Often, in the hope of not letting a cell phone battery run down, we use unreliable tricks, such as waiting to be discharged until the end and thus prolonging its useful life. Here's a novelty that promises to put an end to this false idea of economy: the new latest generation lithium batteries.
But first it is necessary to know what the batteries that will go down in history are about: the conventional ones. They are also made of Lithium, more precisely of Element ions, what they lack is the lifetime the new battery promises. The conventional one has an approximate cycle of 500 recharges, that is, after this period you notice a decrease in the performance of this battery. In modern models, the number of recharges doubles to 1000, not to mention the advantage that the recharge is done in half the time.
Now think: if you recharge your cell phone every two days, the current battery gives you a two-year lifespan, but with the latest generation battery you prolong this use and you won't need to let your cell phone recharge for several hours followed. They have not yet been launched on the market, they are in the research phase, but they will soon be part of our battery-powered daily life.
