Amperex Technology Limited, better known by the acronym ATL, is a company dedicated almost exclusively to the development and manufacture of batteries. Although perhaps by its name it is not well known, just tell you that it is one of those in charge of the manufacture of the batteries installed in the Samsung Galaxy Note 7. Before you stop reading, specifically the Note 7 that is They sell in China and they don't have any problems.
Now that you breathe a little more calmly, tell you that ATL has just surprised practically everyone with the presentation of a new battery capable of supporting 40W fast charge which allows it to be charged from an initial state in which the level is at 0% charge to full or 100% charge, in just 34 minutes.
ATL introduces a new 3.000 mAh battery that can be fully charged in just 34 minutes.
As mentioned in the statement issued, this new battery will be available in three different sizes, the largest being the 3000 mAh. According to the tests carried out, this model can be charged up to 80% in just 17 minutes, completing its charge in 34 minutes. To avoid problems and scares, the levels have been modified so that 80% is charged in 25 minutes, reaching the full charge in 40-50 minutes.
Finally, it should be noted that those responsible for ATL have stated that fast charging will in no way shorten the useful life of the battery, so it will continue to offer some 500 charge cycles as in the vast majority of batteries that we can find on the market today. As a detail, it should be noted that, always according to ATL, after 700 charge cycles the battery should still offer a performance of 80%.
