Most smartphone brands are using lithium-ion batteries for their products, especially for their flagships. So, why are lithium-ion batteries so popular? What is special about it? Let’s have a look! 

Lithium-ion batteries: charge quicker, last longer

Firstly, lithium-ion batteries make your smartphones charge easier. You can recharge your device whenever you want without waiting till the phone battery capacity is 0%. This kind of battery operates in charge cycles. Each cycle equals full battery capacity (100%). When you use up 100%, you will finish a cycle. However, you don’t need to deplete all capacity in one use. This cycle can last for days.

For instance, in the first day, you will consume 45% battery life. Then, you’ll fully charge it to 100%. In the second day, you exhaust 55%. This time, you finish a lithium-ion battery cycle (45%+55%=100%). After finishing a charge cycle, your lithium-ion battery capacity will reduce just a slight amount. Meanwhile, when you recharge the previous types of battery to a certain amount, these batteries will decrease gradually and quickly, because they cannot “remember” the capacity.

Secondly, smartphones with lithium-ion batteries will take less time to charge. For the first 80% of your battery capacity, your device will take a small amount of time to reach to that percentage. For the remaining percentage of the capacity, your phone will switch to the “trickle charge”. This process will ease the electrical flow to prolong the battery lifespan.

Lithium-ion batteries: the newest battery technology

Lithium-ion battery technology is now the newest technology in the market. This type of battery is widely applied for smartphones. With this kind of battery, your phone capacity will be charged faster. Your battery life will also last longer and your phone battery lifespan will be extended. So, now you know why many smartphones nowadays use lithium-ion batteries! If you want to know more about smartphones (smartphone parts or how smartphones work), just keep following us!
