Story

The World’s First iOS Power Bank

Meet the One Power Bank

to Rule Them All

For iPhone 13 and iPhone 12

For iPhone 11 and former version of iPhone, and Android

We offer a power bank without a Magnetic function (MagSafe Charger) and kickstand.

Make Your Life Easier with One Charger

You usually need to use a separate charger for your Apple Watch and a wireless charger for your iPhone. Power banks with two functions do exist, but they are bulky and too large to carry.

Two Charging Coils into One!

CIO’s Hybrid Wireless Battery can charge both of these with just one charger. It is also MagSafe compatible and can charge the iPhone 13 / 12 with a built-in magnet.

Since the power bank has a magnetic wireless charging function, you can attach the charger to the exact spot and charge efficiently.

As Seen On: 

Automatic Device Identification

CIO Hybrid Wireless Battery has two coils built into one pad, which can automatically identify the device placed on it and send the proper current. This feature is one of the most innovative to have been created.

You can also use it as a desktop charger at home.

No More Falls with MagSafe

The magnet is strong enough to keep an iPhone attached, so it will not come off even if you shake your phone.

*This function is only available for iPhone 13 / iPhone 12 users.

Even if you have it loose in your bag, you don’t have to worry about the MagSafe magnet detaching and stopping the charging.

CIO Hybrid Wireless Battery has a built-in adjustable kickstand. Since it can stand on its own at any angle, it is convenient for many things, like watching videos or checking recipes when cooking with your iPhone 13 / iPhone 12.

*Wireless Charging + Apple Watch Version does not carry the kickstand.

It is designed to be compact enough to fit on the iPhone 12 mini and not get in the way of the camera. It will not tire you due to its lightweight design. is lightweight so it won’t add a lot of weight and wear you out when it’s attached to your phone.

It is about 1.5cm smaller than our previous MagSafe power bank. By combining multiple functions into one,  you can be economical with your bag space, time, and money.

This makes it no longer necessary to use separate chargers for your devices, like for your Apple Watch and smartphone.

When charging with the cable, it supports PD 20W fast charging and can be used as a regular power bank with a 5000mAh capacity.

Charge 2 Devices at Once

With wireless and USB-C ports, you can charge up to two devices at the same time. It also supports pass-through charging, so you can charge your devices while charging the device itself. It can charge max 10W for wireless charging, and max 20W for cable charging.

Not only this, you can charge multiple devices at once and it also supports the pass-through function.

Production

Testimonial

CIO was founded by Shodai, who was born in 1990 in Osaka, Japan. While working for a Japanese IT company as a new graduate in 2011, he started importing and using gadgets from overseas to make his work environment and daily life more convenient.

But as he started using these foreign tools more, he realized how limited each device was, and that he had to own multiple chargers to power up his laptop, smartphone, music player, etc. As a result, he had more devices than he knew what to do with and was constantly wasting time looking for the right charger for the right device.

Realizing that other people must be having the same problem, Shodai starting thinking about how to combine multiple functions in a single product, while also using the latest technology. When he couldn’t find such devices elsewhere, he decided to start manufacturing his own products.

With this idea in mind, CIO was established in 2017 as a manufacturer dedicated to creating devices that would set new standards of multi-functionality while also using the most advanced technologies.

CIO started out selling its products exclusively on Japanese e-commerce sites, but has expanded and now services a wide range of major Japanese electronics retailers, home centers, and supermarkets, and more than one million people have now used our products.

Our next goal is to bring this marriage of multi-functionality and technology from Japan to the rest of the world. And with your help, we are sure we can make this happen!

MANUFACTURING: The manufacturer is lined up, and we have quality assurance team on-site during production.

There is a possibility of slight changes of the color in our devices and in the company logos.

If the number of supporters exceeds our expectations, the shipping time may be delayed due to production delays or other reasons in the manufacturing process.

FULFILLMENT: Sometimes things get a bit crazy and stuff happens that can’t be planned for: a supplier misses a deadline, customs clearance or a shipment gets lost. Those things could cause a delay. We are using an experienced logistics team to get our products to you. We’ll keep up open and honest communication lines with you throughout the process so you will know where your product is and when it will get to you.

OTHER RISKS: If the number of supporters exceeds our expectations and we are able to further improve our mass production system, the regular selling price may be lower than the planned selling price. There is a possibility that similar products exist, so please support us at your own discretion.

The actual color of the product may be different than how it looked in the environment it was filmed in.
