’s $79.99 S2 Qi2 5000mAh MagSafe Solid-State Power Bank supports Qi2 for 15W wireless charging. And with a 5,000mAh (19Wh) capacity, it holds enough energy to easily charge the latest iPhone 16 models — with batteries ranging from 3,561mAh to 4,685mAh — from zero to full at least once. And despite using the truncated “solid state” in the S2 name and product page, the company confirmed to me that it’s built around a semi-solid state battery and that distinction matters. I’ve been carrying the Kuxiu S2 for the past few weeks. While I didn’t hammer, pierce, or tear the battery apart or expose it to fire like Kuxiu did, I can at least confirm that it otherwise works as expected. “Solid state” ambiguity It’s not just …
