British vacuum company Dyson is investing more than £10m in a new type of technology that could double smartphone battery life.
A University of Michigan spin-off called Sakti3 has developed a new type of solid-state battery that can store twice as much energy as a typical rechargeable battery.
As well as boosting the usage times of smartphones, the technology could allow electric cars to drive over 600 miles on a single charge.
Founder James Dyson said: "Sakti3 has achieved leaps in performance, which current battery technology simply can't.
"It's these fundamental technologies – batteries, motors – that allow machines to work properly."
Lithium-ion batteries have progressed little since their introduction in 1991, holding back the development of smaller, longer-lasting gadgets.
Sakti3's battery uses solid lithium electrodes rather than a liquid mix of chemicals to double the amount of energy a battery can store.
The company, which was established eight years ago, also says the batteries are cheaper to manufacture and longer lasting.
Other investors in Satki3 include US car giant General Motors.
