New tech charging up mobile battery market

PHOENIX, USA: Battery life has always been a limiting issue when it comes to mobile electronics. Over the past two decades consumers have consistently complained about usable time with their smart phones, notebooks, etc. Ten years ago the introduction of Li-ion (lithium ion) batteries made a marked improvement in battery life. However, the same complaint continues to plague the mobile electronics industry.

New materials promise to increase the energy density per gram of Li-ion material. It is increasingly important that the industry continues to invest in research and development as our appetite for vehicles and electronics that run on Li-ion batteries continues to explode. Much of the current R&D is focused on reducing the amount of Li-ion material per device while increasing the energy capacity to run that device.

Semico's newest report, Batteries: The Mobile Market, looks at this current state of the industry and answers three important questions:

* How large is the mobile battery industry?
* What new technology can we look forward to?
* In five years, how will the mobile battery market compare with the electric vehicle battery market?
