Better battery life? Huawei says its lithium-ion smartphone cell charges 10 times faster
  • 8 years ago
After building Google's fast-charging Nexus 6P, Huawei is showing off its even faster-charging battery of the future.
Huawei says its 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.
