An Israel based startup, StoreDot claims
to have developed a new battery-technology that claims to charge your
smartphone's battery in 30 seconds. The startup unveiled its battery
prototype at Microsoft's 'Think Next Conference' in Tel Aviv. The
company has developed a charger and a battery. This special charger can
charge an empty Samsung Galaxy S4 battery within 30 seconds! The demo with an S4 battery was given by the startup at the conference.
StoreDot's charger produces chemically
synthesized bio-organic peptide molecules called 'nanodots', that
improves the electrode capacitance and performance, which results in
batteries that can be fully charged within seconds instead of hours. The
technology is cost effective and is inspired by natural processes.
Currently the battery which is the size of a laptop charger, is not
ready for the market. According to Myersdorf, it will take a year for
the company to make a functional prototype embedded inside mobile
devices. The company expects to have the charger ready for production by
2016. The estimated cost of the charger is twice as that of an average
charger which is up to $30.
