Circular smart watches will soon have longer lasting batteries thanks to LG
Smart watches are not everyone’s “cup of tea”, but one thing we all can agree on is they need better battery life. LG has unveiled a new hexagonal battery that is designed to fit circular smartwatches. The batteries are said to not only fit better bringing possibly slimmer smart watches, but also improve battery life.
From ETNews:
Compared to previous rectangular or square batteries for circle Smart Watches, its use of space and degree of freedom in design are much better because its shape is similar to a circle. It can miniaturize products and it can increase battery capacity up to 25%. It is predicted that battery’s life will increase 4 more hours compared to previous ones.
The way the batteries work is by a process called “stack and folding”. This patented process will be able to make different shaped batteries such as a L-shaped battery or a “donut” shaped battery.
LG plans on bringing the hexagonal batteries into mass production by the end of the year.
