Long-standing Australian consumer electronics company LASER, a familiar name in homes across the nation for four decades, has announced the launch of its groundbreaking new range of power banks under its Chargecore sub-brand. This marks a significant step forward in portable power solutions as it introduces Australia’s first power banks featuring advanced LiFePO₄ (lithium iron phosphate) battery technology.
The new “SafeCharge Max” range promises a safer, longer-lasting, and more environmentally conscious way to power today’s demanding devices. At the heart of these power banks lies the LiFePO₄ battery, which LASER states significantly outperforms traditional lithium-ion alternatives in several key areas.
Key Features at a Glance:
- Temperature Resilience: Performs better in temperature extremes compared to lithium-ion.
- Recyclable: Uses Phosphate instead of less recyclable Metal oxides.
- Non-Toxic: No toxic Cobalt, Nickel, or Lead content.
- Lighter: 70% lighter than Lead Acid and 30% lighter than Lithium Ion.
- More Charge Cycles: Up to 5000 charge cycles.
- Safer: Will not explode if dropped or punctured.
- Long Lasting: 5x longer lifespan than Lithium Ion.
- Fast Charging: Reaches 85% charge in under 90 minutes.
A major advantage of the LiFePO₄ technology is its enhanced safety. Engineered to withstand extreme temperatures, it is thermally stable and non-combustible, effectively eliminating the risks of overheating, fire, or explosion commonly associated with other battery types. This makes the SafeCharge Max range an ideal companion for various activities, from international travel to rugged outback adventures.
Beyond safety, the new power banks boast an impressive lifespan of up to 5,000 charge cycles, which is, on average, five times longer than standard lithium-ion power banks. This extended lifespan not only reduces the cost for consumers over time but also contributes to minimizing electronic waste. Furthermore, the LiFePO₄ technology is environmentally friendly, containing no cobalt, nickel, or lead, and is fully recyclable at the end of its lifecycle.
Performance-wise, the SafeCharge Max power banks offer consistent power output, ensuring faster and more reliable charging of devices without the performance degradation often seen in other batteries. They also boast rapid charging capabilities, reaching 85% charge in under 90 minutes. Additionally, the new range is notably lighter, being 70% lighter than lead acid and 30% lighter than lithium-ion counterparts.
The ChargeCore SafeCharge Max range is available in 20,000mAh (RRP $69.95), 10,000mAh (RRP $49.95), and 5,000mAh (RRP $29.95) capacities, and comes in a variety of eye-catching colours including Black Titanium, White Titanium, Aquatic Awe, and Sunset Coral.
LASER positions this new range as the perfect power solution for frequent flyers, students, professionals, and outdoor enthusiasts seeking a dependable and future-proof charging option. With its superior safety, longevity, environmental benefits, and performance, the SafeCharge Max range is poised to set a new benchmark in the Australian powerbank market.
