People are really not taking design into consideration when building these batteries.
I've spent 8h looking for a good looking battery that is also performant.. none found!
Aluminum ones are interesting, but it scratches your phone if you put them in the same pocket. Plastic is too cheap. There are a few with some nice materials, but with only one USB.
@zendure Mophie has some power banks with some nice materials but they are a bit pricey ( probably due to the opportunity of selling them on apple store ). But it can be either some nice, not bulky leather or very light rubber ( something similar to a phone case ) or even a strong glass. I'm not a product designer, but I'm sure you guys can find a way to make performant things look nicer :)

@merlot There aren't many out there. I've bought several of Omnicharge chargers and they're better than most. They recently introduced a new line called OmniMobile that's nicely designed yet is functional - good capacity, light weight and with options. (Note: They're crowdfunding it like they've done for all their products). https://www.indiegogo.com/projec...

powerful thing right there! BTW Did I get it right that it can charge up to 7 smartphones at a time?
Is the heat dissipation of metal better than plastic?
Does it contain a protective cover?
How many times after charging and discharging, performance degradation occurs?
Thanks!
@albert_arshakyan Metal does conduct more heat than plastic, but we found it to be unnecessary in the construction of this product.
Charge/discharge cycles and lithium-ion technology's tendency to slowly degrade over time vary widely depending on usage, but our products are rated for about 500 cycles.

@zendure@norayr_margaryan Would a firmware update allow you to read the battery status through USB ? (with an SDK / driver off course)
Reminds me of BatteryBox (https://www.getbatterybox.com/pr...), which I backed and then later replaced with OmniCharge (https://www.omnicharge.co/).
Not sure why I would back this as opposed to buying something that is already available and customer-proven, though.
@joshuapinter BatteryBox has a 24 AWG cable for their version of high output. 24 AWG is typically only rated for about half, or maybe three fifths, of the total current needed to output 100W PD power at 6A. BatteryBox has 60 Wh of charge capacity, while SuperTank has four. In addition, BatteryBox and OmniCharge are both about twice the cost that SuperTank is currently listed on Kickstarter. By the way, did you know that OmniCharge also launched through crowdfunding? It's worth noting that Zendure has been in the portable charger industry for over five years.
