Aren’t we all tired of recharging AA and AAA batteries over and over again? Say bye-bye to the rechargeable batteries that you know. Because those could be a thing of the past very soon.
Scientists have explored the next-generation technology that makes batteries smaller, and longer lasting, and capable of wireless charging.
The new battery is called “Thinergy“–it’s an energy storage device that about the same size as a postage stamp and–get this–can last as long as the life of the electronic device it powers.
Thinergy’s maker is Infinite Power Solutions. Timothy Bradow, VP Technical Marketing, Sales & Business Development says, “We have the world’s most powerful battery for its size.”
The battery uses lithium chemistry which is the same as that of an iPhone. But the substance that carries that substance is what makes it special. Thinergy uses a “proprietary solid-state one that has no movable parts, which is partly responsible for its small form factor.”
Bradow adds that Thinergy cells are “4 volts, recharge in minutes and can be cycled (run down to zero) up to hundreds of thousands of times — orders of magnitude higher than conventional batteries.”
