Power bank technology is in a transition phase, with newer developments promising better safety and more capacity in smaller form factors. Australian brand Laser drew attention to Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO₄) as an alternative last year. Now it’s getting in on the semi-solid-state battery trend with a new range of ChargeCore power banks.
Starting at $49.95 for a 10,000mAh model, the latest ChargeCore Everyday power banks are Laser’s first to use semi-solid-state battery technology. It’s a technology designed to improve energy density, squeezing more capacity into devices that use it. From a safety perspective, semi-solid-state batteries also use a more gel-like chemistry, which reportedly also improves battery safety.
“We’ve been closely following semi-solid-state battery development for some time, since first visiting an EV factory several years ago, and advancements since that time mean that it can now move into smaller, more compact options,” said Chris Lau, Laser CEO. “Simply put, I believe that semi-solid-state chemistry makes this the safest power bank technology available in Australia today.”
In addition to the 10,000mAh power bank, Laser also launched 20,000mAh ($69.95) and 27,000mAh ($99.95) models, the latter of which supports up to 35W USB-C PD charging, while the two cheapest variants support up to 20W charging speeds.
Each power bank includes a digital display showing the power bank’s current charge level. All models in the range come with two USB-A ports and one USB-C port.
Laser’s semi-solid-state ChargeCore range is now available in Australia via Harvey Norman and Laser’s online store. At this stage, black is the only colour available for purchase, but other colours are coming soon. Laser also plans to launch more power banks in the range, including models with magnetic charging and waterproof designs.
