Technology enables mobiles to charge faster & last longer

The battery is widely viewed as the weakest link in today’s mobile devices. Consumers routinely complain about insufficient run time, slow charging and short battery lifetime. Qnovo breaks through these compromises with an innovative approach to battery charging that delivers faster charging and longer run time without degrading battery lifetime.

“Battery life is the biggest frustration for mobile consumers,” said Steve Holmes, Vice President of New Devices Group,  Intel and General Manager, Smart Device Innovation. “Qnovo has developed technology to make today’s batteries perform better. We look forward to improving the experience of our shared customers.”

Qnovo’s patented adaptive charging is a fundamentally different approach to battery charging methods in place for almost a century. Qnovo software utilises existing computational power in mobile devices to dynamically measure and modify how the battery is charged in order to reduce charge time and mitigate cell damage. Qnovo and its customers have verified battery performance improvement and safety with over four years of rigorous testing.

“Adding investors at the caliber of Intel validates our vision that software can dramatically improve battery performance and benefit all things mobile,” said Nadim Maluf, CEO, Qnovo. “Consumers will see in 2016 new smartphones with Qnovo’s technology. With Intel’s backing, we are primed to extend our compelling battery improvements beyond smartphones into notebooks and wearables.”
