New phone batteries will last for a week without charge
Phones these days may be leaps and bounds ahead of what telecommunications once was, but every smart phone user has the same complaint – that battery life is abysmal.
Power company, Intelligent Energy, has recently done a deal with a smartphone manufacturer to bring lasting battery to current handsets.
A small, hydrogen fuel cell could make batteries last up to a week and is so thin it fits inside the existing iPhone6. Fuel cells produce rather than store energy, similar to how eco cars run. It does however mean that phones using fuel cells will need to be fitted with vents to allow the by-products to escape. Where this excess water will go is not yet clear, we just hope it’s not our pockets.
The deal is reportedly worth over 11 million dollars, but the technology company has only revealed it is collaborating with an “emerging operator”.
