Through a chance piece of design, the leading power pack in terms of energy density is made by / branded on behalf of Haribo, a confectionary company: https://www.ultralightnerd.com/index.php/2025/06/26/haribo-m... What’s interesting is, like the other products, it was designed and marketed for one purpose but has become very popular for another. (Although in this case it could well just be a fashion, especially given how uniquely identifiable the product is.) | ||

It's probably a reference to the Haribo power bank thing (which appears to be poorly made and dangerous). | ||

It doesn't fit into the list as a revolution (or even 'evolution') as it's just a high-density, compact and cheap battery [1] that turns out to be quite unsafe [2]. | ||
