Belkin introduces its first semi-solid-state USB-C power banks, using battery technology it says is engineered to last up to three times longer than other power banks. The company describes the design as adding a “gel-like layer” alongside the liquid electrolyte typically used in conventional lithium-ion cells.

Both outlets report that the new product line targets improved battery longevity through the semi-solid-state (“semi-solid-state” or “BoostSolid” cell) approach. The technology uses a modified electrolyte structure intended to improve the way the battery holds up over repeated charging cycles. While details about pricing, capacity options, and release timing are not covered in the provided excerpts, the shared focus is on the claimed lifespan advantage and the gel-like element in the battery design.

The reporting largely aligns on the core claims: this is Belkin’s first entry into semi-solid-state power banks, and the company’s marketing emphasizes a up-to-3x longevity improvement versus other power banks.
