Huawei lithium-ion smartphone battery charges 10 times faster
After building Google’s fast-charging Nexus 6P, Huawei is showing off its even faster-charging battery of the future. Huawei says its new lithium-ion battery’s configuration allows it to charge to half-full in five minutes.
According to Huawei, it has created a new configuration for a lithium-ion battery that allows it to be charged 10 times faster than current batteries, which could give an edge to Huawei’s handsets, wearables and mobile-networking equipment.
Huawei showed off its new quick-charging lithium-ion batteries in a video presentation at the 56th Battery Symposium in Japan last week, demonstrating that a 3,000mAh battery with an energy density of 620Wh/L could be recharged to 48 percent in five minutes. It also showed a 600mAh battery that could be charged to 68 percent in two minutes.
Huawei’s lithium-ion smartphone battery bonded heteroatoms to the molecule of graphite in anode, which could be a catalyst for the capture and transmission of lithium through carbon bonds,” Huawei explained. “The heteroatoms increase the charging speed of batteries without decreasing energy density or HP hstnn-ib45 battery life.
Huawei is optimistic about its discovery, pointing out its use in mobile phones, electric vehicles, wearable devices and mobile power supplies. It said it is aiming to develop a battery that can reach a full charge during a coffee break.
The developments at Huawei come just as Samsung has been throwing its weight behind fast wireless charging as a key feature of its smartphones, to work around battery recharging hassles. It’s even teamed up with Ikea for its range of wireless furniture.
