Charge a smartphone battery almost half in five minutes with Huawei's battery tech
Presently we see almost all mobile phones sticking to walls for charging the batteries and it is a long process because the charging takes hours. Well, here at Huawei the engineers are at work and have produced a method where the mobile phone charging does not remain a time-consuming work. The Watt Lab, the branch of Huawei Central Research Institute, has been successful in developing a battery capable of charging much faster, ten times quicker than the currently used batteries. This development may replace non-replaceable battery system in making the smartphones. The new batteries will also be the sigh of relief for the users in getting rid of time-consuming charging process.
We are finding new generations of smartphone and it is at a very rapid speed that new smartphones are coming with the flood of features whether required or not, whether useful or not but the smartphones are stuffed with them. It is ultimately the battery taking the load of running the whole system along with new features. Presently the manufacturers are concentrating on software upgrades and SoCs to save the battery life or to give it more longevity.
Huawei is working on the different dimension and that is to reduce battery charging time. Its Watt Lab has developed a method and device to achieve this objective. They have demonstrated to have charged 68 per cent in two minutes, whereas currently used standard charger can only charge only two per cent.
Although the clip demonstrates a low capacity battery of 600 mAh only being charged and that is no match for bigger batteries like 3000 mAh. Yet the jump is too big; from zero to 48 percent in just five minutes. Although 600 mAh batteries are too small but the result achieved is too big that is just not possible with currently used a standard charging system.
Huawei gives the detail of lithium-ion batteries as "bonded heteroatoms to the molecule of graphite in an anode, which could be a catalyst for the capture and transmission of lithium through carbon bonds." The explanation is logical but not new; it has been heard before as well. The important aspect is whether the Huawei can make this facility and development available to the users or not. However, the technology is in a development and not finalized for the users having smartphones with bigger batteries.
Huawei is confident that their new super-quick charging device for the battery will not affect the battery in any adverse manner; the integrity of the battery or its overall lifespan. This claim has a challenge of the heating process of battery by rapid charging. However, the claim of such a big entity cannot be refuted straight away and we will have to wait and see the actual performance of the device. If it succeeds, it will be a big achievement for the company and relief for the users.
Certainly it is the requirement of the smartphone to remain alive without any break and keep functioning without interruption. This new development will be a big leap in mobile phone technology and may every have the positive effect on another field where batteries are involved.
