The Israelis have developed a fast charge technology for lithium batteries that can charge phones for a minute?

On January 9, according to foreign media reports, in less than a minute, the phone's power charge from 0 % to 100 %, this is possible? Israeli startup StoreDot has developed an instant charging technology that can charge mobile phones within a minute.

But you need to install a special battery in your phone. You also need to drill a hole in the phone case, insert the copper plug into the hole and connect it directly to the battery. You need to have a special 200-watt power charger. This charging system quickly charges the phone at 200 times the speed of the current charging method.

StoreDot's laboratory is developing new molecules that can be used to quickly charge lithium-ion batteries. Add a special charger and you can charge your phone in 6 minutes, 1 minute, or even 30 seconds, depending on the charger model you use.

StoreDot's most practical solution is its 50 amp charger, which can fully charge the phone in 6 minutes. It is also known as the "20 times" charger because its charging speed is 20 times that of existing charging technology. "20 times" is the easiest way to charge a phone because it has a pocket wall charger, but to charge a phone faster requires it to be directly connected to the battery and requires a huge charge pack.

The "100 X" charger requires you to increase the power of the charger to 200 watts. But smartphone makers have to drill holes in the back of their phones, which is very different from today's design standards. But imagine that you can charge your phone in half a minute, and you might be willing to pay the aesthetic price.

DoronMyersdorf, the StoreDote CEO, acknowledges that each solution has its flaws and limitations. Even "20 x" chargers require special plugs, which look similar to older iPhone and iPod plugs. Now that the majority of the industry uses USB Type-C universal plugs, it takes a compelling reason for people to re-choose a specialty product.

The "100 X" charger is bigger than the smartphone itself and can never be put into a handbag. StoreDot's solution will result in a $30 increase in the cost of each smartphone, and DoronMyersdorf expects smartphones to be more expensive than $60 after suppliers and smartphone makers increase their prices. For many, that could have a big impact, especially now that smartphone prices are falling.

Mr. DoronMyersdorf said StoreDot had already received substantial funding from smartphone companies, about $66 million. StoreDot is currently developing cheaper charging solutions, but it will take a long time to succeed. It will require regulatory approval and research and development costs will remain high for years to come. He also predicted that the first StoreDot battery would be available in 2017. But by 2018, when this technology begins to be rapidly adopted, StoreDot's charger will be equivalent to the cost of today's batteries.
