Full recharge for your phones five minutes
Can a Batteries really charge a smartphone's or tablet in five minutes?
Technology conference in Tel Aviv: A battery that can charge in under 30 seconds.
A new battery at the technology conference in Tel Aviv can charge smartphones fully in just five minutes. Also, experts claim this technology may be ready to launch later this year or next year.
This technology means shorter phone recharger at home or using a Mobile phone charging station
While at the technology conference in Tel Aviv the CEO of StoreDot, Doron Myersdorf, who recently told the BBC that his special FlashBattery technology will enter production next year.
Also, Doron Myersdorf, claims that StoreDot has similar technology that it says can charge an electric car battery just as fast. Skeptics, however, aren't so sure this technology is ready for primetime.
CCS Insight analyst Ben Wood told the BBC, "Taking risks with battery technology can bite you," Wood is correct. As Samsung's experience with the Galaxy Note 7 showed, batteries can be extremely dangerous, particularly if they're not used in products properly or efficiently.
Fast charging isn't new, though these sorts of speeds are. Qualcomm markets its "QuickCharge" technology with phones that run on its Snapdragon processors. Samsung offers Adaptive Fast Charging on its smartphones. Both of those technologies take about an hour to charge a smartphone battery.
However, StoreDot's original prototype, which CNBC covered in 2014, was supposed to charge a smartphone in just 30 seconds. That's a far cry from the five-minute promise, and it's not apparent what led to the drastic slowdown in charging times.
Furthermore, StoreDot didn't name any of its potential partners, however, it is easy to imagine that the company would have a hard time finding takers, since much of the industry is already working on proprietary fast-charging technologies, and people are now well aware of what happens when batteries fail. This fast-charging technologies could be used in Mobile phone charging station
