For years, people have been asking for a phone battery that can heal over time. Oppo has finally delivered with their new phone batteries. The new batteries work by using a self-healing technology. This means that if there is an issue with the battery, it will fix itself over time. Oppo says that this feature will help to improve the durability of the battery and make it last longer. This is a big deal for consumers because it means that they won’t have to replace their phone batteries as often. And, since the batteries are self-healing, there is no need to take them in for repairs or replacements. This technology is still in its early stages, but Oppo plans on using it in future models of their phones. So far, the company has released two models with this new battery technology - the R15 and R17 Pro. ..
In a press release, Oppo said, “150W SuperVOOC flash charge features the Battery Health Engine, which is powered by OPPO’s customized battery management chip and includes two key technologies: Smart Battery Health Algorithm and Battery Healing Technology. Together, they improve battery health, safety, and performance by optimizing the hardware and software.”
Using the technology, Oppo says after 1600 charges, the battery will still retain 80% of its original capacity. The company says, “By improving the electrolyte formula, the electrodes are continuously repaired during the battery’s charge and discharge cycles.”
Oppo continued, “This helps in reducing the wear and tear of the positive and negative electrodes of the battery, therefore, enhancing battery performance and extending battery lifespan.”
To put it simply, the way the battery technology charges and discharges extends the battery’s life, so even though you’re hitting incredible charging speeds, you’re not sacrificing the long-term vitality of the battery.
Speaking of speed, the 150W SuperVOOC fast-charging standard can fully charge a 4500mAh battery in 15 minutes. Furthermore, it can achieve a half charge in the same size battery in just five minutes.
The new technology will appear first in a OnePlus phone, though the company didn’t specify what phone would receive it. In the future, the company says it’ll be “integrated into most mid-to-high-end OPPO and OnePlus phones in the future.”
