SAFE CHARGING
THINOs temperature and surge sensors automatically cut the power if anything goes wrong while charging or syncing your high-end device.
SMART SENSORS
The secret behind THINOs up to 3x faster charging speed is its built-in smart auto detection technology. THINOs patent-pending microchip-based sensor system figures out how fast your device can be charged and regulates the optimal current for any device.
FOR ALL DEVICES
THINO will be available with Lightning or Micro USB plug to make sure that its compatible withanydevice.
HOW THINO WORKS
While most ordinary chargers are set to supply a specific current, THINO is able to detect exactly how much current your device can draw from the power source and supply it with its maximum intake by using a built-in Micro-Processing Unit (MPU).
This MPU communicates directly with the USB unit on, for instance, your laptop and tells it to give the maximum charge it can.
At the same time, it instantly prepares your device to receive its full power intake.
THINOs Programmable System-on-Chip (PSoC) Technology unit manages everything, from the USB handshake, to charge detection, to short-circuit protection.
THINO has two groundbreaking features:
To recognize smartphones as a maximum current supply source
The ability to demand maximum current from the USB Adaptor
THINO contains a state-of-the-art management unit based on Cypress Programmable System-on-Chip (PsoC) technology. Using a dedicated smart algorithm, THINO can securely detect any mobile charging method, be it iPhones, Samsung devices or any other USB Battery Charging (BC) protocols, and can distinguish between the three different charging source types SDP, DCP and CDP.
Once the charging method has been detected, THINO is able to supply the smartphone with the maximum current it can draw from the power source. It supports a primary and secondary USB detection algorithm as defined by the USB Consortiums Battery Charging Specification, Revision 1.2.
In addition, THINO provides emergency power to your device via the internal Lithium Polymer (LiPo) battery.
The internal battery is charged from the current not used to directly charge the smartphone battery. What this means is that if, for example, the smartphone can be charged with 1.5A and the charging source is able to supply a total of 2.1A, the remaining 0.6A will be used to charge the internal battery.
THE STORY BEHIND THINO
The story of THINO is one of starting from nothing, and building something unique. Its about creating and testing, prototype after prototype. Its about the countless days and the sleepless nights spent trying to figure out the best solution, fixing problems, redesigning, reprogramming.
Its about the work put in to make sure we have something that is wholly our own. Something people have never seen before, a product that theyll be happy to use and that will make everyones life just that much easier.
When we started, we were so excited about what we had an idea that could, and did, turn into something special. It was going to be a challenge and it was going to lead to a lot of unexpected outcomes, but we knew we had what it took to see it through. Our path took us over peaks and through valleys.
Its much more than a business venture, its about human emotions, its about excitement, worry, ambition, uncertainty, certainty, passion, again worry; and then exhaustion, fatigue, disappointment; and then ambition, faith, self-confidence and trust.
A good idea can be the beacon that guides you through many lows, but its never enough. You have to deal with the obstacles in your path. You have to be the one to carry it from the drawing board, to the production line, to your customers front door.
So hows this path been treating us? Well, we can tell you of our best moments, and we can tell you of our worst moments. Wed like to start with our worst moments, just so we can enjoy the better ones that much more.
After several iterations of designs and testing we are happy to present the final THINO product.We truly believe in our product and are super excited about the final result.
Still, our best is yet to come, and we want to walk the last steps of our journey with you, our faithful backers and passionate supporters.

RISKS AND CHALLENGES
THINO is only as good as its parts, and up until now, all parts have been chosen to comply to international standards in terms of quality and safety.
THINO’s parts will be made using injection molding and other processes, which means they might have different tolerances and mechanical properties. If any of these do not meet the product ID or designed performance standards, we will have to make the required adjustments. To make sure we ship out the best product we can, well be running exhaustive tests on THINO, well be verifying every aspect of it, and well be quality checking every single device in line with our very strict quality protocols.
And that will take a bit of time.
To make our idea last and to meet our standards of quality takes time and diligence.
And so were trying to get there as quickly as possible, to get Thino ready without any delays and without sacrificing any of our principles along the way.
We know how frustrating delays are, and we know how disappointing it can be to receive something that just doesnt live up to expectations. This will be our biggest challenge satisfy both speed and quality. Were confident we can do this, were confident in our idea and were confident youll be as pleased with Thino as we are. With us, youre getting quality and dedication.
