CIO Smartcoby Ex06 power bank, Digi Mart USA News: Japanese company CIO has launched a new power bank, the Smartcoby Ex06, through a Makuake crowdfunding campaign opened on November 9. According to CIO’s announcement, the device delivers up to 25 W wirelessly or 45 W through its integrated 30 cm cable, making it suitable for smartphones and some USB-C laptops.
The retractable cable serves two purposes: it can charge connected devices or replenish the power bank’s own battery. The publisher notes that when connected to a USB-C charger at home, the Ex06 can act as a wireless charging stand-in, supplying power to a compatible smartphone while its battery recharges.
The Ex06 includes CIO’s NovaCore C3 management system. A companion application displays battery health, charging cycles and cell temperature.
The battery supports simultaneous wired and wireless charging, but combined output is limited to 15 W in that mode, so charging two devices at maximum supported speeds is not possible.
Early-bird offers through the crowdfunding campaign start at ¥8,580 for the first 300 units and ¥8,780 for another 500 units. The planned retail price is ¥11,980, according to CIO’s official announcement.
The source states that international availability has not yet been confirmed.
