Smartphones with batteries that fully charge in five minutes could be available to consumers next year.
The technology was first shown off in 2015, when Israeli start-up StoreDot demonstrated its FlashBattery at the CES tech show in Las Vegas.
Chief executive Doron Myersdorf told the BBC it is now expected to enter production in early 2018.
However, Ben Wood, a technology analyst at CCS Insight, said he had doubts about the claims.
Mr Myersdorf said he could not reveal which manufacturers were signed up to use the technology.
Some versions of the battery were thicker than most smartphone batteries at the time, but now Mr Myersdorf has claimed it is ready for the market.
"We will charge a smartphone in five minutes," he said.
He added that the technology was in pilot production at two Asian battery makers and that "mass production" was expected to commence in the first quarter of 2018.

'Remain sceptical'

Mr Wood, while remaining unconvinced whether the rollout would happen as quickly as claimed, did admit that if the battery worked as planned, then it could be a major moment in the industry.
"Taking risks with battery technology can bite you," he told the BBC. "I would say that experience has taught me to always remain sceptical. Let's see if it happens would be my view."
He pointed out, for example, that any design that generates large amounts of heat can impact the performance of the battery.
However, he added that anyone who did manage to crack the "battery problem" could have a transformational effect on consumer electronics.
Other manufacturers are also working on quick-charging battery tech.
In November, Qualcomm announcedits Quick Charge 4 system, for example, that offers five hours of battery life following a five-minute charge.http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-39895898to

design techniques

What is system design? Why is it important in the system development process System designing in terms of software engineering has its own value and importance in the system development process as a whole. To mention it may though seem as simple as anything or simply the design of systems, but in a broader sense it implies a systematic and rigorous approach to design such a system which fulfills all the practical aspects including flexibility, efficiency and security.  Systems design  is the process of defining the architecture, components, modules, interfaces, and data for a system to satisfy specified requirements. Systems design could be seen as the application of systems theory to product development. Before there is any further discussion of system design, it is important that some points be made clear. As it goes without saying that nothing is created that is not affected by the world in which it’s made. So, the systems are not created in a vacuum. They are create...
