ELECOM has announced its first collaboration products with the football club Cerezo Osaka. The initial lineup consists of a power bank, an AC charger and a USB-C cable, all finished in the same Cerezo pink. Limited-quantity pre-orders opened on the Cerezo Osaka web page at 18:00 on August 12, 2026, with the release scheduled for September. The power bank uses the semi-solid-state lithium-ion cell that ELECOM has been pushing this year.
The First Product to Come Out of a Platinum Partner Agreement
The relationship between ELECOM and Cerezo Osaka started with a platinum partner agreement announced on January 16, 2026[1][2]. These collaboration products are the first lineup to come out of that agreement. This is the first time ELECOM has released products developed together with Cerezo Osaka, and the company chose to start with three charging accessories[1].
ELECOM is headquartered in Chuo Ward, Osaka, and Cerezo Osaka is based in the same city, so the tie-up also carries a strong local flavour. For a company that covers everything from PC peripherals to cooking appliances and pet gadgets, a football club collaboration is less about the product category itself and more about presentation[1].
A 5,000mAh Power Bank Built on a Semi-Solid-State Cell
The most eye-catching of the three is the CE-BT01PN power bank[1][2]. It offers 5,000mAh of capacity and uses a semi-solid-state lithium-ion cell that is resistant to catching fire. It works in extreme heat and extreme cold, and its charge cycle life is rated at roughly 2,000 cycles. The remaining charge is shown on an LED panel in 1 percent increments, so you can read off exactly how much is left as a number.
The semi-solid-state cell itself is a technology ELECOM first adopted in a new power bank announced on February 25, 2026[3]. Turning the electrolyte into a gel lowers the risk of leakage, reduces the amount of flammable organic electrolyte used, and suppresses the release of flammable gas in the event of an internal short circuit. Conventional power banks are rated at around 500 charge cycles, while this cell is rated at roughly 2,000, and its operating temperature range runs from minus 15 to 45 degrees Celsius, wider than the 0 to 40 degree range typical of ordinary products[3].
In other words, the CE-BT01PN is not a repainted souvenir item but a product carrying the same safety-focused cell that ELECOM has been putting front and centre this year. The street price is 6,280 yen, or 5,709 yen before tax[1].
The AC Charger and USB-C Cable Are Built for Everyday Use
The CE-AC01PN AC charger has one USB Type-C port and one USB-A port[1]. It can fast-charge compatible smartphones and is described as a lightweight, compact design that fits in the palm of your hand. It is clearly built to be carried out of the house, and the street price is 1,980 yen, or 1,800 yen before tax.
The CE-CCSS10PN USB-C cable uses a soft silicone material with a smooth feel[1]. It resists tangling even when coiled, and supports USB Power Delivery charging at up to 60W along with USB 2.0 data transfer. The street price is 1,880 yen, or 1,709 yen before tax. With 60W on tap it also reaches into laptop-charging territory, so there is no need to treat it as a smartphone-only cable.
Matching the Colour Across Three Products Was the Hard Part
The detail ELECOM highlights most is that all three products share the same Cerezo pink body colour[1]. The company is fabless and picks the most suitable factory for each product. These three items were not only made in different factories but also use different materials, so making them look like the same colour was far from simple.
Resin and silicone develop colour differently even with the same pigment, and different factories mean different quality standards to align. The company says it refused to compromise and pursued a unified finish anyway. The packaging was also designed to put Cerezo Osaka front and centre so that buyers feel a lift at the moment of purchase[1].
Pre-Orders Are Limited, Release Comes in September
Pre-orders opened at 18:00 on August 12, 2026 on the Cerezo Osaka web page, in limited quantities[1]. The release is scheduled for September, so the pre-order window sits ahead of general availability. Given the limited-quantity condition, this is likely to be partly a collectible run aimed at supporters.
Note that these products are being offered through the Cerezo Osaka web page, so searching for the same model numbers at general retailers or online marketplaces may turn up nothing[1]. Anyone who wants one should check the official sales page directly.
Summary
The first ELECOM and Cerezo Osaka collaboration starts with three charging products: a power bank, an AC charger and a USB-C cable. The power bank in particular is a 5,000mAh model built on a semi-solid-state lithium-ion cell, with practical substance such as a roughly 2,000-cycle life and a 1 percent-step charge readout. Limited pre-orders opened at 18:00 on August 12, and the release is set for September.
