When acquiring a PowerBankwhether magnetic (similar to the Magsafe of Apple), or common, we never look at its composition, and we believe they are all the same, going to the one that has the most or capacity, without providing important details such as its manufacture.
Today we will see the Difference between solid state batteries, and the commonsthat is, those of Lithium, which although they have served us for many years, will begin to become fashionable in favor of these others, which have more advantages than you think.
Lithium battery vs. solid state
At first glance, you will not be able to differentiate these, because, externally, they are even equal, however, the important thing resides inside, since its material and composition will make the difference.
| Feature | Liquid Lithium (LI-ION) | Solid state lithium |
|---|---|---|
| Electrolyte | Liquid | Solid |
| Security | Risk of leaks, fire or explosion | Much safer, not flammable |
| Energy density | High | Very high |
| Size and weight | Bigger and heavy | More compact and light |
| Durability (load cycles) | Average (500–1000 cycles) | High (more than 1000 cycles) |
| Operational temperature | Limited range | Better tolerance to cold and heat |
| Cost | Cheaper | More expensive |
| Availability | Very common | Still scarce |
| Load speed | Good | Potentially better |
As we can see, the difference are quite interesting, especially since those of solid state win in all aspects, except in the price, which means that, when choosing one of them, there will be no doubt.
Currently, they are not so common, although we can see many already in Amazon and other pages. These, despite having a somewhat larger cost, are profitable, since one of their advantages is that after temperature high, they will not take those degrees that do the common ones, thus improving both the useful life and the speed and stability In the load.
In addition, they are lighter and safe, since They are not flammablewhile those of common lithium, we have seen how they even explode, so you have to be more careful with them, since, despite not being common, it is another risk to consider.
In short, if you are thinking of getting a new PowerBank, taking a look at a solid state, instead of liquid, it could offer you many advantages, and although they are more expensive, we are not talking about a brutal difference, so you can surely allow it.
And you, are you one of those who prefer something cheaper even if he warms up, loses his capacity, or even spoils soon? Or, on the contrary, don't you mind paying more if you get extra quality for a product, hearing more years and getting to take advantage of him? Leave us a comment with your opinion, and if you have ever had one, if you have really noticed that difference.
