The new battery can store 355 watt hours in a space of a 2.8mm-thin, 34mm-wide and 58mm-high pack. This will be important becuase next generation 3G handsets can offer applications like video, which will require higher MIPS rates that leads to higher battery consumption or drain, while consumers will demand longer battery life and smaller handsets.

It has been a challenge for the battery industry to scale down battery size, while at the same time obtaining high internal pressure resistance and meeting satisfactory insulation requirements. Samsung SDI was successful in developing an ultra-thin lithium ion battery by employing a new sealing method.

Samsung SDI provides lithium-ion batteries to Samsung Electronics and other major cell phone handset makers. The company will be hoping to export the new lithium-ion batteries aiming at 3G cell phones.

"The newly-developed batteries are as light and thin as polymer batteries. With continued development, we will put these ultra-thin lithium ion batteries on the market sooner than expected", said Mr. Ki-Hoon Ahn, VP of Mobile Energy at Samsung SDI.
