Samsung SDI has unveiled its new curved battery for wearable devices. The 210 mAh battery is the world’s largest capacity battery in a wearable device and would offer significantly longer battery life compared to its rivals., says Samsung. The Samsung Gear Fit that was launched worldwide last week uses a similar curved battery that promises up to 5 times more battery life.

This uses new battery lamination technology in a tiny cell, that is the industry’s first implementation of a curved design and also uses V-bending technology to increase the capacity through increased energy density in such a compact size.

Lee Kyung-sang, a company official said

As the global market for smartbands is anticipated to expand sharply in the near future, Samsung SDI will continue to make efforts to become the No. 1 player in the smartband batteries market.

Other Korean manufacturer LG has its own division, LG Chem that started mass producing curved batteries for smartphones, watches and glasses with a flexible screen last year. We saw the LG G Flex with a curved battery and the LG Lifeband Touch is also likely to use a curved battery.
