Qnovo technology appear to
maximize smart phone & tablet battery charge time, With Qnovo technology
you can get full charge in 15 minute charge time, that's so incredible, With
Qnovo’s technology, you can get six hours of phone life from just 15 minutes of
charging — compared to just 1-2 hours from conventional charging. Unlike
"OPPO Rapid Charging" which focus on the charger, using 7 pin
mini USB port as opposed to the five pins that you’d get with a typical micro
USB connector, The two extra pins do contribute to the fast charging
capabilities by allowing for more power to be channeled from the power source,
but that is only a part of the VOOC fast charging process. & different battery
capability to handle much higher current, and on the VOOC charger itself ,
you’ll see that it can output 4.5 Amps – more than double the typical amperage.
This is another factor in providing the huge boost that we get in battery
charging times.
Qnovo is offering a different
solution. Rather than simply reducing the charging current to the “lowest
common denominator” that definitely won’t damage the battery, Qnovo has
designed an intelligent feedback loop that constantly checks the battery’s
status to ensure that it gets the optimal amount of current. Apparently, simply
by simply sending a pulse into the battery, and then registering the voltage
response, Qnovo can work out the battery’s temperature, age, and other factors
that affect charging. By continually polling the battery as it charges, the
current can be constantly tweaked.
The end result, according to
Qnovo, is somewhere between three and six times faster charging — plus your
battery stays healthier for longer, apparently. Qnovo is offering two solutions:
A piece of software (that runs on your phone/laptop) that improves charging
speed, or a special chip that manages your device’s charging circuitry. The
chip is more effective, but obviously it’s easier to get device makers to
install a piece of software on a phone, rather than redesign a circuit board.
Unfortunately this technology
should be available on “some smartphones” in 2015.
