This groundbreaking battery—packing a capacity of 9,000mAh—delivers cutting-edge performance and eco-conscious design. Supporting USB Power Delivery and PPS standards, it features a USB Type-C™ port capable of 45W output, making it suitable for charging a wide range of devices, from iPhones to laptops.

Why Sodium-Ion?

Unlike conventional lithium-ion batteries that rely on rare metals like cobalt and lithium, sodium-ion batteries represent a sustainable alternative. Mining these rare metals often raises ethical concerns and environmental risks.

By using readily available sodium instead, this battery ensures a more stable supply chain, minimizes ecological impact and enhances safety for both people and the environment.

Extreme Durability Across Climates: Capable of operating between -35℃ and 50℃, this battery performs reliably even in extreme environments, such as snowy mountains or scorching deserts.

Unmatched Safety Standards: Unlike lithium-ion batteries, which risk thermal runaway and potential fire hazards, sodium-ion batteries are designed to prevent such issues. This model includes advanced safety features such as thermal protection and five-layer safety functions, including overcharge and short circuit prevention.

Extended Lifespan: This sodium-ion battery is built to last. Its cycle life is approximately 5,000 uses—10 times that of standard lithium-ion batteries. A single charge can power a 1,800mAh smartphone nearly three times and a 3,000mAh device almost twice.

Specifications:

This mobile battery is compatible with iPhones, smartphones, tablets, and other small electronic devices that can be charged via a USB port. It features a USB Type-C™ port for power input and supports rated input voltages of 5V, 9V, 12V, 15V, and 20V, with input currents of 3A, 3A, 2.5A, 2A, and 1.5A, depending on the voltage.

The battery is a rechargeable sodium-ion type with a rated capacity 3.0V/3,000mAh x 3. Charging the battery takes approximately 2 hours when charging only the central unit, though this time may vary if a mobile device is connected during charging. The battery dimensions are 87mm in width, 31mm in depth, and 106mm in height, and it weighs approximately 350g.

It boasts a lifespan of up to 5,000 uses and comes with a USB Type-C to USB Type-C cable (0.1m) as an accessory. The device operates within a temperature range of -35℃ to 50℃ during discharging and 0℃ to 40℃ during charging. It includes a one-year warranty for added peace of mind.

Redefining Mobile Power

By combining sustainability, reliability, and innovation, ELECOM’s sodium-ion battery sets a new benchmark in mobile charging solutions. Its eco-friendly composition, long lifespan, and adaptability to harsh climates position it as a game-changer in an era of increasing environmental consciousness.

ELECOM’s latest advancement reflects its commitment to pioneering technology that meets modern challenges while preserving the planet. With this launch, the company invites consumers to embrace a more sustainable and efficient future in mobile energy.
