Galaxy S24 Rumored To Use A ‘Stackable’ Battery Based On EV Technology, Will Be More Reliable And Provide Multiple Protections

wccftech.com:

For 2024, Samsung is said to switch to EV-type batteries for the Galaxy S24, with the latest information claiming that this component is said to be more reliable than your traditional smartphone battery. One tipster states that the new technology is called ‘stackable’ and highlights several benefits of using it in next year’s flagships.

The word ‘stackable’ means that layers of cathode and anode will be placed on top of one another, as opposed to being wrapped around, according to the illustration shared by Revegnus on Twitter. The image shows that over time, the existing battery manufacturing method known as ‘winding’ endures a lot of stress, which can lead to battery swelling and the cell is also vulnerable to shocks if it is charged and discharged for a long time.

The tweet might explain why Samsung’s older smartphone batteries are swelling only after a few years of use, with the winding method also resulting in shortened runtime and the risk of a battery explosion. With the Galaxy S24 adopting the ‘stackable’ technology, the upcoming flagship series is not expected to go through such problems, instead being more reliable and safe for users.

Short battery life and risk of explosion.

But with the new stackable, no matter how long you charge and discharge, the battery won't swell, is shock-resistant, and has a longer battery life.

It's also much less likely to explode than the old method.

The thread mentions that irrespective of the number of charges and discharges, the new batteries on the Galaxy S24 will not swell, with the cells being shock-resistant and delivering longer runtime. However, all of this comes at a cost, with another Twitter user with the handle @korean_riceball sharing
