Is it possible to charge your phone from 0% to 100% in less than a minute? Israeli startup StoreDot has developed an instant charging technology that can fully charge your phone in 1 minute . But you need to install a special battery in your phone, drill a hole in the phone case, insert a copper plug into the hole to connect directly to the battery, and have a special 200-watt power charger. This charging system can quickly charge your phone 200 times faster than the current charging method. StoreDot's laboratory is developing new molecules that can be used specifically for fast charging of lithium-ion batteries. Coupled with a special charger, you can fully charge your phone in 6 minutes, 1 minute, or even 30 seconds, depending on the charger mode you use. StoreDot's most practical solution is its 50-amp charger, which can fully charge your phone in 6 minutes. It is also called a "20x" charger because it charges 20 times faster than existing charging technology . "20x" is the simplest charging method StoreDot can offer, because it wears a pocket-sized wall charger, but charging the phone faster requires it to be directly connected to the battery and requires a huge charging bag... " 100x" charger requires you to increase the power of the charger to 200 watts . But smartphone manufacturers must drill holes in the back of the phone, which is very different from today's design standards. But imagine plugging your phone in for half a minute to fully charge it, maybe you might be willing to pay the aesthetic price for it. StoreDot CEO Doron Myersdorf admits that every solution has its flaws and limitations. Even the "20x" charger requires special plugs that look similar to the old iPhone and iPod plugs. Now that most of the industry uses USB Type-C universal plugs, it takes a convincing reason for people to choose special products again. The " 100x" charger is larger than the smartphone itself and it is definitely impossible to put it in a handbag. StoreDot's solution will increase the cost of each smartphone by $30, and after the markup by suppliers and smartphone manufacturers, Myersdorf expects that smartphones may cost $60 more. For many people, this could make a big difference, especially now that smartphone prices are falling. Myersdorf said StoreDot has received a lot of funding from smartphone companies, with about $66 million in financing. StoreDot is currently developing cheaper charging solutions, but it will still take a long time to succeed. It requires various regulatory approvals, and the research and development costs will continue to be high in the next few years. He also predicted that the first StoreDot battery will be available in 2017. But by 2018, when this technology begins to be adopted rapidly, StoreDot's chargers will be comparable to today's battery costs.
