The Chinese smartphone company Huawei has unveiled their new quick charging lithium-ion batteries at the 56th Battery Symposium in Japan. Using next generation technology, these new batteries have achieved a charging speed 10 times faster than that of normal batteries, reaching about 50% capacity in mere minutes.

Huawei presented videos of the two types of quick charging lithium-ion batteries: one battery with a 600 mAh capacity that can be charged to 68% capacity in two minutes; and another with a 3000 mAh capacity which can be charged to 48% capacity in five minutes to allow ten hours of phone call on Huawei mobile phones.

This is a game changer. Some of the weakness of batteries:

* Cycle wear-out
* Charging time
* Physical size
* Physical weight
* Cost to produce
* Pollution from products or by-products

Now if only this new technology could be made from pasta then some of the other weaknesses could also be addressed.
