Second small battery in a smartphone

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the feasibility of incorporating a second, compact battery in smartphones, specifically one that could store an additional 30% of the energy capacity of an iPhone's primary battery. Participants express skepticism about the availability of such technology, particularly regarding the size and energy storage capabilities. The mention of biological semiconductors raises questions about their practicality and existence in current technology. Overall, the consensus indicates that while innovative solutions like portable chargers exist, a second internal battery remains unfeasible with current advancements.

Hi guys,

I'm Chris from Germany. First of all, I'm not an expert in science, biology or electrical engineering. But i would have this question to experts, that's why I'm here. Sorry if my question will sound "dumb" or "easy" but as i said, i don't have any knowledge in this field.

Is it possible, to have a second battery in a smartphone which can store energy for power and is really really small? For instants, this battery can store 30% of the basic battery energie volume in an iPhone.

Is something like this avaible? I read some stuff about biological semiconductors, but as i already said, no experience and know-how at all.

I hope i don't bother you guys.

Thanks in advanced and best,
Chris

I don't know about an extra battery small enough to fit inside the phone that will be capable of holding 30% extra energy from full charge; however, I have seen some folks build a portable iPhone charger for next to nothing, and they weren't even engineers, so it's really not all-that difficult to do.
As far as biological semiconductors, I've never really heard of such things; not saying they don't exist, but, I've never of 'em. Perhaps someone else could enlighten us.
