Why have a curved battery? Good question, and fortunately, the answer
makes a lot of sense. Basically, we've got an awful lot of tech coming
down with pipe with things like curved screens,
not to mention designs that are actually flexible, like some
forthcoming e-readers and watches and such. Having a curved battery is a
necessity for this sort of tech, which is why LG Chem will be
mass-producing them next month. And that's the big news here: we're not
talking about something that's buried in an underground lab somewhere,
or even a prototype: these batteries are going into production, which
means they'll be immediately available for integration into the next
generation of devices.
LG has also created a type of cable battery
for devices that can bend, be worn, be tied in a knot and be submerged
in water. All these new batteries won’t be found on drug store shelves
next to Duracells, but they will offer greater range when creating new
technologies. When an inventor doesn’t need to worry about a traditional
battery space, the possibilities grow exponentially.
