The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 incorporates safer batteries

A few days ago that Samsung presented its Galaxy Note 9 , a phablet top of the range for the most select users. This presentation has not taken us by surprise, because it is already tradition that every month of August Samsung organizes the presentation of this model. Buyers show distrust in the batteries, since its predecessor, the Note 7, was a real danger due to the risk of explosion .

Knowing that the company is in the spotlight for its controversial past with the batteries and deciding this year to incorporate the battery with more milliamps in the history of the Note, it is normal that its reliability is questioned. For this reason, the head of the mobile division of Samsung has stated that Note 9 batteries are the safest in history. His exact words have been:

The battery in the Galaxy Note 9 is safer than ever. Users will not have to worry about batteries anymore.

Samsung's new method of verification of 8 points to check the safety of the batteries.

So as not to trip twice over the same stone and at the same time try to clean up its image, Samsung has published the operation of its new battery verification system. They have baptized this system as "8-point security check" .

This verification system includes the following eight points:

• Durability test. In this phase the battery is subjected to extreme conditions such as overloads, exposure to high temperatures and even punctures.
• Visual inspection. Now there is a phase in which a human team inspects and inspects the batteries visually to verify that there are no defects.
• X-rays. The company claims that it uses X-ray technology to verify that there are no anomalies inside the batteries.
• Load and download test. The batteries are subjected to load and discharge tests to verify their integrity and proper functioning.
• TVOC test. A test is made on the possible leakage of volatile organic materials, which are considered contaminants.
• Dismantling test.
• Accelerated use test in which the battery is subjected to very fast and continuous loading and unloading processes.
• Delta OCV test. In this test it is verified that the battery voltages are correct.

A new disaster with the batteries would be the end of the Note model and maybe Samsung.

The company can not afford another slip with the batteries, both in terms of image and economic. Implementing a system of safety and quality of batteries is a big step for Samsung. Although it must be said that this system should already exist from the moment in which the company decided to manufacture its own batteries .

The top-end mobile segment is increasingly competitive and the race to offer greater autonomy does not stop. While battery technology is moving slowly towards the search for new opportunities, manufacturers are limiting themselves to increasing milliamps .

The problem with current lithium-ion batteries is that they are highly flammable , so there must be safety guarantees. The 4000 mAh battery of the Galaxy Note 9 are not new, since there are phones from lower ranges that have been on the market for several years and have not starred in any show. Only time will tell us how these "new" Samsung batteries behave.
