Huawei shows a super-fast charging battery
There was also a 3000 mAh battery, which charged up to 48% capacity in just five minutes. During the event, Huawei unveiled their technology which is said to offer a charge that is ten times faster than that of “normal batteries”.
The new technology, which Huawei promises doesn’t affect battery life, takes advantage of hectometers that are bonded to a molecule of graphite in anode.
The company said in a press release about this discovery, “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”.
The company also demonstrated a smaller, 600 mAh capacity battery that reached 68% in two minutes.
Huawei didn’t say when the fast charging might make its way into commercial products. So, it looks like the Chinese mobile maker Huawei has a solution to this very important problem of any mobile device.
On Friday at the Battery Symposium in Japan, Huawei revealed its next-generation quick change technology.
Quick café stops could quickly recharge the batteries of something other than your brain in the near future. It seems every few months we read about some new advancement in battery tech, only to find it’s not really well-suited for consumers devices. And it’s not purely experimental either – it’s apparently undergone “many rounds of testing, and … been certified by Huawei’s terminal test department”.
Imagine being able to charge your phone in the time it takes you to drink your morning coffee – no more panic because you forgot to actually plug the charger in the wall last night.
If I’m not mistaken, these charging speeds are far superior to competing quick-charge technologies. There is no mention of when we can expect these batteries out of the lab and into phones. There’s no telling when Huawei’s new battery life will hit market (if ever), but it’s an exciting breakthrough none-the-less.
