Belkin now offers two new semi solid state batteries for your iPhone. There is a 10,000mAh offering with a USB-C port for charging. The second is a 5,000mAh MagSafe offering, which offers 15W Qi2 charging. Both come in much lighter than you’d expect, and both offer premium aluminum builds that are cool to the touch.
10K
When you pick up this solid state battery bank, you will notice that it is so much lighter than you would traditionally expect compared to other batteries of its capacity. For example, this battery comes in at 220g, compared to older 10K batteries that weigh between 240 and 300g.
As I mentioned earlier, it also has a nice aluminum build. This thing feels premium, and because of the shape of it, it’s very pocketable.
There is not much more to write about a battery bank, but it offers up to 60W charging, and comes with a smart display that shows your battery percentage. It is available for $89.95 on Amazon.
5K MagSafe
If you want a thin, MagSafe battery – this is the one. I’m tempted to say that this takes the cake for my favorite MagSafe battery for iPhone, just because it’s so light and incredibly thin. Granted, this battery bank doesn’t have bells and whistles like a kickstand or smart display – but it gets the job done really well.
It’s also worth noting that if you buy an iPhone Duo, this will stick out slightly from the bottom of the phone. That will be an issue with almost every MagSafe accessory made for iPhone Duo. It wouldn’t surprise me if we see some iPhone Duo-designed MagSafe batteries at CES next year.
You can buy one of these on Amazon for $69.99.
