Recently Huawei announced a new next-gen quick charging technology using lithium-ion batteries – one with 600 mAh  capacity that can be charged to 68% capacity in just 2 minutes; and another with a 3000 mAh capacity and an energy density above 620 Wh/L, which can be charged to 48% capacity in 5 minutes. The second quick charging allows 10 hours of phone calls on Huawei mobile phones.

Presented in Nagoya, Japan at the 56th Battery Symposium, Watt Lab, a Central Research Institute from Huawei Technology Corporation Limited, revealed that these new batteries can achieve a charging speed that is 10 times faster than a regular battery. Reaching 50% capacity (more or less) within 2 and 5 minutes.

How is this possible? Well according to Huawei, what they did was to bond the heteroatoms to the molecule of graphite in the anode, which could be a catalyst for the capture and transmission of lithium through carbon bonds. Hence, this increases the charging speed of batteries without decreasing energy density or battery life.

Huawei stated that the new next-gen quick charging technology has already been certified by Huawei's terminal test department. While there is no Malaysia release date or pricing details on any Huawei or Honor phone using this new quick charge technology, this breakthrough will certainly going add a bit more to the next device coming from Huawei.
