New Battery Can Charge Your Phone In 60 Seconds

A breakthrough discovery!

 

 

A team of scientists from Stanford University achieved a remarkable feat by creating a revolutionary battery capable of fully charging a smartphone in just 60 seconds.

 

Unlike traditional lithium-ion batteries, these new aluminium-based batteries showed promise as a safer alternative, eliminating the occasional risk of combustion. The ground-breaking invention allowed for approximately 7,500 successful phone charges and recharges, far surpassing the capabilities of existing aluminum battery technology, which typically lasted around 100 charges.

 

At the time, lithium-ion batteries could only manage around 1,000 charges. Professor Hongjie Dai hailed this achievement as a potential game-changer, hinting at the possibility of a transformative shift in how consumers approach phone chargers.
