Battery life continues to be our biggest concern when it comes to smartphones, laptops, wearables, and electric vehicles, despite the fact that we regularly see exciting battery innovations from all over the world. Some of them might present more sci-fi battery technology that isn't viable in the immediate future, but other breakthroughs could significantly improve battery life on some of our current devices. TDK on Monday announced its newest innovation for CeraCharge solid-state batteries.
After all, iPhone fans might remember rumors last year that said the iPhone 16 might feature solid-state batteries. Those reports made no mention of TDK of this particular type of ceramic battery, but they indicated a change is afoot at Apple. Back to TDK's ceramic batteries, the company explained that its next-gen solid-state battery tech has an energy density of 1,000 Wh/L or 100 times greater than the density of its current solid-state batteries.
