There is nothing more disappointing to gadget users than having a device with drained out battery. Today’s digital gadgets comes with colourful display and able to execute multiple applications at the same time, thus consuming more power compared to monochrome and non-interactive devices.

In average, a normal battery for a mobile phone can last for one day with average use which includes phone calls, WiFi, 3G and many others. But the latest discovery in battery technology by researchers at Stanform University could be the solution and may impact the digital industry in years ahead.

The researchers has found a way to built a longer lasting battery with the use of lithium-sulfur that may replace the lithium-ion technology that is largely used in batteries today. The development has been initiated since 2007. Recently, their efforts were rewarded after they successfully created a battery that lasts 4 times longer than the lithium-ion batteries and also ‘greenier’, making it safer than today’s batteries which has the risk of explosion due to short-circuit.

Even though it’s still way off from commercially produced, the lithium-sulfer batteries promise advances of over 80% capacity and 10 times the power density compared to today’s batteries – allowing it to last longer.The latest technology will compliment the mobile technology that is vastly improved. We have WiFi, 3G as well as 4G connectivity for mobile devices, but we have yet to find a way to keep our gadgets powered up for more than a day without the need of charging it. Could this be the end of the quest?.
