From April 2020 I'm testing LiFePO4 and LTO power bank fully manufactured in the UK, Manufacturer planning to open second manufacturing line in the Germany (there will be stamp "Made in Germany").
I have received two battery versions for testing purposes (based on LTO and LFP Cells).
Power bank will be available in Q1-Q2 2021, manufacturer also declare that the prices will be in around:
£169 for the
LiFePO4 (6200mAh@12.8V)
£109 for the extended
LiFePO4 (12000mAh@12.8V)
£199 for the
LTO version (LTO has lower capacity 4500mAh but battery charging time is just 10minutes!!)
Here is some pictures of the product and specification:
LiFePO4 power bank specs:
- Rated Capacity:
6200mAh@12.8V (measured capacity is 6342mAh with the Viofo A129 DUO 2CH)
- Charging time:
1h 20 minutes via cigar lighter plug
- Compatible with
12V and
24V (works with standard cars and also with lorries, busses)

- Battery cycle life
5000+ 80% DOD (13years every day charge / discharge)
- 12V output and ACC +12V (for the dash cams with parking mode)
- Build in 5V efficient step down converter (Monolithic Power Systems from USA) less than 1% energy looses on conversion.
-
10Sec delay start charging (easy to start engine in winter time)
- based on 4 large Lifepo4 Cells (means low risk of damage power bank compared to the Cellink NEO6 which uses 16 cells, if one cell is damaged all power bank is not working completely).

- SCP - Short Circuit Protection (RED Light & STOP charging)
- RVP - Reverse Voltage Protection (RED Light & STOP charging)
- OCP - Overcharge Protection (Internal BMS with CV,CC)
- 10sec soft start charging delay
- no fire, no explosion thanks to the LiFePO4 cells (4S)
