Samsung is working with batteries of up to 20,000 mAh, triple cells and capable of resisting 1,500 charge cycles
Samsung seems stuck in the past in terms of mobile phone battery and charging technologies. Proof of this is that his top of the range has received as a novelty this year 60W fast chargingwhile the past model was still in the 45Wthis assuming that you do not have telephones with a battery greater than 5,000 mAh. But it seems that the manufacturer is trying to take a big leap as soon as its next ones are ready. 12,000, 18,000 and 20,000 mAh batteries.
Silicon-carbon batteries with up to 1,500 charge cycles and 20,000 mAh
These new silicon-carbon batteries are being tested to withstand up to 1,500 charge cyclesalthough at the moment reports indicate that the largest ones have failed after almost 1,000 charge cycles. It seems that Samsung has work to do to improve this technology if you want to implement it on your phones.
Multi-cell designs to increase capacity
The smallest battery, the 12,000 mAhis composed of two cells. one of 6,800 mAh and 4.7 mm and another of 5,200 mAh and 3.2 mmwhich in combination should not exceed the 9.3mm total width.
The one of 18,000 mAh has a three cell design composed of one of 6,699 mAh 4.2mmone of 6,000 mAh 3.9mm and a third of 5,257 mAh 3.28mm. In total this triple composition go up to the 12.3mmalthough for the test it has been uploaded to 12.8 mm total thickness.
Design and firmware optimization to improve efficiency
The evidence that Samsung are doing are to get a thinner thicknessfor which you will have to redesign the layers between the different cells and their stacking. The tests also include a new firmware for battery management.
Tests have determined that the 12,000 mAh battery can reach 25 hours of screen onwith a phone connected to a 4G network and Wi-Fi. The one of 18,000 mAh is more focused on offering high capacity and resistance.
Possible applications in future foldable Galaxy
Maybe Samsung You can also use one of these smaller, higher capacity silicon-carbon cells for one of his top of the range phones. In any case going over 5,000 mAh would be an achievementand if at the same time it can reduce its size it would be much better for leave space inside that you can fill with electronics.
but these early tests They may not be finished in time for the next one. flagship Galaxy S27 Ultraalthough they may also have a place in folding phones due to his condition double or triple cellphones that also have Samsung with 2 and 3 folds.
