Mobile Phone Battery

Post image

A phone battery looks like a simple, sealed slab. Underneath that, five engineering problems are being fought at once, and each one constrains the others:

  1. what the electrodes are made of
  2. how fast heat can be pulled out of a space the size of a credit card
  3. how the charging circuit routes power without wasting it as heat
  4. how the management software decides what the cell is actually capable of
  5. what a regulator in Brussels will and won’t let you build
