However, these batteries can degrade when they are bent or twisted sharply, resulting in shorter operating time for the devices.022 inches. The thickness of the batteries is roughly 55mm or 0. Currently, the batteries can only hold between 17.5mAh to 60mAh of charge, which can only be used in lower power devices..While Panasonic has released a statement pointing out that the new battery is suitable for use in card-type and wearable devices attached to the body, it can later build bigger flexible batteries for smartphones.Bendable smartphones might soon shape up to be more than just a concept as Panasonic has now developed flexible Lithium-ion batteries.

While the new batteries are not as powerful to power a smartphone, it is definitely a step towards realising the goal to craft bendable smartphones.The company claims the battery can retain its characteristics even after repeatedly bent into a radius of 25mm or twisted to an angle of 25 degrees.Earlier this year, smartphone maker Lenovo first introduced the concept of a bendable smartphone with foldable displays
