[1]From Android Authority :
> Singapore-based BMX has announced that its SolidSafe magnetic power bank lineup, first showcased at CES 2026, is now available for purchase through [2]its website and Amazon US, with [3]prices starting at $59 . What sets these power banks apart is their use of semi-solid-state batteries. Traditional lithium-ion and [4]lithium-polymer batteries rely on liquid electrolytes to move energy between electrodes. Semi-solid-state batteries significantly reduce the amount of flammable liquid inside the cell, improving thermal stability and lowering the risk of overheating, swelling, or fire...

> BMX says the power banks are designed to remain stable under extreme conditions and show greater resistance to physical damage and thermal stress than conventional battery packs. The company has also launched the SolidSafe Air, a 5,000mAh magnetic power bank that it claims is the world's thinnest semi-solid-state Qi2 power bank... BMX is positioning the device as a travel-friendly alternative for users who want added safety and the convenience of a magnetic battery pack without the bulk.

I hope the BMX comes with wheel pegs and monster claw pedals!

Solid state is finally going mainstream, I like it!

i fucking hate lithium-ion batteries.
every device now has one. phone? battery. headphones? battery. keyboard? battery. flashlight? battery. vape? battery. random piece of shit from amazon that should have taken two aa batteries? somehow also battery.
and every one of them comes with an entire list of things you're not supposed to do if you don't want it catching fire.
don't puncture it. don't crush it. don't bend it. don't overcharge it. don't leave it in the heat. don't use a damaged charger. do

The thing that amazes me is that we haven't seen any plane crashes. Looking at a video of thermal runaway of even a small battery, I absolutely don't want that happening on a plane.
And there aren't even any hard limits to what you can put in checked luggage, as far as I can tell. Only guidelines.

There have been plane crashes or emergency landings due to lithium battery fires. That's why the rules about safe transport of lithium batteries were introduced.

The whole selling point of solid-electrolyte lithium batteries is that the don't burst into flames if used wrong.

It's not solid-state, it's pseudo-solid-state, also known as marketing-solid-state.
Unfortunately the web site doesn't specify which of the pseudo-solid-state technologies it uses.
