Is it really possible to charge a mobile battery in just one minute? Yes, it might sound a bit science fiction, but it is actually possible! This is exactly what an Israeli company has recently demonstrated with its new charging system that promises to charge your mobile up to 20 times faster than a standard charger.
StoreDot, as the company is called, has produced a video from their laboratory that demonstrates the super charger’s capabilities, made possible using a lithium-ion battery. Depending on the model (and their various chargers) a mobile can be fully charged within a mintute (or at the most six, which still doesn’t seem too bad either, right?)
As you can see from the video example, the battery of this smartphone is charged in just 30 seconds!

They’ve called this technology x20 (being 20 times faster than any standard charger). If it were on the market now, it would cost around $60, available for the certain smartphones that accept the specific adaptor. Although not available yet, StoreDot plans to introduce them to the market for certain smartphones by 2017, and hopes to make them available for a wider range of models by 2018. Watch this space!
