Sadly the battery packs are still made in china though.
Battery tech seems to be a big problem in general.
- LinuxBender 5y agoI suspect in the next few years that will be less of an issue. There are companies currently ramping up in Japan, Germany and the UK that are making 3D printed solid state batteries that will be lighter, higher capacity, higher C rating than the current batteries. The tech exists, is safety certified but not yet in mass production.
- silisili 5y agoWhat's interesting there is that internally, all of them use Samsung, made in Korea batteries. They just assemble the case and circuitry in China.
- Lio 5y agoI bought a Samsung power bank recently and was surprised that it was made in china and not Korea. If that’s just assembly that would make sense considering Samsung’s expertese.
