Huawei has just taken smartphone battery innovation to the next level with the unveiling of a new battery that the company says can be charged 10 times faster than a normal smartphone battery. The company showcased this battery last week at the 56th Battery Symposium in Japan.
Huawei took to the stage to showcase its innovation. It used two batteries with the first one with 600mAh being charged up to 68% in just two minutes. This was followed by a 3000mAh battery that was charged up to 48% in just 5 minutes. These are both faster than most smartphones that support quick charging can achieve.
“Huawei is confident that this breakthrough in quick charging batteries will lead to a new revolution in electronic devices, especially with regard to mobile phones, electric vehicles, wearable devices, and mobile power supplies. Soon, we will all be able to charge our batteries to full power in the time it takes to grab a coffee!” the company said in a press release.
These batteries work by bonding the heteroatoms to the graphite in the anode and this acts as a catalyst for the transmission of lithium through carbon bonds. With this, energy is transferred much faster without hurting battery life.
At this point, this is just something Huawei has invented and we will have to wait a while before we can see such batteries on smartphones on the market.
