Unfurl, Power Up, Retract: Elecom’s New Mobile Battery is a Cable-Free Dream for On-the-Go Lifestyles

Elecom Co., Ltd. is set to launch a new mobile battery in mid-January 2026, featuring an innovative retractable USB Type-C™ (USB-C™) cable. With a substantial 10,000mAh capacity and a powerful 35W output, this device promises to revolutionize portable charging by eliminating the need for separate cables.

The core of its appeal lies in its smart, retractable cable design. After use, the approximately 62cm long cable neatly retracts into the battery’s body, preventing tangles and ensuring you’re never caught without the right cord. This thoughtful integration means users can pull out just the right amount of cable needed, allowing for comfortable device operation while charging.

Powerful and Versatile Charging for All Your Devices

Beyond its cable-integrated convenience, this mobile battery packs a punch with up to 35W output. This capability extends beyond just smartphones and tablets, enabling the charging of compatible notebook PCs like the MacBook Air. For those with multiple gadgets, the battery also includes an additional USB Type-C port and a USB-A port. While simultaneous charging across multiple ports or the integrated cable and a port will distribute a total of 15W, the dedicated USB Type-C port or integrated cable can deliver the full 35W independently. The USB-A port alone can provide up to 22.5W.

The battery itself is recharged via USB Type-C, with a 35W or higher AC charger recommended for optimal charging times (AC charger not included). It supports “Pass-through charging,” allowing the mobile battery and a connected smartphone to be charged simultaneously, which helps preserve battery health.

Smart Features for Everyday Use

This Elecom mobile battery is designed with user convenience in mind:

Low Current Mode: Specifically for small electronic devices like Bluetooth® headsets and earphones (USB-A port only).
“Omakase Charging”: Automatically detects the connected device and delivers optimal charging (USB-A port only).
USB Power Delivery and PPS Compatibility: Adjusts voltage and current for efficient, rapid charging of devices like iPhones and tablets.

With a 10,000mAh capacity, it can charge an 1,800mAh smartphone approximately 3.3 times or a 3,000mAh smartphone about 1.9 times. An LED panel displays the battery remaining percentage, offering precise monitoring. It’s also compatible with Nintendo Switch™ and Nintendo Switch Lite™ (though not with the dock).

Prioritizing Safety and Sustainability

Safety is paramount, with the battery incorporating Thermal Protection to monitor and control temperature, automatically adjusting output to protect devices. It features five crucial protection functions: overcharge, over-discharge, overcurrent prevention, short-circuit protection, and temperature detection. Furthermore, its battery capacity of less than 160Wh (43,243mAh) makes it suitable for airline carry-on, subject to airline regulations.

Elecom has also certified this product under its THINK ECOLOGY initiative. This means it meets environmental standards by utilizing over 10% recycled materials in its main components, employing sustainably sourced paper for packaging, using only paper, cardboard, and poly bags for packaging, and reducing plastic weight in packaging by over 20% compared to internal standards.

As one user might exclaim, “Imagine the sheer satisfaction of your cable disappearing with a satisfying ‘zip’ – that’s the magic Elecom brings to daily charging, making life just a little bit smoother!”

Available in sleek black (DE-C82L-10000BK) and a charming “Shiro-chan” white x black (DE-C82L-10000WF) design, this new mobile battery offers a blend of functionality, safety, and environmental responsibility.
