#lithium battery

Hopefully, these concerns will soon be addressed thanks to researchers who have developed a new lithium battery that could last longer. Lithium ion batteries (the ones inside your smartphones right now) are currently limited and in fact, leave out a large amount of untapped energy. What researchers from Stanford did was to create a technique that harnesses better lithium cells. To get more scientific about it, it “allows for denser, more efficient lithium in the battery’s anode by using a nanoscopic carbon shield that keeps unstable chemicals in check.” This, according to the source, results to a longer battery life that doesn’t decay easily while still remaining to be relatively safe. One of the people involved in the research mentions that a handset carrying these new lithium cells could have two to three times more battery life than an average phone. This particular model looks like a large AA battery with a curved mid-section. The ports are found at one end of the battery -- a micro-USB port for charging the battery itself and a regular USB port for charging any other device from the battery. The aMagic battery has a maximum charge capacity of 2600mAh which is pretty decent for its size and weight.
