Semi Solid-State Batteries

Belkin Pairs Aluminum Shells with Lighter IPhone Packs

Belkin is expanding iPhone charging with two semi solid-state batteries built to cut carry weight without losing everyday utility, and both use aluminum housings. The pair includes a 10,000mAh USB-C battery bank and a slimmer magnetic model for iPhone users who want snap-on charging.

The larger pack comes in at 220g and can deliver up to 60W, while its aluminum body and battery display keep it easy to slip into a pocket and easy to check. The smaller version supports 15W Qi2 charging through a MagSafe mount, and both models are available on Amazon.

Pricing at $89.95 and $69.99 moves these packs closer to routine accessory buys than specialty backup gear. The lighter semi solid-state build widens the audience to iPhone users who skip bulkier battery banks during everyday carry.
