- stavros 5y agoDo you know what sort of density and discharge rates they're talking?
- Tade0 5y agoOnly the company's own marketing materials, but as a data point six years ago they partnered with a Chinese phone manufacturer to create a device with an absurd (at the time) 5800mAh battery: https://www.gizchina.com/2015/04/27/bluboo-x550-will-feature-ampirus-battery-and-mediatek-pump-express-plus-for-super-fast-charging/ https://www.gizchina.com/2015/04/27/bluboo-x550-will-feature... They've made some improvements since, but the exact parameters haven't been disclosed.
- stavros 5y agoHmm, that seems interesting, but it's not very specific (Ah/g), so who knows what the actual capacity is... They do mention a 1.25A discharge rate, at least.
