"TDK's Innovative Battery Poised to Revolutionize the Smartphone Industry"

TDK Corp., an Apple Inc. supplier, has started shipping a new type of lithium-ion smartphone battery with silicon electrodes that promises to be a game-changer for slim and powerful devices. The batteries, produced by subsidiary Amperex Technology Ltd., offer 10% more capacity than traditional graphite anode batteries and could potentially increase capacity by over 40%. TDK, which holds a significant share of the smartphone battery market, aims for these batteries to represent a double-digit percentage of their smartphone battery sales in the coming years. The new technology is drawing interest from handset makers looking to create ultra-thin devices with unique designs.
