When you think a bit of technology isn’t going to evolve anymore, someone finds a way to change it up. For standard wired power banks, there’s not much else that can change, as they’re already pushing the limits of battery capacities.
However, the team behind a new power bank called the SuperMini actually found a way to squeeze a 10,000mAh battery into a package that’s smaller than other ones out there. That means you’ll get a high capacity in a package that’s about the size of a credit card (albeit quite a bit thicker than one).
SuperMini Power Bank Features
The main thing that makes SuperMini stand out is its physical size. It’s 3.1-inches long, 2.2-inches wide, and 1-inch deep. In addition to being quite small, it’s also pretty light, tipping the scales at 6.35oz. It’s about an inch smaller than typical 10,000mAh power banks on the market in terms of length, which makes it quite a bit easier to carry around in a pocket.
As far as outputs, there’s both USB-C and USB-A, and both feature 18W of power delivery. In about 30 minutes, the battery pack can charge an iPhone XS to about 50%, which is pretty solid. Additionally, the battery itself will reach a full charge in about three hours, so you won’t have to wait too long to get it back on the go.
That 10,000mAh capacity will get you about 2.8 iPhone XS charges, .8 iPad Pro charges, 2.5 Galaxy S9 charges, and 1.7 Nintendo Switch charges.
SuperMini Price and Availability
The team behind SuperMini is seeking funding on Indiegogo. Backers who want to preorder a power bank can do so for a minimum pledge of $ 34. When the chargers hit the market, the team plans to have a retail price of $ 79, so it’s quite a bit cheaper. Of course, you’re shouldering a bit of risk when backing a crowdfunding project, so that’s the tradeoff for getting the power bank at a lower price.
