Solidsafe™ Responds to Global Battery Recall Wave
Magnetic solid-state power banks cut fire risk. Launching on Kickstarter August 5.
LOS ANGELES, July 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BMX (Better Mobile Xperience) today announced SolidSafe™, a new line of magnetic battery packs built with solid-state battery cells to significantly reduce the risk of fire, overheating, or catastrophic failure. The launch comes at a time when traditional lithium-ion and polymer batteries are facing growing safety concerns with over 1.7 million battery packs recalled globally since March 2025 and airlines are tightening restrictions significantly.
SolidSafe™ features a solid-state design that eliminates most of the flammable liquid electrolyte found in lithium-ion and polymer batteries resulting in a safer, fire resistant, power bank that still delivers fast charging in a slim, travel-ready form. The lineup includes three battery models (5K, 10K, and 10K with microSD expansion) and two charging docks (3-bay and 5-bay).
'Power banks shouldn't be the riskiest thing in your bag,' said Daniel Chin, co-founder of BMX. 'With global recalls rising and new airline rules taking shape, SolidSafe ™ offers a safer alternative that cuts fire risks while maintaining performance.'
