According to a company that developed the technology, the smartphone battery can be charged within five minutes. FlashBattery is designed to fill from empty to full during the time it takes to boil the kettle, about 100 times faster than a regular smartphone. The Israeli company behind the battery first released its technology in 2014, before showing a slimmer figure --Eight months later, they lined up at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Doron Myersdorf, CEO of StoreDot, told BBCNews that mass production will begin in early 2018. The battery has a shorter life span than the current smartphone, but the company believes that the speed at which the battery is charged means that this is not a problem. Myersdorf has previously explained that the company's batteries contain specially synthesized organic molecules, which can react differently. However, Ben Wood, a technical analyst at CSS Insight toldBBC News, said he doubted whether StoreDot could achieve this goal because they needed to solve some problems, such as how hot the battery might get. Any company that can make a breakthrough will change the consumer technology industry, he added. For now, mobile phones that will soon run out of power will worry consumers, which is related to protecting the smartphone battery. According to the popular mechanics principle, this can be achieved by keeping the light, lithium-The ion batteries used in most smartphones charge up to about 50 cents. This is because of the biggest charge of lithium. The ion battery boils down to how many lithium ions are in its two electrodes. The more this type of battery charges, the more its components degrade, and then lose the ability to keep the ions.
