- Electrous 9,000 mAh sodium-ion battery offers superior security and long life
- The first sodium-ion mobile battery sets new standards but remains expensive
- Preserves the temperature of -35 ° C to 50 ° C under extreme conditions
Elecom has introduced the world’s first sodium-ion mobile batteries, DE-C55L-9000BK and DE-C55L-9000LGY, with a 9,000 mAh capacity and prioritized security, lifetime and sustainability in relation to traditional lithium-ion alternatives, making them a strong challenger to the best portable power station.
Per PC Watch (originally in Japanese), the battery has a USB Type-C port with 45W output and 30W input, an 18W USB-type-A output, support for USB PD / PPS FAST LACING PROTOCOLS, A LOW power mode, and a simultaneous charging function that allows users to charge both Power Bank and their devices at the same time, who rival them in the rival rivals in rival them in it rival in rival in rival in they rival in the rival rival in rival in they rival them in it in they Best laptops for the whole day computing.
The disadvantage is its bulky design and heavier weight of about 350 g, comparable to the average of 20,000 mAh lithium-ion mobile powerbank, which can limit its appeal despite its potential to compete with the batteries in the best business mounted.
More expensive and bulkers – but safer and lasts longer
Elecom’s sodium-ion battery works in extreme climatic temperatures ranging from -35 ° C to 50 ° C, while its design incorporates sustainability using recycled plastic to the cabinet and paper-based packaging to minimize the waste.
This reduces the dependence on environmentally harmful mining and supports sustainable resource management as its sodium-ion battery eliminates the need for rare metals such as cobalt and lithium, as opposed to traditional lithium-ion batteries.
Currently, the battery does not fall under Japan’s PSE certification due to the news of sodium-ion technology, but ELECOM has performed similar security tests to ensure compliance with existing standards.
However, disposal is still a challenge as it is not yet part of standard electronic recycling programs that require users to contact local authorities, ELECOMS Support Center or designated delivery places.
This new battery offers several advantages over lithium-ion technology, reducing the risk of thermal running, a common security problem, by remaining stable even under extreme conditions and lowering the chances of fires or explosions.
Another important benefit is its lifetime that lasts up to ten times longer than conventional lithium-ion cells, with daily use that potentially extend its lifetime to over a decade, making it a sustainable solution for users who need reliability.
Nevertheless, the limited adoption of sodium-ion technology battery is expensive with a retail price of 9,980 yen (about $ 67), and even with a limited time discount lowering it to 8,980 yen ($ 60), it remains expensive compared to lithium-based alternatives.
