Despite drastic improvements of smartphone battery life, charging up to 100 per cent seems to take forever. However, China-based smartphone manufacturer Huawei claims to have found a way to make smartphone batteries charge 10 times faster.

On Friday Nov. 13, Huawei unveiled a lithium-ion battery that can charge up to 48 per cent in merely  five minutes. The company said during the 56th battery symposium in Japan that the battery has a size of 3000mAh.

They also showed off a smaller version with a 600mAh capacity that can charge up to 68 per cent in a matter of two minutes. To make a comparison, Samsung Galaxy 6 and iPhone 6 use 2550 and 1810 battery mAh, respectively.

Normally, it takes an hour and twenty minutes for a Samsung S6 and two-and-half hours for an iPhone 6 to reach 100 per cent battery life. On the other hand, other mobile phones like Google Nexus 6P take one hour and 37 minutes to be fully charged, while Nokia Lumia 535 eats from two-and-half to three hours of your time for charging.

"Soon, we will be able to charge our batteries to full power in the time it takes to grab a coffee," the company said. They further revealed that the quick charging speed  is due to how the lithium ions are stored and moved inside, through utilizing atoms of graphite bonded in anode.

The company feels "confident" that this will create an impact in battery-operated technology, such as mobile phones, electric cars and wearble gadgets.

It has been reported that several companies are developing lasting batteries. In fact, a British company has revealed that they have created a hydrogen-fuelled cell prototype for iPhone 6, which can reportedly stay without recharging for a week. Other enthusiasts are Energous and Nikola Labs that aspire to develop radio waves-powered batteries.
