Chinese LionKing800 cellphone claims 1-year standby

by Thomas Ricker, posted Mar 13th 2008 at 5:08AM

We have no way to confirm the claim, nevertheless the LionKing800 boasts a remarkable 365 days standby or 3-5 days talk. The source of that power is a 16,800mAh lithium battery -- that's about 10x the juice of a standard cellphone battery. Take that Philips! As to the rest of the specs, the GSM900 / DCS1800 dual-SIM phone costs $145 and packs a 3.5-inch, 320 x 240 pixel display, 256MB of microSD memory, Bluetooth 2.0, and a pair of rear and front-facing cameras into a 120 x 65 x 20-mm, N95ish shell. Picture of the battery after the break.

If that's a 16,800 mAH battery, then I just ate the moon.

No. Much rather, they're gonna make a fake world and eat that.

Etymologically the two words mean pretty much the same thing :D

No way the battery has that capacity. Lithium content density would require a much much larger battery to get 16800 mAh... at 4.2V (on the label), that yields a little over 70Wh. The largest laptop batteries on the market right now top out around 96Wh and are much much larger. See: http://www.apc.com/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=UPB60-CN for a 68Wh battery - 10" x 6.5" x .6".
