The batteries of the solid state are the future. They are far more powerful, compact, safe and durable than lithium -ion alternatives, but true All-Sweded estate batteries cannot be effectively costly. The same Cucumber Has gone SemiFor this, the Solid State, called the “safest” Power Bank, is called the DIBS as the first world.
Coxyu’s. 79.99 S2 Qi2 5000mah Magsafe Solid-State Power Bank 15W supports QI2 for wireless charging. And with the capacity of 5,000 MAH (19 WH), it has enough energy to easily charge the latest models of the iPhone 16 – batteries ranging from 3,561mAh to 4,685mah – at least once. And despite the use of a cut “solid state” in the S2 name and product page, the company confirmed to me that it was built around the battery of the semi -solid state and that the difference makes the difference.
I’ve been taking Cocco S2 for the past few weeks. When I did not tear hammer, pears, or battery or set it on fire like a cocco, I can at least confirm that it works as expected otherwise.
“Solid state” confusion
These are not just you, the battery industry itself cannot agree with what is qualified as a solid state battery. Here is the all -solid state, semi -solid state, and semi -solid state to name some of the only popular terms. All solid state is the place where the hype is and it is a future liquid -free battery. But there will potentially require some steps to get there on a scale.
Solid state batteries use solid electrolyte-the ingredient that is responsible for the transfer of power charged particles between the two terminals-but the amount of liquid is different. If the amount of liquid electrolyte is between 5 and 10 % of the active part of the battery, then it is generally classified as a semi -solid condition. Less than 5 % and it is a semi -solid state. 0 %, you guessed: All solid state. The battery within the cocco S2 contains a solid liquid mixed electrolyte that forms a consistency like a gel, which is visible in the video. Therefore, according to the company, the semi -solid state fits the definition.
So why “Battery Type: Lee Polymer Battery” is listed in fine print on the label sealed on the S2 Power Bank of Koxo? Lipo batteries have been in power banks for years, and relatively short -lived short age and low energy density – on the contrary, Kokoi has claimed for the new S2. It turns out that solid electrolyte inside solid state batteries can be made from different materials such as ceramics and yes, Polymer. So Kuxu’s claim is probably true, S2 is a Lee polymer battery that is also a solid state battery, or semi -solid state is precise. Therefore, the company says it can be the world’s first power bank to use a solid state battery.
For comparisons, the lithium -ion battery found in the electric bank, which is located around you, contains more than 25WT % liquid, which poses a higher risk of leakage, thermal running and fire than S2. But the Kuxo Power Bank does not benefit from every benefit of going into solid state-such as high energy density and maximum safety states achieved with batteries-but this is a step in the right direction. In particular, Coxio can produce S2 on a large scale using many existing manufacturing processes today to help keep the costs low.
Companies like The spleen will tell you That a typical 5,000 MAH Power Bank usually begins to harass after 300-500 charging cycles. At this time, its original capacity will be only 60 to 80 percent. Coxyu tells me that S2’s capacity is good for 1,000 charging cycles before falling up to 80 %. Therefore, when comparable to companies like the sprouting or eczema, the liquid -based power bank costs about 60 % more, before you see a remarkable degradation, two times long before you see a degradation.
The energy density is another benefit to the semi -solid state battery within the S2. Cocco claims 360Wh/kg compared to 300Wh/kg for liquid cells. The S2 is certainly compact and lightweight at 10.4 x 6.7 x 1.0cm / 145g, which makes it more portable than a direct competitor of the Eco Flu, which measures 10.8 x 7.0 x 1.44cm / 180g. But 5,000 MA of Power Bank of Eco Flu It also includes a kick stand and 30W wired wired charging. The sprout, however, takes the 5K power bank measure 10.2 x 7.0 x 0.9 cm / 120 grams to the S2 in weight and weight. But it is likely to decorate batteries more about the materials used to protect and protect them.
As a Magsafi, as a Q2 Power Bank, Coxyo S2 automatically starts charging as soon as its 16 N52 Magnets seized my iPhone 15 Pro. They are strong and maintain the bond until I slip the combo into a loose pocket or bag. Nevertheless, they are not safe from well -kept collision that can send the battery to the floor. This may cause the Sandwich’s trouble between the two sheets of the Corning Gorilla Glass for Aluminum S2, each is saved by the “explosion film”. Three weeks after dealing with carelessness, my S2 review unit is a small but notable point on the shell, but otherwise it looks new.
Sadly, at the bottom of the battery, my iPhone 15 goes beyond the Pro so that the balance can be disturbed when I make it a pair of iPhones according to Apple’s large Q2, I enjoy it. At least the cameras are unclear. I could also do all the exterior of the unit without sunglasses. The Power Bank works with or without a megasafi case on my iPhone, but this case causes the S2 to be a bit warm (makes it less efficient) can help remove the gap.
The bottom of the S2 has the features of the USB-C port Throw, so you can charge the power bank and magnetically connected iPhone or air pods at the same time. Charging the S2 solo from my MacBook’s Wall Charger, the power bank slowly slowed down from zero to 90 minutes.
The Power Bank can also receive non-Q2 devices with its bilateral USB-C port. It is useful for devices like Over The Air Headphones and Android phones up to 20Ws. S2 also proved to be able to top my bee’s 14 -inch MacBook Pro, although very, Lot Slowly
The double tape on the bottom of the edge with the bottom edge puts the power bank in a low current mode. In this way, S2 can charge small devices such as smart colors and wireless airbids, while electricity is more designed by the automatic shut -off mechanism of designed devices. Watchy, but not unique for S2.
I wish Coxyu like many of his rivals put a kick stand on the S2. At least it’s available in both black and titanium colors to better match your phone.

Putting aside the misleading battery marketing, I am very impressed with the “solid state” power bank in the Kuxo S2 Qi2 Qi2 Qi2 5000mah Magsafe, in which it has done and what it promises. Yes, using traditional liquid electrolytes is more expensive than specific power banks, but the battery of the S2 solid state of S2 should be more secure and cheap than competitors in its long life.
