Batteries For Mobile Devices.

You are deeply mistaken if you think that your new smartphone, working faster, brighter and connecting at a speed of 4G, will work longer from a one-time charge of the battery. The growth in power consumption in new smartphones is far ahead of the development of battery technology. Battery manufacturers are trying to squeeze the last watts of power from lithium-ion technology, which is already fifteen years old, while device and application manufacturers are only beginning to realize the seriousness of the problem. Omissions equally found by battery manufacturers and manufacturers of mobile devices and applications can lead to a halt of promising innovations due to capacity limitations and consumer reluctance to charge the battery too often.

Previously, you could forget the charger at home and leave for a weekend or a short vacation, and if you did not play games, you had enough battery power on your mobile device to call a taxi and return home. Today, however, we are so attached to chargers that you can see anxious faces of people who have been using access points for a while at airports and cafes.

Switching to the 4G ultra-fast information network in 2013 will contribute to worsening this problem, and many already realize that mobile devices equipped with 4G will have a short battery life. The growth in the power consumption of new technologies embedded in mobile devices exceeds the rate of progress in the capacity of the battery by half, this is noted by many specialists.

This problem is related to the chemical nature of the battery, the system for financing research and development in the world market of mobile technologies, as well as the requirements of people to their mobile devices.

Small innovations are still visible on the horizon. True, it is not known how soon they will manifest themselves and whether these technologies will be large enough to meet the needs of the entire range of mobile devices. In many laboratories of battery manufacturers, investigations of lithium-ion structures continue. University laboratories around the world have begun to study the monatomic structure of graphene, which is capable of storing and giving energy (although using graphene for consumer needs is a very distant prospect). National governments almost do not finance research and development of batteries for consumer needs, instead investing in research and production of batteries for military needs.

To extend the life between the charge cycles of our devices there is an output, it is an opportunity to purchase a spare battery or an autonomous charger. Many battery manufacturers are already producing so-called "reinforced" batteries, the capacity of which can be more than the capacity of a standard battery for this device, several times. The dimensions of these batteries are, of course, slightly larger than the standard batteries for these devices, so these batteries come with a back cover, various colors.

The main producers of this product are in China, and this can be seen as a quality problem, and sometimes security. Therefore, if you decide to purchase a battery for your mobile device, you need to pay attention to the availability of certificates, such as RoHS, CE. Etc. When choosing a reinforced battery, you need to know exactly what this battery is designed for your device, otherwise it may not fit the dimensions and the completed back cover.
