The majority of power banks out there are powered by lithium-ion batteries, but occasionally you do come across super cheap power banks that basically hide regular batteries inside the shell. However, the folks at BMX (not to be confused with the bicycle) have released new SolidSafe power banks that are made using semi-solid-state batteries.
BMX launches new SolidSafe power banks
BMX has three new SolidSafe power bank models on Amazon right now. This includes the SolidSafe Air 5K, SolidSafe 5K, and SolidSafe 10K. Prices start at $59.99, which puts them in the same ballpark as other power banks from competing brands.
The BMX SolidSafe Air is the standout of the bunch. Unveiled it at CES 2026, its selling point is that it measures 6.8mm at its thinnest point. That’s incredibly slim for a 5,000mAh Qi2 power bank. It supports 15W Qi2 magnetic wireless charging and 20W USB-C wired output, all in a titanium-reinforced body. It also meets international airline carry-on limits.
The SolidSafe 5K and 10K are chunkier but come with more features. Both have Qi2 15W magnetic wireless charging and up to 30W USB-C fast charging, plus a full-color LCD display and a built-in USB-C lanyard cable. The 10K also comes in a version with a microSD slot. All models are available in black, orange, blue, and silver.
So What’s a Semi-Solid-State Battery?
Regular lithium-ion batteries rely on liquid electrolytes inside the cell. That liquid is partly what makes them prone to swelling, overheating, or catching fire when something goes wrong. Semi-solid-state batteries swap most of that liquid out for a more stable, mostly solid material. The result is a battery that handles heat and physical stress a lot better.
But does it live up to its claims? Well, BMX has put its batteries through the ringer. The company runs the SolidSafe power banks through some pretty aggressive testing. We’re talking about drilling, cutting, and nail puncture. We’ve been watching solid-state battery tech work its way into consumer products for a while, and the SolidSafe power banks are one of the few options available out there.
