The days of waiting hours and hours for your smartphone battery to fully charge could be over very soon. Israeli start up, StoreDot, has shown off the technology in a YouTube video which shows a prototype of the bio-organic fast-charging battery tech in action. Prepare to be amazed:As you can see, the battery charges from empty to full in an absolutely ludicrous amount of time. The core concept behind the battery tech is quantum dot technology and has attracted $6.25 million USD in investments already. A commercial version of the product is still some time away, however; the prototype shown is obviously not small enough for a smartphone yet and even StoreDot’s CEO/founder Dr Doron Myersdorf has told TechCrunch “So we are talking about three years for a commercial ready device. So I assume it will be three years before you can actually purchase it on the market.”
While StoreDot’s prototype solution is awe-inspiring, it doesn’t quite address the root problem which is battery capacity. However, at least we know now that if we run out of juice in the future, we’ll be able to be back up and running in just a few minutes. What do you think about StoreDot’s technology? Let us know what your thoughts are in the comments.
