Vention Launches Vention H Series for Inclusive Design, and Next-Generation Dash Series, Setting Standards for Power Bank Innovations

Published

on

BERLIN, Sept. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Vention, a design-led consumer electronics brand, today announced its all-new Vention H Series alongside the U.S. and E.U. debut of its flagship Dash Series. Introducing a more approachable take on portable power through a refined, fashion-forward design language, Vention at IFA 2026 is debuting a thoughtfully curated color palette, alongside a user-friendly charging platform that removes the guesswork from battery management.

While portable batteries have long competed on capacity, output, and other technical specifications, Vention believes the future of the category lies in the experience itself. The  Vention H Series and Dash Series reimagine portable power through a more refined design language and an intuitive interface that makes battery management effortless. By combining aesthetics with usability, Vention transforms portable power from a purely functional device with tool-inspired aesthetics, into one that people see as an extension of their personal style and identity.

Vention H Series: Where Powerful and Safe Performance Meets Personal Style

Designed to complement the iPhone 18’s flagship red color, Vention H Series’ signature Burgundy Dusk colorway combines a sleek 6.9 mm profile with a high-capacity 5,000mAh battery. Blending naturally into everyday life through an understated yet refined silhouette, its contoured aluminum alloy body is finished with a refined matte texture that delivers a soft, frosted feel. A minimalist two-tone design and contoured edges introduces greater depth and sophistication than the conventional single-color, industrial aesthetic that has long defined the category.

The design philosophy is rooted in the Vention H Series’ concept of “Half Sky, Half Earth” where two shades of the same hue meet in harmony to evoke the horizon – the point where the colors of the sky merge with the light reflected across the earth. Drawing inspiration from the ever-changing colors of the sky, the Vention H Series is offered in a curated palette of Burgundy Dusk, Cloud White, and Midnight Black, allowing users to choose a finish that complements both their personal style and everyday surroundings. But beyond its visual inspiration, the design mandate also carries a deeper meaning. “Half Sky, Half Earth” carries a reference to “holding up half the sky,” reflecting the series’ broader expression of bringing a more inclusive and human-centered perspective to portable power design.

Despite its ultra-thin, design-forward profile, the Vention H Series is an engineering achievement built without compromise. Designed for everyday carry, from business and commuting to travel, the series incorporates a solid-liquid hybrid battery, a technology commonly found in flagship smartphones that delivers higher energy density, improved low-temperature performance, and enhanced reliability within an exceptionally slim form factor.

Safety is equally uncompromising. The Vention H Series has passed a 4mm tungsten steel needle puncture test without sparking, smoking, or exploding, while also withstanding a 135°C (275°F) hot-box test for 60 minutes without combustion. This provides users with greater confidence whether carrying it in a bag, pocket, or luggage.

Complementing the hardware is an intuitive companion app that rethinks the portable power experience. Rather than relying on a simple battery percentage, users gain real-time visibility into battery temperature, current, charging status, capacity, and overall system health. By transforming complex battery data into clear, accessible insights, the Vention H Series replaces uncertainty with confidence, making portable power easier to understand and more enjoyable to use.

Dash Series: Introducing the Dash Pro, a 140W 4-Port GAN 5.0 Charger with Smart Energy System

For people constantly on the move, be it business travelers or commuters, repeatedly checking whether their devices are charged is one more unnecessary distraction. But most chargers will only display how much power remains, and not how much power is actually being delivered, how quickly the devices are charging, or how efficiently the charger is performing. The Dash Series, a lineup of six chargers anchored by its flagship the Dash Pro, a 140W 4-port GaN 5.0 charger with a smart display, is designed to remove that uncertainty by making charging more transparent, intuitive, and effortless.

Powered by next-generation 140W GaN 5.0 technology, Dash Pro generates less heat than conventional chargers, while delivering a more compact size, higher efficiency, lower energy loss, and superior thermal performance. It pairs high-performance charging with Vention’s EnergyCore™ platform, transforming complex, real-time charging data into five animated and  color-coded expressive emojis that anyone can understand, regardless of technical expertise. Designed to communicate the real-time charging status at a single glance, Dash Pro’s real-time power readings display a sleepy white face when idle; a neutral blue face during trickle charging; a happy green face during fast charging; an excited orange face at maximum speed; and a protective red warning should any anomaly occur. 

