OnePlus in these posts claims that its new battery technology will be more efficient and durable given that its quite energy-dense when compared to currently available industry solutions.

In terms of charging this bigger than usual battery, OnePlus states that it will have 100W fast-charging support.

The new battery has been developed with Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited. (CATL), which is a big player in the EV segment.

OnePlus is expected to launch a number of products at its upcoming launch event in China.
