Credit: BMXTL;DRThe semi-solid-state battery-powered magnetic power banks first shown at CES 2026 are now available to buy, starting at $59.Unlike traditional power banks, they use battery cells with significantly less flammable liquid electrolyte to improve thermal stability and reduce fire risk.The lineup also includes what BMX calls the world’s thinnest 5,000mAh Qi2 magnetic power bank, measuring just 6.8mm at its thinnest point.Power banks haven’t really changed much in recent years. Sure, we have faster, thinner, and more feature-packed power banks these days, but most of them still rely on the same lithium-ion batteries that have been around for years. Now, a company is betting that the next major upgrade isn’t charging speed or capacity, but the battery chemistry itself.
