Sharge previews world-first Qi2 Forged Carbon Fiber Power Bank as part of upcoming accessory line-up
Forged Carbon Fiber has just become the new transparent for Sharge's latest power banks. The almost granite-effect material has apparently been chosen for its scratch-resistance and reduced density compared to more traditional choices such as metal or polycarbonate as well as its widely-touted strength and resilience.
Sharge asserts that it has used this new "unibody-forged" technique to create 2 kinds of power bank of this apparently exceptional build quality. The CarbonBlade will be a USB type-A/-C unit with 10,000mAh of typical capacity, although it will be much more of an 'every-day carry' accessory than something like the Shargeek 170 with a maximal output of 22.5W.
The CarbonMag, on the other hand, will land as a successor to the RGB-enhanced ICEMAG (currently $59.99 on Amazon) with the ability to supplant a first-party MagSafe power bank. It will come with 5,000mAh (5K) and 10,000mAh (10K) variants, although it looks like the addition of up-to-15W Qi2 charging is exclusive to the latter.
Sharge also boasts that the use of Forged Carbon Fiber makes each new member of the series extra-thin and extra-light, with a height of just 0.46 inches for the 0.36lb CarbonBlade.
The OEM has hinted that the new accessories are to be unleashed via crowdfunding, with the chance of an up to 36% off "MAX Early Bird Discount", later in August 2024.
