Fast battery charging and wireless charging; two hot trends in mobile and EV

In today's world, you're extremely dependent on your mobile device which runs on a battery and need to be charged every few days if not every day. It takes your extra attention and time so that you don't miss out charging. With the fast charging technology and also wireless charging, mobile phone users are less bothered about reminding themselves about charging their phones. The researchers are working on how to charge a mobile phone in few seconds, that too wirelessly. While these extremely fast-charging solutions is still not out in the markets, but you already have commercially available fast charging technology that can charge your smartphone at 1/3 time of what you normally used to. Fast charging and wireless charging features in smart phones leading to higher profits for high-end smartphone makers. Let's look briefly at the technology behind these two most happening trends: Using high input voltage, lithium ion batteries can be charged 75% faster. This technology requires generation of higher voltage as well as real-time monitoring of the battery so that the higher voltage can be bought down or switched off depending on the batteries temperature, voltage, charging current and other such parameters. Qualcomm's Quick Charge 2.0 is one such technology. Huawei’s proprietary protocol Fast Charger Protocol (FCP) is also a fast charging technology for smartp...
