IRVINE, Calif. -- (BUSINESS WIRE) --
Enevate Corporation, a technology leader in Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, announces its unique eBoost™ Feature for their batteries with HD-Energy® Technology.
The eBoost Feature immediately delivers up to 25% additional energy when needed for infrequent on-demand situations. Enevate’s HD-Energy Technology already delivers up to 25% higher energy density for everyday use in smartphones, tablets, ultra-thin/hybrid notebook PCs, and wearables. With the eBoost Feature activated, Enevate batteries now have up to 50% more total battery capacity versus a conventional battery of the same size.
Enevate’s new eBoost Feature allows a mobile device that is running low on battery capacity an on-demand option to access an additional 25% reserve capacity available in the battery. For example, an Enevate battery with HD-Energy Technology can deliver 4000 mAh capacity compared to an identical sized conventional Li-ion battery of 3200 mAh capacity, both with a 3.3V shutdown voltage where the device’s fuel gauge would normally show empty. When the eBoost feature is activated, up to 25% additional capacity in the battery below the 3.3V shutoff voltage would be allowed to discharge for a total of 4800 mAh.
“This Enevate eBoost product feature is like having the capabilities of an external USB power pack, but having it fully integrated and immediately available without increasing the size of the mobile device,” said Jarvis Tou, Executive Vice President of Marketing and Products at Enevate. “Applications also include automatic boosting of the available battery capacity for urgent situations where extended battery life is demanded, such as remote GPS location tracking or emergency calls.”
Enevate’s HD-Energy Technology provides significantly higher energy density Li-ion batteries by utilizing a novel silicon-dominant composite anode film that has four times the energy density of conventional graphite anodes commonly used. This enables cell designs today up to 700-800 Wh/L core energy density. The eBoost Feature can increase this to over 900 Wh/L.
“By enabling discharges down to a lower voltage for less-frequent on-demand needs, our HD-Energy Technology utilizing a silicon-dominant anode can deliver up to 50% more capacity than conventional Li-ion technologies,” said Dr. Benjamin Park, Founder and CTO of Enevate. “Conventional Li-ion batteries cannot deliver this capability as almost all their energy is exhausted after discharging to only 3.3V.”
