Battery startup BMX (Better Mobile Xperience) claims that some airlines are now banning standard lithium-ion batteries due to safety concerns. Whether that's true, more on which in a sec', its new solid-state USB-C charging pack does look interesting, especially once you've seen BMX drive a nail through it and have it allegedly keep on working.
BMX's SolidSafe is a solid-state external battery pack that can be used for charging various devices, most obviously smartphones. BMX says it contains no "flammable liquids," just solid-state cells which it claims are "way more stable, [with] greater heat and swelling resistance, and two times the life span over lithium-ion."
