Yoshino Portable Solid-State Batteries: Safer and Lighter Solar Power Stations with Powerful Solid-State Technology

Safer and lighter solid-state batteries are the next big thing in global battery technology, and as far as we know, they are capable of replacing lithium batteries. At CES 2023, Yoshino emerged with a series of impressive solid-state (SST) solar power stations that integrate the brand’s innovative solid-state battery packs.

The Yoshino portable solid-state batteries unveiled at CES are the B330, B660, B2000, and B4000, which range from 241Wh to 2611Wh in storage capacity and 330W to 4000W in inverter power.

Of course, the SST technology is the main attraction of Yoshino’s brand-new line of solar power stations, which are indeed lighter, safer, and greener compared to their lithium alternatives from other brands like Bluetti, EcoFlow, and Jackery.

Interestingly, the top-tier variants of the Yoshino power stations – B2000 and B4000 – feature UPS to provide emergency power for your home, and the B4000 even features Smart Link Tech to expand the storage capacity, and it also integrates a 30A RV outlet for RV use.

Yoshino SST Power Stations Price and Release Date Update: Yoshino has confirmed to us that the brand is looking to start selling the models in May 2023. The price of the lineup is to range from $349 to $3200 for the B330 to the B4000.

Final Thoughts

That has been our take on the brand-new Yoshino portable solid-state batteries. The brand has put these models on display at CES. The brand is reportedly going to start selling these models sooner. The prices and release date of the Yoshino SST solar power stations are yet to be announced.

Of course, these models are going to pose a critical threat to big brands like EcoFlow, Bluetti, and Jackery with their SST batteries. The entire portable solar power station market will undergo a disruption if these models are on sale at some competitive prices to their lithium alternatives.
