There are tons of MagSafe battery variations, and I may own most of them. The new TESSAN AERO 5000 caught my eye because it’s really thin and has a titanium finish. It also uses a new battery technology to reduce heat and improve overall safety. After reviewing the entire spec sheet, I think this might be one of the more interesting MagSafe batteries hitting the market this year, and I can’t wait to get my hands on one.

Titanium build and an ultra thin design

TESSAN built the AERO 5000 to be only 6.9 millimeters thick, roughly the thickness of three credit cards when stacked together. It is designed to fit in your pocket without feeling like you have a thick battery in your pocket as well. It’ll feel more like having a MagSafe wallet.

Beyond the size, the materials they chose for the build are what really set this apart for me. TESSAN used iPhone-grade titanium alloy for the battery’s back. It’s a nice touch. It’s really hard to stand out with batteries because it’s generally either the price or the size of the battery.

Battery-wise, TESSAN uses a pure-cobalt, semi-solid-state battery core called SolidSafe. Standard batteries typically contain highly flammable liquids, but this new structure from TESSAN aims drastically reduces heat buildup and prevents thermal runaway even if the battery takes extreme physical damage. Heat is the enemy of battery health, so anything that keeps temperatures down while charging is a huge win. It can output up to 15 watts wirelessly or 20 watts when plugged into the USB-C port. Having a wired output port is great, even for a smaller battery (think AirPods charging, etc)

Wrap up on the TESSAN AERO 5000

If you want absolute minimal weight in your everyday carry, the TESSAN AERO 5000 looks like a fantastic option. It combines a titanium finish with next-generation battery safety to keep the heat down.
