Huawei Fast Charging Batteries To Be Utilized By IPhone7? Rumors Arise!
China based smartphone manufacturer, Huawei shared a glimpse of their latest fast charging battery technology in an event in Nagoya, Japan.
The latest fast battery charging technology developed in Huawei's "Watt Lab," a department in their Central Research Institute, was revealed during the Japan's Battery Symposium. Huawei claimed that their latest technology would charge a smartphone ten times faster than the usual process.
Huawei's latest battery innovation is said to be faster than Samsung's Adaptive Fast Charging and Qualcomm's Quick Charge. The company's battery consists of "bonded heteroatoms to the molecule of graphite in anode, which could be a catalyst for the capture and transmission of lithium through carbon bonds," according to Tech Times.
"Huawei stated that the heteroatoms increase the charging speed of batteries without decreasing energy density or battery life," the report continued.
The battery is a lithium-ion with an anode covered in graphite which allows a battery to charge faster without damaging its capacity or longevity. Huawei fast charging technology will apply to 3,000mAh batteries, which are usually found in tablets or phablet devices, can be charged up to 48% in a span of five minutes. The company's 600mAh battery prototype is capable of charging up to 68% in two minutes, according to Engadget.
Huawei believes that their fast charging battery technology is a "revolution in electronic devices" like, "mobile phones, electric vehicles, wearable devices, and mobile power supplies," according to DigitalTrends.
These batteries have been tested and certified by the company's terminal test department. Although, it might not be available in the market but is subject to change as it was already displayed online.
This fast charging battery technology is rumored to be compatible with Apple's iPhone7, since the company had been getting supplies from "competitors" and equipped iPhones with sensors from Sony. Fans have been speculating that it might not be impossible for Apple to pack iPhone 7 with batteries made by Huawei, according to Tech Times.
