In addition to recharging a cell phone in 7 minutes, the portable charger made of graphene can be recharged in just 27 minutes, withstands more than 2,5 charge cycles, or about seven years of daily use

Elecjet, a small company that has carved a niche using graphene in adapters and power supplies. The company launched its first graphene battery in 2019 and now it's back with the Elecjet Apollo Ultra, which claims to be the world's fastest charger that doesn't overheat, reaching a maximum of 43°C.

Elecjet, Apollo Ultra's new battery, uses graphene to dramatically speed up charging. Yes, graphene, that miracle material that has long promised to change the world, allows this portable 10.000mAh battery to charge from zero to full in less than 30 minutes, about five to six times faster than a conventional power bank from same capacity. Turn it on when you wake up and Apollo Ultra should be fully charged by the time you leave the house.

Graphene is a highly conductive network of carbon just one atom thick. Pure graphene batteries are still too expensive to mass produce, but the material can already accelerate the charging characteristics of traditional batteries when applied to an electrode in composite form. That's the approach Elecjet is taking with its new 10.000mAh (40Wh) battery released for $65.

In addition to a faster charge rate, Elecjet says the Apollo Ultra will last for over 2.500 charge cycles

In addition to a faster charge rate, Elecjet says the Apollo Ultra will last over 2.500 charge cycles, or about seven years of daily use, before the battery dips below 80% health. That's about four to five times longer than conventional lithium-ion batteries, which would be good for both your wallet and the environment.

The Elecjet Apollo Ultra is a lithium-polymer battery that has been enhanced with Real Graphene USA's proprietary battery technology. It is equipped with two USB ports: one full-size USB-A and one USB-C PD 3.0. The USB-C port accepts up to 100W input for quick battery charging.

That port is then capable of sending 65W out, making it powerful enough to power many USB-C laptops. It supports Samsung's PPS fast charging technology and contains enough power to charge a typical phone two or three times. The USB-A port is capable of 18W maximum output.

That's fine, but battery charging speed is what we're all here for, and Elecjet says the Apollo Ultra, in addition to recharging a cell phone in 7 minutes, the portable charger can be recharged in just 27 minutes when connected to a powerful charger. 100W wall lamp.

Chinese phone makers are currently engaged in a fast-charging race of their own

Chinese phone makers are currently engaged in a fast-charging race of their own. The new 11T Pro from Xiaomi it has a 5.000mAh battery that charges from zero to 100% in just 17 minutes with its bundled 120W charger. But this battery is a dual cell design, allowing both halves to charge simultaneously. That's fine for $500+ phones with high-end chipsets that aren't constrained by USB-C PD restrictions. However, Elecjet matches that 17-minute charge with its other graphene-enriched battery, the 5.000mAh Apollo Traveller.

That's right — the Apollo Ultra isn't the first graphene hybrid battery available to buy. In addition to Elecjet's offerings, Chargeasap makes a number of hybrid batteries, including a monster 20.000mAh battery that's also pegged to graphene, only with more ports, a wireless charging surface, and a higher 100W output. The company says it will charge from zero to full in 70 minutes, which sounds about right as it holds twice as much.

These hybrid batteries are an impressive first step for manufacturers on the road to developing the tiny, high-capacity, eco-friendly pure graphene batteries we've been promised.

For now, the charger is being sold through crowdfunding and can be delivered anywhere in the world for US$65, about R$355 in direct conversion.
