SAMSUNG SDI Co., Ltd. rolls out Curved Battery whose capacity is the highest in the world

Mounted 210 mAh curved battery for a
smart band on to 'Samsung Gear™ Fit'.

This accounts for 5 times higher than the
capacities of any smart band battery released so far.


Battery Lamination technologies applied
to micro cell first in the industry to implement Curved.

Through 'V-Bending', energy density heightened, and
the capacity increased.


Growth of the wearable markets on 2018
expected to soar up more than 10 times than on 2013.

 

 

Samsung SDI Curved Battery

 

SAMSUNG SDI Co., Ltd., whose CEO is Park
Sangjin, has disclosed and rolled out the curved battery of the world highest
capacity for smart band in the market, which means that the wearable
electronics era can be realized in full scale sooner than expected.

 

Released for the markets across the world
since the last 11 days, 'Samsung Gear™ Fit' (Gear Fit) of Samsung Electronics
will be equipped with the world highest capacity of 210 mAh curved battery for
smart band which has been developed by Samsung SDI. Its capacity is up to 5
times higher than any batteries mounted to the smart bands rolled out to the
markets until now.

 

The world No. 1 technology level from
Samsung SDI has enabled this dramatic enhancement of battery performance.
Samsung SDI has plemented Curved design suitable for a wearable device by
applying the lamination technologies for the micro battery cell for the first
time in the industry, and 'V-Bending', a brand new innovation, has made it possible
to increase its energy density while extending the battery capacity sharply
regardless of micro size.

 

In addition, this dramatic increase of
battery capacity which is like the heart of the electronics has gone beyond
performance of the existing smart bands and allowed to be embedded the features
to work together with smart phone, tablet and so on and to show the smart phone
text message including text, E-mail, etc. right from one's wrist, which makes
it reasonable such analysis that battery innovation has set ahead in front of
your nose the real clouding based wearable era.

 

ABI, the institute specialized in survey in
wearable electronics area, has expected that the wearable market will continue
to grow rapidly in the future, and show explosive growth by 2018, i.e. 10 or
more times than in 2013.

 



They also said that most of all, the smart
band products will occupy 25%, the largest portion, of the whole wearable
electronics, and will be followed by healthcare electronics as 22% and then
smart watch as 19%.

 

"At this point, the rollout of 210 mAh
curved battery is Samsung SDI's world best technology intensive result."
Lee Kyeongsang, Samsung SDI Communication Team Leader commented, "We put a
step forward first in this industry to preempt the smart band market whose
rapid growth is expected soon, and as all around player, we cannot but move
forward consistently and exert ourselves for marketing, development,
manufacturing and the others to achieve the world No. 1 place in this area.
