Panasoni announced its latest development in the battery innovation - bendable battery. Panasonic will be showing its bendable battery next week at the CEATEC technology expo Japan.
As per the reports, Panasonic unveiled its new lithium-ion bendable battery designed for the card-type and wearable devices such as watches and fitness bands. This is a major development by Panasonic in battery manufacturing. According to Panasonic, bendable battery has wide areas of applications.
According to Android authority, Panasonic bendable battery may be twisted up to 25 mm radius and up to a turn angle of 25 degree. Panasonic claims that the bendable battery can be twisted and turned 1000 times causing zero damages and loss of energy in the battery. The secrets on bendable bettery development are not revealed and it is reported to be under the patent.
Panasonic claims that it has done such a development that can omit the current battery damaging problems when the devices are subjected to twist or turns. The bendable battery by Panasonic is reported to be 0.022 inches thick.
Current development is reportedly made only to hold small charges between 17.5mAh and 60mAh each. Panasonic claims that the current development has custom designed a laminated outer layer to prevent leakage and over-heating, and newly developed internal structure.
The reports suggest that Panasonic is looking to prepare bigger capacity batteries. The current development is claimed to have enough charge to power the devices like the pieces of smart clothing, smart cards, and key cards. Panasonic will start shipping bendable battery samples by October's end.
According to Fox News, CCS Insight analyst Ben Wood said that along with Panasonic, other consumer electronics companies like Samsung and LG are in race for the development of bendable batteries, displays and other items in-order. The aim is to bring flexibility in future devices.
Along with bendable battery as by Panasonic, the tech market expects bendable smartphones and other electronic devices. Stay tuned for more updates.
