A power bank is just that. You make a deposit (often taking up to 10 long hours) and withdraw some of that to charge a device. The Graphene Polymer power bank is very different.
For starters, a 10,000 mAh Li-ion battery in a power bank usually takes 5-10 hours to charge. A Graphene Polymer (explanation here) battery takes 30-60 minutes! Although it uses a special 9-24V charger to achieve this.
Very recent advances in Graphene Polymer batteries allow electric vehicles to increase the distance from 400km to 800 km. It occupies between 20-30% space less than a lithium battery and can charge in a fraction of the time.
Next, conventional Li-ion banks have a hard time delivering fast charging 5V/3A, 9V/1.6A or 12V/1.5A charging. Graphene-based banks can deliver Qualcomm 3.0 Quick Charge at whatever amperage is required. Although it does need a special chip to monitor power delivery. The chip monitors over and under voltage to ensure the recipient device battery remains at best health.

It can charge 10,000mAh on 30 minutes and output Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 power delivery (15W total over 5/9/12V). This is amazing!
Its diminutive size of 146 (H) x 57 (wide) x 16mm (D) is less than half a 10,000mAh Lithium-ion battery.
It is an Indiegogo project.
The bank won’t be cheap. Expected cost is US$99.
Compare that to the average $30-60 Lithium-ion power bank. If you back it in Indiegogo, you can get one for US$69.
It opened funding today (5 August) and closes in 30 days. Within minutes it had backers!
GadgetGuy’s take. I have ordered several Graphene Polymer batteries – now it’s your turn.
This is the future. Nothing has happened in the battery world for so long. I urge you to invest at no risk.
