Wildebeest batteries: Samsung has developed a flexible battery for smart watches
After some three years, bending gadgets will cease to be a bug and will become a feature: at the InterBattery 2014 exhibition that took place on October 14-16 in Samsung, Samsung presented the world's first bendable batteries for wearable devices. These batteries are so flexible that they can literally be twisted into a knot - or used as a bracelet, which is important for wrist gadgets.
Flexible stuff
The Samsung SDI division dealing with power supplies and displays, in conjunction with the Samsung Advanced Technology Institute (there is one, it turns out), has developed the basic technology used in batteries. The secret of battery flexibility is that it consists of tiny cells 20 mm long, 3.6 mm in diameter and 10 mAh each.

Koreans are planning to refine the technology in terms of reliability and safety, in order to prepare them for mass production and use in future Tizen smart watches. Samsung has already patented the design and materials of the battery. They will reach mass production within three years.

A year ago, LG Chem, an analogue of the Samsung SDI, announced its plans to create curved and bending batteries. However, in this case, it is expected to enter the market only in a couple of years.
Earlier, Samsung SDI also introduced a curved battery of increased capacity:
The battery capacity is 210 mAh, which is 5 times the volume of the batteries on the market of wrist gadgets, the developers say .
