The QNS adaptive charging software from Qnovo fully supports the Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 technology and, together, they provide fast charging with long battery life — a big win for users of smartphones introduced in 2016. Specifically, your new smartphone that has a 3,000 mAh battery with an energy density of 550 Wh/l or greater can last two days on a full charge or power an entire day on a 20-minute fast charge. What the QNS software does is model the intrinsic degradation mechanisms of the battery in real time, and modulates the charging current to avoid these degradations while minimizing charge time.
The software product is added by the smartphone manufacturer and enables these batteries to maintain a two-year battery lifetime. It’s so good that companies like Qualcomm are adding it to their new smartphones that use the Snapdragon processor line. It dynamically measures and modifies how the battery is charged in order to reduce charge time and prolong battery lifetime. The product has also attracted the attention of companies like Intel Capital as an investor. Qnovo: www.qnovo.com
