Huawei works on new lithium-ion batteries capable of charging 10 times faster than normal batteries

Imagine being able to charge a 3,000mAh battery to 48 percent in just five minutes. Existing quick charging technologies have nothing on what Huawei is planning. Huawei presented at the 56th Battery Symposium in Japan new lithium-ion batteries that are said to achieve ten times the charging speeds of existing batteries. Shown in two separate videos, one 600mAh battery can reach 68 percent capacity in two minutes, while the other is the 3,000mAh one that hit close to 50 percent at around five minutes.
The science behind this according to Huawei is it “bonded heteroatoms to the molecule of graphite in anode, which could be a catalyst for the capture and transmission of lithium through carbon bonds.” This helps improve charging speed without decreasing energy density or battery life. For now it’s still a concept but we can’t wait for future smartphones, tablets, smartwatches and the like to take advantage of this technology.
