Honor unveils the first silicon-carbon battery with 12.8% higher energy density

27 February 2023
This is compared to a standard lithium battery that uses a graphite anode and has the same physical size.

I will appreciate more if someone makes a new flagship phone with removable batteries.

    Anonymous, 27 Feb 2023As long as you don't let them sit for an extended peri... moreIn a lot (most, all) of device battery management systems, they report 0% much sooner than the actual real 0% capacity is reached, some as much as 10 or even 20 percent before the real 0%. This is set to protect the battery from being fully drained, and possibly causing the battery permanent damage... So the way I have been treating my rechargeable devices batteries over the decades has no potential to cause them any damage, and is why I have not experienced any ill effects, as long as the battery management systems keep doing their job...

      A1, 27 Feb 20235,100 / 12.8 = 398.4375 5,100 + 398.4375 = 5,498.4375when you learn maths from tiktok

        [deleted post]Random brand phone user is actually funnier.

        They feel the urge to talk about samsung, even they have never been using samsung product at all.👍

              So, you need to go down 30% in order to get a bit more battery?

                So far so good.
                Would be nice to see if the manage to make same size battery but with double the capacity.

                  It should be 6.8% not 12.8%

                    While increase in density is nice to see, I'd very much prefer batteries that just don't degrade with charging. Or have it so low that after 5 years of any kind of charging, even super fast one, you wouldn't notice the difference. That would be super cool and helpful given how batteries are permanently glued inside 99% of phones. I don't care if phone needs to be charged more often if it can be done quickly and without degradation. Opposed to what we have now that more you charge it and the faster you do it, the more battery degrades.

                    Oppo bragged about battery enhancements, Xiaomi did too, now Honor. But we haven't really seen any noticeable shift in battery tech which hasn't really fundamentally changed for last 15+ years.

                      they didn't use the full capacity its ridiculously you guys didn't understand how battery works 🤣

                          Trooper, 27 Feb 2023"How often do you let your phone dip below 12%?" ... moreAs long as you don't let them sit for an extended period at those lower voltages, you will minimize the risks to battery health. I only run them down past 20% when they need a recalibration. Luckily many BMS won't allow capacity to reach 0, leaving some margin while reporting as empty.

What i was saying is that older batteries with lower capacities are of similar size to newer batteries with higher capacities. for example, the battery from the galaxy note 3, and from the s23 ultra have relatively the same footprint, however the s23 ultra's battery is 5,000mAh while the note 3's battery is only around 3,200mAh