Or through its companion app, users can monitor the real-time charging power, current, temperature, and device status at a glance. EnergyCore™ also intelligently recognizes connected devices and automatically optimizes power delivery with multiple charging modes, while Vention’s FlashCore™ technology supports all major fast-charging protocols for broad compatibility across both the latest devices and older electronics including PD 3.1, QC, PPS, UFCS, and more.

For users who are often on-the-go, the Dash Pro 140W 4-Port GaN 5.0 Charger with Smart Display features a versatile 3C1A configuration capable of charging up to four devices simultaneously. And whether used at home or abroad, adaptive voltage support (100V–240V) automatically adjusts to regional power standards, while its foldable plug design makes it an ideal travel companion. The charger also features a reinforced plug structure engineered to provide a more secure fit in wall outlets, reducing the tendency for larger multi-port chargers to loosen or tilt under their own weight.

Available in Titanium Gray and Titanium Silver, the Dash Pro 140W 4-Port GAN 5.0 Charger with Smart Display combines premium performance with a refined Red Dot Award winning design.

Marking a Defining Moment for Vention by Charting a New Chapter for Portable Power

The launch marks a defining milestone for Vention. After years of powering many of the industry’s leading portable battery brands as an OEM manufacturer, the company is stepping into the spotlight with its own unique vision for the future of portable power. Built on a foundation of in-house engineering and product innovation, Vention is reimagining the category by making battery technology more intuitive, more engaging, and more seamlessly integrated into everyday life. In doing so, it aims to transform portable power from a purely functional device into one people choose not only for its performance, but as a product that reflects their lifestyle and personal style.

At IFA 2026, Vention is also launching a series of new products including Vention 2-in-1 Retractable Charging Cable, Vention 7-in-2 USB-C Plug-in Docking Station, and the Vention SpotTag Pop Dual-Mode Smart Bluetooth Tracker.

Rho Launches Card Payments on Invoices, Letting Businesses Accept Credit Card, Debit Card, and Google Pay

Rho Invoicing customers can now accept credit card payments on invoices alongside ACH and wire, from the same account they already use for banking, with invoices syncing automatically to QuickBooks Online

NEW YORK, Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Rho, the all-in-one finance platform for businesses, today announced that Rho Invoicing customers can now accept credit and debit card payments, including Google Pay, directly on their invoices. The feature is rolling out to eligible Rho Invoicing customers and adds to the existing ACH, domestic wire, and international wire options already available on Rho invoices. No separate merchant account, no new dashboard, and no waiting on a wire.

Here is how it works for the payer: your client opens the invoice, enters their card information, and pays in a few clicks. Card payments carry a processing fee of 2.9% plus $0.30 per transaction, paid by the business issuing the invoice and deducted from the payment before depositing into your account. Inbound ACH and wire stay free, and the payer never sees a surcharge at checkout. Card payments cover USD-denominated invoices and have a default daily limit of $10,000 across all of a business’s invoices, which can be raised on request.

An invoice is marked paid once the payout is initiated, and funds follow on card-network timelines rather than instantly. A business’s first card payment can take up to two weeks to deposit while Stripe, which powers Rho’s card payment features, completes its initial review.

Rho Invoicing remains free for all Rho customers, aside from card processing fees, and supports up to 100 line items per invoice with per-line sales tax, recurring billing, payment matching, and a fully white-labeled template that carries the business’s brand rather than Rho’s, with virtual account numbers that keep the business’s actual bank details private. Rho invoices sync into QuickBooks Online as accounts receivable through Rho’s direct integration, so AR aging stays accurate without duplicate entry.

Card payments run through the same Rho account a business already uses for banking, corporate cards, and bill pay. No merchant account. No second dashboard. No new password to add to a growing list. Getting paid should not add another tool to the financial stack.

