Infinix teased its upcoming 180W Thunder Charge system earlier this week, now the company has revealed more details about it. Unlike the 160W ultra-fast charging system we saw last year (which was just a concept), Thunder Charge will hit the market later this year – making its debut on a yet-to-be-called flagship phone. .
The goal for the new 180W charger is to get a 4,500mAh battery at 50% charge in just four minutes. As on the Infinix Note 12 VIP there will be a Furious mode, which recharges at maximum speed, and a Normal mode, which is still fast but keeps the temperatures lower.
Infinix has revealed extensive details about the Thunder Charge system. It will use two 8C batteries connected in series so that each only needs to handle 90W of power. That’s still a lot, so there are several levels of protection and efficiency improvements to minimize heat generation.
First, Infinix partnered with leading battery manufacturers to create a multi-electrode lug design, which reduces the battery’s internal resistance by more than 50%. These two batteries are powered by three charge pumps with 99% conversion efficiency (the best Infinix has used so far). These things reduce the heat generated, but they are not enough to ensure safe operation.
The Thunder Charge system has 111 software and hardware security mechanisms. They are on the lookout for things like high temperature, increased voltage, electromagnetic interference and so on and will stop the charging process if something goes wrong.
There are 20 temperature sensors that monitor the USB port, charging chips, battery, and other key locations. The system aims to keep the phone’s temperature below 43 ° C to reduce battery degradation.
To ensure that the charging cable can withstand the load, Thunder Charge will use a special encryption chip to verify the cable’s authenticity. Other cables can be used, the Infinix charger can also be used to charge other gadgets, however, the power is limited to 60W or 100W in those cases. USB Power Delivery relies on a similar system to check the capabilities of the cable.
Thunder Charge has received the TÜV Rheinland Safe Fast-Charge System certification. The first phones with Infinix’s 180W fast charging system will arrive in the second half of this year.
