HD-Energy® batteries capable of 90% charge in 15 minutes and with
increased energy density
Enevate
Corporation, a technology leader in Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries,
announces ultrafast charging for their batteries with HD-Energy®
Technology. Enevate’s ultrafast charging feature has been
demonstrated to provide a 90% charge in 15 minutes (4C charge rate)
while increasing energy, capacity and performance when compared to
today’s conventional Li-ion batteries.

Headquartered in Irvine, California, Enevate
has developed advanced Li-ion batteries based on new materials and cell
designs with significantly higher volumetric and gravimetric energy
density in thinner and lighter form factors, and with significantly
higher charging rates than current conventional Li-ion batteries.
Enevate’s novel HD-Energy
Technology utilizes silicon-dominant composite anodes for
rechargeable Li-ion polymer batteries which dramatically increases
energy density by 25-50% over conventional graphite anode cells – giving
over a decade of technology advancement as compared to the current rate
of improvement of Li-ion technology. Enevate’s new batteries enable
smartphones, tablets, ultra-thin notebook PCs, and drones with longer
runtimes in less space and weight.
“Enevate
continues to add new performance tiers to our technology. Ultrafast
charging is another Enevate breakthrough,” said Brian
Wong, CEO of Enevate. “Now you can charge your phone in the time it
takes to get a cup of coffee – and also have more energy and capacity
too.”
“The charge rate of Enevate batteries can be 5-10 times faster than
conventional batteries due to multiple reasons, including faster
kinetics of silicon,” said Dr.
Benjamin Park, Founder and CTO of Enevate. “Enevate’s
unique silicon Li-ion batteries deliver both ultrafast charging and high
energy density at the same time. The batteries are resistant to lithium
plating during charging which allows for cycle life to be maintained
even with high charge rates.”
For example, a 3000 mAh Enevate battery with HD-Energy
Technology using a 12 Amp charge (4C rate) achieves 90% capacity in
15 minutes with no degradation in energy or capacity. Using a 6 Amp
charge (2C rate), the same 3000mAh Enevate battery charges to 90% in 25
minutes.
“Our customers have found ultrafast charging at this speed to be highly
valuable to differentiate their mobile devices and are excited to
quickly implement this feature into their products,” said Jarvis
Tou, Executive Vice President of Marketing and Products at Enevate. “Enevate’s
batteries and technology change how people will use their mobile devices
while enhancing their device capabilities.”
