Cell Phone Battery

Early cell phones were very heavy and bulky devices, mainly due to the batteries that were available at the time. The amount of power these phones required necessitated a large cell phone battery, and even then the talk time was extremely limited. By the 1990’s, advances in cellular technology as well as battery technology resulted in a much smaller phone.

Digital computer chips and a smaller cell phone battery are what made the cellular phone a much more plausible idea for mass use by the population. Reducing the size of the phone from what was lovingly called “the brick” to a lightweight phone that was small enough to fit in your pocket created a huge boom in the market. These second generation phones (2G) made the cellular communications industry the powerhouse that it is today.

Cell phone battery technology continues to improve in order to meet the demands of tomorrow’s mobile phones. Lithium-ion and lithium-polymer batteries are already being used in many third generation phones (3G) and are proving able to hold a charge for a much longer period of time than the batteries of just a few years ago. This trend will undoubtedly continue as cell phones become more technologically advanced.
