- Electom’s 9,000 mAh sodium ion battery offers higher safety and longevity
- The first mobile sodium ion battery establishes new standards but remains expensive
- Retains a temperature of -35 ° C to 50 ° C in extreme conditions
Electom has introduced the first mobile batteries of sodium ions in the world, the DE-C55L-9000BK and the DE-C55L-9000LGY, with a capacity of 9,000 mAh and prioritize the safety, longevity and sustainability over the traditional alternatives of lithium ions, which makes them a great contender for the best portable energy station.
According to the PC clock (originally in Japanese), the battery presents a USB type C port with 45W output and 30W input, a USB Type-A USB output, admits for the fast-pp / pps fast charging protocols, a low current mode and a simultaneous load function that allows users to load both the electric bank and its devices at the same time, which offer a performance that they rival in those in those in those in those in those in those those in those in those in those in the in the The best laptops for computing throughout the day.
The disadvantage is its most bulky design and its heaviest weight of approximately 350 g, comparable to that of a mobile energy bank with average lithium ions of 20,000 mAh, which can limit its attraction despite its potential to rival batteries in the best smartphones of business.
More expensive and bulky, but safer and last more
The electom sodium ion battery works at extreme temperatures of climates ranging from -35 ° C to 50 ° C, while its design incorporates sustainability through the use of recycled plastic for housing and paper packaging to minimize waste.
This reduces dependence on harmful mining operations and admits sustainable resources management, since its sodium ion battery eliminates the need for rare metals such as cobalt and lithium, unlike traditional lithium -ion batteries.
Currently, the battery is not under the PSE certification of Japan due to the novelty of sodium ion technology, but Electom has performed similar safety tests to guarantee compliance with existing standards.
However, elimination remains a challenge, since it is not yet part of the standard electronic recycling programs, which requires users to communicate with local authorities, the Electom support center or the designated delivery locations.
This new battery offers several advantages over lithium -ion technology, significantly reducing the risk of thermal fugitive, a common security concern, by remaining stable even in extreme conditions and reducing fire or explosions possibilities.
Another key benefit is its useful life, which lasts up to ten times longer than conventional lithium ion cells, with daily use that potentially extends its life to more than a decade, which makes it a lasting solution for users who need reliability.
However, the limited adoption of sodium ion technology makes the battery expensive, with a retail price of 9,980 yen (around $ 67), and even with a limited time discount that reduces it to 8,980 yen ($ 60), remains expensive compared to lithium -based alternatives.
