Seven months aft launching its first semi-solid authorities battery that utilized a safer and longer-lasting solid-liquid mixed electrolyte, Kuxiu is introducing a caller type pinch immoderate invited upgrades. The S3 has doubly nan capacity of nan S2 astatine 10,000mAh – 5,000mAh astatine 7.7V (38.5Wh) – that nan institution says is capable to astir double an iPhone’s artillery life, but that will alteration depending connected nan model.

The Kuxiu S3 is besides Qi2.2-compatible truthful it tin wirelessly complaint compatible devices astatine up to 25W. Its larger artillery intends it’s complete 100g heavier than nan 145g S2, but Kuxiu has accrued nan number of N52 magnets it uses from 16 to 18 to thief trim nan consequence of nan powerfulness slope being accidentally knocked disconnected your phone. There’s an integrated kickstand now connected nan back, a mini show showing its remaining capacity and charging status, and a built-in cablegram for charging different devices done a USB-C larboard pinch powerfulness transportation rated astatine up to 35W.

As pinch nan erstwhile model, nan S3 is much costly than accepted wireless powerfulness banks offering akin capacity, charging rates, and features, but nan costs of nan exertion should driblet complete clip arsenic manufacturing improves and increases. It’s disposable now for $149.98, but temporarily discounted to $68.99. If that seems difficult to stomach, retrieve that while nan capacity of astir powerfulness banks will commencement to degrade aft 300 to 500 cycles, nan S3 should only spot a driblet to astir 80 percent capacity aft 1,000 charging cycles. It will person a overmuch longer lifespan, and is little astatine consequence from issues for illustration occurrence and thermal runaway should you accidentally driblet it.
