News / Huawei Unveils Phone Battery That Charges From 0 to 48% in 5 Minutes

<p class="detail">If you have a phone battery that barely lasts an hour, here is a good news for you!</p> <p class="detail">Huawei has unveiled a new battery that charges 10 times faster than your normal battery. This new battery operates on a technology that allows it to charge from 0 to 48% in 5 minutes. Known as the <span>quick charging lithium-ion batteries, they were developed by Watt Lab, which were under the wings of the&nbsp;<span>Central Research Institute at Huawei Technology Corporation Limited. The unveil was presented&nbsp;</span>at the 56th Battery Symposium in Japan.</span>&nbsp;</p> <p class="detail">Huawei presented videos of the two types of quick charging lithium-ion batteries: one battery with a 600 mAh capacity that can be charged to 68% capacity in two minutes; and another with a 3000 mAh capacity and an energy density above 620 Wh/L, which can be charged to 48% capacity in five minutes to allow ten hours of phone call on Huawei mobile phones.

Huawei stated that the heteroatoms increase the charging speed of batteries without decreasing energy density or battery life.</p> <p class="detail">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. Although these batteries have not been made available for the market yet.</p> <p class="detail">Source: <a href="http://goo.gl/vgcqBS">Huawei Gorporate Group</a></p>
