Phone Batteries 10 Times Durable

The design of the phone battery to be ten times more durable became the first target of the research project named Steeper which is now guarded IBM, Infineon and a number of universities in Europe.

Cell phone batteries are not lasting long been a problem in itself. The reason, consumers need to recharge their batteries every day. This is not only a consumer complaint, but cell phone makers themselves, such as Nokia, Apple or Research In Motion (RIM).

Battery technology was no longer meet the power needs of today's smartphones continue to increase. Thus, power management and efficiency become the biggest challenges facing mobile phone vendors in order to give satisfaction to the consumer.

Based on the record of the International Energy Agency (IEA), the average electronic device currently spend about 15 percent of electricity consumption in a household. And energy demand is predicted to soar three-fold by 2030.


His vision is to split up this research in order to allow the manufacturers to make a computer or device utilizing the energy that is not needed during sleep mode. This so-called zero-watt PC.


The scientists will apply the nanotechnology to reduce electricity consumption, costs, and extended battery life gadgets. Steeper project also aims to reduce energy needs from other electronic devices such as TV or computer super-efficient 10 times more active now, and reduce power consumption virtually in a state of standby.
