Small Battery Cell, Big Power Output – CE-LINK’s 200W Portable Power Station Launches the Handheld Energy Revolution
China, 19th Nov 2024, Grand Newswire – As consumer demand for a versatile and dependable power supply continues to soar, particularly in off-grid or unforeseen scenarios, the urgency for a robust yet compact power source has intensified for numerous individuals. Recently, CE-LINK has unveiled a new handheld energy solution, the 200W Portable Power Station, powered by a high-performance 26700 4Ah battery cell. This portable power station incorporates an inventive structural design, striking an impeccable equilibrium between portability and energy efficiency.
High Energy Density
The 26700 4Ah battery cell’s positive electrode is coated with ultra-fine particles, increasing its surface area and storage capacity. The negative electrode uses granulated particles and carbon wrapping to boost conductivity. Combined with a superconductive network and high-conductivity electrolyte, this design reduces internal resistance and increases power density by over 300%.
High Safety
The lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) material system ensures the cell is intrinsically safe. With a CID and Vent double safety cover, a nickel-plated steel case, and a high-temperature-resistant ceramic-coated diaphragm, the battery provides strong protection against external shocks and high temperatures. The battery does not catch fire or explode when tested under extreme conditions with a pinprick, ensuring the safety of the portable power station.
Lightweight Design
The 26700 4Ah battery cell adopts the original 2670 structure, which reduces the number of monomers embedded to build the module and greatly reduces the unit weight and volume. As a result, the 200W portable power station boasts a smaller dimension of 200x134x130mm, just the size of a palm. It is extremely lightweight, enabling users to carry it anywhere with ease.
Excellent Performance
The 200W portable power station can cycle 0.5C/1C up to 3,000 times at room temperature. It also supports discharging at ambient temperatures from -20C to 55C, even under extreme conditions. With a capacity of only 102Wh (25.6V, 4Ah) and a 200W output power supported by a smaller body, this portable power station is the ultimate in balancing performance and size.
Applications for 200W Portable Power Station
- Outdoor adventures: suitable for camping, hiking, etc., enabling users to charge small devices.
- Workstations: supports laptops and tablets for remote workers.
- Emergency Backup: vital for homeowners during power outages.
With growing demand for lightweight, reliable power solutions, the 200W Portable Power Station meets CE-LINK’s commitment to innovation. CE-LINK will expand portable power station applications with advanced battery systems and energy solutions.
About CE-LINK
Founded in 2004, CE-LINK is a global leader in the research, development, and production of innovative consumer electronics and energy solutions.
