Semi-Solid State Power Bank: Safer, TSA-Ready | ToughTested
The ToughTested Thor 10AC Semi-Solid State Power Bank with Wall Plug is a 10,000mAh power bank with a safer semi-solid state cell, built-in AC wall plug, and USB-C cable. It's for drivers, crews, and travelers who carry backup power every day and don't want a standard lithium battery riding in a pocket, cab, or carry-on.
Most power banks run on standard lithium-polymer or lithium-ion cells. Puncture, crush, or overheat one, and it can swell, then go into thermal runaway. That means fire, smoke, sometimes an explosion, and it's why airlines ban them from checked bags.
Semi-solid state battery technology changes the math. Here's what it is and why it matters.
What Is a Semi-Solid State Battery?
A semi-solid state battery replaces most of the flammable liquid electrolyte inside a standard lithium cell with a semi-solid electrolyte. Less volatile material inside the cell means far less fuel for a fire when the cell is damaged.
This is newer technology. Most power banks on the shelf still carry the same cell chemistry they did ten years ago.
Punctured or Damaged: Drastically Lower Fire Risk
The Thor 10AC's semi-solid state cell has a drastically lower risk of fire, swelling, or explosion if it's punctured or damaged. Those are the exact failures that send a standard power bank into thermal runaway.
Tested for Puncture, Heat, Cold, Drops, and Vibration
The Thor 10AC is tested for durability and safety, including:
- Nail puncture resistance
- High-temperature exposure
- Extreme cold performance
- Drop and impact resistance
- Vibration testing
That covers the real abuse: a pack crushed in a tool bag, baking on a summer dashboard, or rattling in a truck cab all shift. It's built for job sites, not desk drawers.
2x Lifespan and Cooler Fast Charging
The semi-solid state cell lasts 2x as long as typical lithium-polymer cells. That's a longer run of daily charging before you need a replacement.
It also runs cooler during fast wireless or wired charging. That matters on a sun-baked dashboard or in a closed jacket pocket.
TSA Carry-On Ready at Roughly 37 Watt-Hours
The Thor 10AC's 10,000mAh capacity works out to roughly 37 watt-hours. That is well under the FAA's 100Wh limit for carry-on batteries, so it flies in your carry-on without an airline approval.
Power banks are never allowed in checked luggage. Every one of them rides in the cabin. A semi-solid state cell with a drastically lower fire risk is a better thing to have riding there than a standard lithium pack.
Wall Plug, Built-In Cable, and Magnetic Charging in One Unit
The Thor 10AC has built-in folding AC wall prongs. Plug it straight into an outlet and it works as a 2-in-1 wall charger while recharging itself. No separate charging brick needed.
A built-in USB-C cable with a dustproof protective cover means there's no cable to forget. The magnetic pad delivers MagSafe-compatible wireless charging up to 15W, gripping an iPhone without blocking the camera.
The 20W USB-C Power Delivery port fast-charges a phone, tablet, or MacBook Air, and the port is two-way. Run up to 3 devices at once.

What is a semi-solid state power bank?
▼
A semi-solid state power bank uses cells with a semi-solid electrolyte in place of most of the flammable liquid in standard lithium batteries. That means a drastically lower risk of fire, swelling, or explosion if the cell is damaged. The cells also last 2x as long as typical lithium-polymer cells and run cooler while fast charging.
Can the Thor 10AC catch fire or explode like other power banks?
▼
The risk is drastically lower. The ToughTested Thor 10AC Semi-Solid State Power Bank with Wall Plug uses a semi-solid state cell. It's far less likely to catch fire, swell, or explode if punctured or damaged. It's tested for nail puncture, high heat, extreme cold, drops, impact, and vibration.
Can I take a semi-solid state power bank on a plane?
▼
Yes, in your carry-on. At 10,000mAh, roughly 37 watt-hours, the Thor 10AC sits well under the FAA's 100Wh carry-on limit. Power banks are never allowed in checked bags, so it rides in the cabin with you.
How many devices can the Thor 10AC charge?
▼
Up to 3 devices at once. It delivers 20W USB-C Power Delivery by port or cable, plus MagSafe-compatible wireless charging up to 15W. Expect about 4 full phone charges and up to 49 hours of extra battery.
Semi-solid state is the direction battery safety is heading. The Thor 10AC gets you there now. Shop the Thor 10AC.
