Elecom’s Na Plus sodium-ion power bank uses safer and longer-lasting sodium-ion battery technology

Elecom has introduced the Na Plus power bank, claiming it is the first consumer-ready product using sodium-ion battery technology instead of lithium-ion batteries.
Sodium-Ion batteries can operate in extreme temperatures and have a lifespan of almost 5,000 charges, although they are bulkier and heavier than lithium alternatives.
Experts from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology have highlighted that sodium clusters in batteries can increase safety risks, causing thermal runaway even during normal use.
The Na Plus battery is less likely to catch fire due to overheating when compared to lithium-ion batteries.
