How Xiaomi announces new battery tech, 10% bigger capactiy and advanced monitoring

In the same size, the new battery can fit about 10% more mAh and provide up 100 minutes of additional runtime on a single charge. The packaging technology has also been revamped, which has further improved space efficiency. The PCM (protection circuit module) has been angled at 90-degrees and no longer lies flat, ultimately saving some space.

Moreover, Xiaomi has equipped the new battery with a fuel gauge chip that relies on advanced algorithms improving safety and the life span of the cells as it monitors overnight charging. This mitigates the overcharged state when the handset is plugged for too long. Some temperature control using additional sensors are also in place and as we all know, Li-Ion batteries don't like heat that much. However, we don't know how exactly Xioami is able to control the battery's temperatures.

In a short Weibo post, Xiaomi revealed a new battery tech the R&D team has been working on and it should be made available next year. The machine-translated Chinese might be a little bit off but from what we gather, Xiaomi was able to increase the silicon content inside the battery about 3 times and has resulted in more efficient capacity storage.

The first mass-produced batteries of this kind should come around the second half of next year.

Beijing [China], December 11 (ANI): Chinese smartphone maker xiaomi has announced a new battery tech that the research and development team has been working on and it should be available next year.
As per GSM Arena, the machine-translated Chinese might be a little bit off but from what users gather. Xiaomi was able to increase the silicon content inside the battery about 3 times and has resulted in more efficient capacity storage.
The new battery will be of the same size and will reportedly be able to fit about 10 per cent more mAh and provide up 100 minutes of additional runtime on a single charge.
On the other hand, the packaging technology has also been revamped, which has further improved space efficiency. The PCM (protection circuit module) has been angled at 90-degrees and no longer lies flat, which will ultimately save some space.

0% more mAh and offers up to 100 minutes of additional runtime on a single charge. The packaging technology has also been revised, which has further improved space efficiency. The PCM (Protection Circuit Module) was angled by 90 degrees and no longer lies flat, which ultimately saves space.

 

In addition, Xiaomi has equipped the new battery with a fuel gauge chip based on advanced algorithms that improve the safety and life of the cells, as it monitors charging overnight. This alleviates the overload condition if the handset is plugged in for too long. There is also some temperature control with additional sensors, and as we all know, Li-Ion batteries don’t like heat that much. However, we don’t know how exactly Xioami can control the temperatures of the battery.

The first series-produced batteries of this type should appear around the second half of next year.
