Rechargeable Mobile Smart Battery
System Technology ByuckHae, a battery chipset
venture startup in South Korea, developed the
worlds first cellular phone-use portable
smart battery pack that extends talk-time, or
battery life, of mobile handsets by 800%.
The Mobile Saver MPB 4000, about the size of a
mobile handset, is a large capacity portable rechargeable
battery. The lithium-ion cell pack has power capacity
of 4,600mAh, about fourfold the 1,000-1,300mAh
capacity of regular rechargeable battery of cell
phones. The greater the capacity, the longer the
battery life.
Customers can charge their cellular phones while
on the move, regardless of where they are, with
the pack.
Mobile Saver is a smart battery that displays
how much power remains in the battery pack by
the light-emitting diode (LED) battery power gauge.
Equipped with an in-house developed integrated
circuitmicrochip, MPB 4000 identifies its chemistry
and tells the charger which charge algorithm to
apply while protecting the battery from overcharging,
under-discharging and short-circuiting.
With an estimated lifecycle of 5 years, will sell
at $60.
STB also plans to market the battery pack in Korea
next year through three mobile carriers. It plans
to sell the battery pack at a lower price in Korea.
