Yoshino Technology exhibited two new solid-state technology (SST) solar generator adaptable power station features at the Consumer Electronic Show Jan. 5-8 in Las Vegas. All models (B330, B660, B2000 and B4000) will be ETL certified, signifying proof of product compliance to North American safety standards.
The B2000 and B4000 models will feature Uninterruptible Power Supply, which provides emergency power when the input power source or main power fails. Additionally, the B4000 will include Smart Link Tech for capacity expansion and a 30-amp RV outlet.
Yoshino’s solid-state technology (SST) portable power stations offer more power in a smaller, lighter and safer power station for uses ranging from outdoor family/outdoor adventure to home backup and industrial settings, the company said.
The portable power stations are built around a solid electrolyte in place of the liquid electrolyte found in traditional lithium batteries. Higher energy density means the same amount of power fits into a smaller, lighter package compared to traditional lithium batteries, Yoshino Technology said. Liquid electrolytes are flammable and can catch fire if a battery is damaged or overheated, SST batteries have greatly reduced risk because they use a solid electrolyte, the company said.
SST batteries attain an 80% capacity charge in under an hour. SST batteries provide up to twice the power per pound of traditional lithium batteries, the company said.
“Being first to announce an SST battery in a portable power station, and now being the only company in this space to have our entire product line ETL certified, has made for a very exciting and busy few months,” said Vince Caito, Yoshino Technology vice president, marketing and product development. “Products will begin shipping in May and will enhance a wide array of lifestyles—from van life and outdoor adventure, to powering your outdoor business and providing home backup power in case of power outages—with a smaller, lighter, safer option at the leading edge of solid-state technology.”
