Fast
Charging batteries have been unveiled during an event in Japan, last week at
the 56th Battery Symposium in Nagoya. Huawei showed its fast
charging power-packs through videos at the Symposium. Two batteries, one of 600
mAh power and another of 3000 mAh power were demonstrated in the videos. The
former one charged up to 68% in two minutes and the latter one can be charged
up to 48% in five minutes. Upon said charging power, these batteries would
offer 10 hours of calls on Huawei phones.
It has not
yet been announced by Huawei that when they would actually launch these super
charging batteries, but yes, they do say that these lithium-ion batteries would
charge ten times more speedily than the regular ones. They can reach up to 50%
with merely 5 minutes plug in time.
These
batteries have been built in Watt lab, which is a part of Huawei’s Central
Research Institute in China. They do not cause any decrease in long-term
battery life or energy density because of the increased charging rate.
The
officials at Huawei have said that, “Huawei is confident that this breakthrough
in quick charging batteries would lead to a revolution in electronic devices,
especially with regard to mobile phones, electric vehicles, mobile power
supplies and wearable devices. Soon, we will all be able to charge our
batteries to full power in the time it takes to grab a coffee!”
It has not
yet been revealed by Huawei that how soon, these batteries will make their way
in the market. But it has been pointed out by tech critics that it might be a
while before these batteries are put to commercial use because of the bulky
accessories, shown by Huawei in the videos, required to charge the removable
battery. Still, no matter when it comes out, this definitely is a groundbreaking
step by Huawei, which will completely revolutionize the future technology
scenarios.
