BMX Unveils Semi-Solid State MagSafe Power Banks
Apple users tired of risky, short-lived power banks now have a new option. BMX, a startup from accessory veteran Daniel Chin, has launched its SolidSafe semi-solid state MagSafe power banks. Promising longer life and enhanced safety, these batteries aim to address the recalls and safety concerns plaguing traditional lithium-ion power banks in 2025.
Safer Batteries Without Compromising Performance
Unlike typical lithium-ion batteries, BMX’s SolidSafe line uses a semi-solid electrolyte—a hybrid of solid and liquid—that dramatically reduces the risk of thermal runaway. While not truly “solid-state,” this technology delivers superior durability, resisting damage from drilling, bending, or cutting. For travelers and daily users alike, this means a safer charging experience without sacrificing performance.
Longevity That Justifies the Price
BMX claims its power banks last more than twice as long as conventional models. With prices starting at $79 for the 5,000mAh version, and $129 for a 10,000mAh model featuring a microSD slot supporting up to 512GB, these devices may cost more upfront but promise better long-term value. Users benefit from fewer replacements, longer battery life, and peace of mind.
MagSafe Compatibility and Limitations
All BMX SolidSafe models support MagSafe wireless charging, making them a natural companion for iPhone users. However, they are limited to 15W Qi2 charging rather than the newer Qi2.2 standard. While this may disappoint power users seeking the fastest wireless speeds, the trade-off comes with enhanced safety and reliability—a priority for frequent travelers.
Design and Color Options
BMX has added a touch of personality to its power banks, offering models in Apple’s signature orange along with more understated color choices. Compact and portable, the SolidSafe series balances style with practicality, appealing to tech enthusiasts who value both aesthetics and functionality.
Founder’s Vision and Legacy
Daniel Chin, known for creating Hyper-branded batteries under Sanho, spearheads BMX. Following the sale of Sanho to Targus in 2021, Chin has returned with a focus on safer, longer-lasting battery technology. BMX reflects his commitment to delivering high-quality, Apple-friendly accessories that stand out in a crowded market.
Competing with Other Semi-Solid Batteries
BMX enters a growing semi-solid battery market alongside brands like Kuxiu. Both emphasize safety and longevity while remaining compatible with existing manufacturing processes. BMX differentiates itself with MagSafe integration, durability, and a focus on user-friendly design, giving Apple users a compelling alternative to conventional power banks.
Availability and Final Thoughts
BMX’s SolidSafe MagSafe power banks are now available to the public through the company’s website and select retailers. With semi-solid technology, attractive design, and Apple compatibility, these batteries offer a safer, longer-lasting solution for users frustrated with the risks and limitations of traditional lithium-ion power banks.
