The smartphone industry has been making a lot of progress in terms of technological enhancements since past few years and the one of the most crucial area of advancement is for the battery technology.
We have heard about smartphone companies planning to adopt graphene batteries but none of the companies have actually used in its their devices so far. But it seems that the situation could change really soon.
Real Graphene, a US-based company is working on graphene-enhanced battery cells which the company says is almost ready for mainstream commercial use. As for the benefits of the graphene battery, it is claimed to get charged really fast.
As per Samuel Gong, CEO of Real Graphene, while the regular phone batteries take about 90 minutes, sometimes a little quicker, to recharge, the Real Graphene cell is much faster, with a full charge of a 3,000mAh cell taking about 20 minutes using a 60W charging.

He also adds that while most phone batteries can manage between 300 and 500 charge cycles, Real Graphene’s batteries can last about 1500 cycles for the same capacity, and because the cell generates much less heat it runs much cooler, it’s safer too.
The company says that it provides a complete battery solution to its clients, including battery and the special chipset that’s required for charging. It believes that since the Real Graphene battery still uses lithium, the enhanced version would be a simple swap for manufacturers.
While the company is yet to sign deal with smartphone manufacturers to power smartphones with graphene-based batteries, it has started selling Real Graphene power banks which can be purchased through Amazon.
