New bendable batteries from Samsung target wearables
The Stripe and Band batteries were introduced at the recent InterBattery 2015 event at COEX, Seoul, South Korea. The Stripe battery is designed to bend and conform freely as a fiber, while the Band battery is a next-generation product that targets smartwatches.
The Stripe battery is capable of adapting to various forms – such as a necklace, hairband, and t-shirt accessories – and contains multiple element technologies that were independently developed by Samsung SDI. Careful use of materials internally and externally yields an ultra-slim 0.3-mm design. The battery also features a higher energy density compared to currently available batteries by minimizing the width of battery sealing.
The Band battery is designed to be applied on the bands of any smartwatch, and will enhance the battery capacity by more than 50% the company says. Samsung SDI has shown that the Band battery is capable of operating normally after being bent more than 50 thousand times within the curvature of human wrist circumference.
