Xiaomi is developing a 7500 mAh battery with 100W charging power

Xiaomi was once the first company to release a smartphone with more than 200 watts of wired charging power, but now it’s shifting its focus to building higher-capacity batteries, instead of chasing the dwindling benefits of ever-higher charging speeds.
At the time, Xiaomi was the first company to release a smartphone with more than 200 watts of wired charging power.
The Chinese manufacturer is developing technology that would allow a 7,000mAh battery with 120W charging or a 7,500mAh battery with 100W charging to be installed in a smartphone, Digital Chat Station reported on its Weibo channel.

Below are all the combinations being considered at a research center in Nanjing Science and Technology Park, China.
Capacity | Charge | Full charge | |
5000 mAh | 120W | 18 minutes | |
5500 mAh | 100W | 34 minutes | |
6000 mAh | 120 W | 30 minutes | |
6500 mAh | 100 W | 100 W | 49 minutes |
7000 mAh | 120 W | 40 minutes | |
7500 mAh | 100 W | 63 minutes |
Xiaomi is just one of many companies giving up high speeds for better battery capacity. Honor, vivo and OnePlus are also moving to silicon-carbon cells, which offer higher energy density but not necessarily the fastest charging.
