Practical: Belkin’s new semi-solid batteries allow for much lighter transport

Belkin now offers two new semi-solid-state batteries for your iPhone. There is one 10,000 mAh supply with a USB-C port for charging. The second is a 5,000 mAh MagSafe dealwhich offers 15W Qi2 charging. Both are much lighter than expected and both feature premium, cool-to-the-touch aluminum builds.

10K

When you get this back solid state battery bankyou’ll notice that it feels much lighter than you’d traditionally expect compared to other batteries of its capacity. For example, this battery weighs 220g, compared to older 10K batteries which weigh between 240 and 300g.

As I mentioned earlier, it also features a nice aluminum build. This thing feels premium, and because of its shape, it fits very well in a pocket.

There’s not much else to write about as a battery bank, but it offers up to 60W of charging and comes with a smart display that will show your battery percentage. It is available for $89.95 at Amazon.

5K MagSafe

If you want a thin one, MagSafe battery – that’s the one. I’m tempted to say that this one takes the cake for my favorite MagSafe battery for iPhone, simply because it’s very light and incredibly thin. Granted, this battery bank doesn’t have features like a kickstand or smart display, but it does the job just fine.

It’s also worth noting that if you buy an iPhone Duo, it will protrude slightly from the bottom of the phone. This will be a problem with just about any MagSafe accessory made for the iPhone Duo. It wouldn’t surprise me if by next year’s CES we see MagSafe batteries designed for the iPhone Duo.

You can grab one at Amazon for $69.99.