Availability is limited to eligible Rho Invoicing customers for USD-denominated invoices. Access to and enablement of card payment functionality requires completion of Stripe’s verification process and is subject to third-party underwriting and approval, which is not guaranteed.

Published

Amwell® is transforming virtual care delivery through its unified Amwell Platform, combining interoperability, clinical integration, and intelligent orchestration to improve access, efficiency, and outcomes.

SAN ANTONIO, Sept. 4, 2026 /CNW/ — As healthcare organizations move beyond fragmented telehealth solutions toward connected virtual care models, Amwell is helping redefine how digital care is delivered at scale. Frost & Sullivan is pleased to recognize Amwell with the 2026 United States Technology Innovation Leadership Recognition in the Technology-Enabled Care Platforms industry for its ability to address healthcare fragmentation through a unified platform that connects patients, health plan members, clinicians, and partner ecosystems across the care continuum.

Frost & Sullivan evaluates companies through a rigorous benchmarking process across two core dimensions: strategy effectiveness and strategy execution. Amwell excelled in both, demonstrating its ability to align strategic initiatives with evolving healthcare needs while executing with flexibility, scalability, and measurable customer impact. “The combination of reliability, flexibility, and clinically integrated workflows positions the Amwell Platform as a strategic enabler for organizations seeking to reduce fragmentation, improve member engagement with covered programs, expand access to care, and create more connected healthcare experiences,” said Sagar Mukhekar, Industry Analyst, Frost & Sullivan.

Guided by a strategy centered on connected care, interoperability, and continuous, digital innovation, Amwell has positioned the Amwell Platform as an operating layer for next-generation healthcare delivery. Rather than relying on disconnected point solutions, the platform integrates technology, services, and clinical intelligence to orchestrate personalized care experiences across virtual primary care, urgent care, behavioral health, chronic condition management, and specialized digital programs.

Backed by 20 years of technology-enabled care innovation, more than 90 million covered lives, and over 38.7 million virtual visits, Amwell continues to help health plans and healthcare organizations modernize digital care delivery at scale.

“As healthcare becomes more digital, it risks becoming more fragmented. Health plans need more than point solutions. They need enterprise infrastructure, clinical integration, and an open platform that brings partners and programs together. Our vision at Amwell is that technology creates value when it improves access, engagement, quality, and efficiency, and produces measurable clinical and business outcomes. We’re honored by this recognition from Frost & Sullivan,” said Dan Zamansky, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Amwell.

Amwell’s enterprise scale includes supporting the digital transformation of the Defense Health Agency’s Military Health System, serving approximately 9.6 million beneficiaries. The company’s commitment to measurable outcomes is also reflected in a landmark National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)-funded study, published in Nature Human Behaviour and among the largest studies of its kind. The study found that students offered SilverCloud® by Amwell® engaged in mental healthcare at more than double the rate of traditional care, experienced lower rates of mental health disorders, and generated an estimated $1.18 million in avoided costs for the study population.

The company further differentiates its platform through intelligent orchestration and navigation, helping guide members to appropriate programs while giving clinicians visibility across care plans. Amwell also evaluates integrated third-party programs for clinical effectiveness, scalability, and enterprise readiness.

Frost & Sullivan commends Amwell for setting a high standard in competitive strategy, execution, and technological innovation. The company’s unified approach to digital care is helping reduce fragmentation, improve access, strengthen operational efficiency, and support more equitable and sustainable healthcare delivery.

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents the Technology Innovation Leadership Recognition to a company that demonstrates outstanding strategy development and implementation, resulting in measurable improvements in market share, customer satisfaction, and competitive positioning. The recognition identifies forward-thinking organizations that are reshaping their industries through innovation and growth excellence.

Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Recognition

Frost & Sullivan’s Best Practices Recognitions honor companies across regional and global markets that exhibit exceptional achievement and consistent excellence in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer experience, and strategic product development. Each recognition is the result of a rigorous analytical process in which Frost & Sullivan industry experts benchmark performance through comprehensive interviews, deep-dive analysis, and extensive secondary research. The goal is to identify true best-in-class organizations that are driving transformative growth and setting new industry standards.
