Intelligent Energy, a British technology company believed to be working closely with Apple, has developed the first hydrogen-powered battery, which the company said can charge the iPhone for a week. According to reports, it has incorporated a fuel cell system into the current iPhone 6 without any alteration to the size or shape of the device.

 

Henri Winand, chief executive of Intelligent Energy, who refused to comment on rumours of Apple involvement, said: “To our knowledge this has never been done before.

 

“We have now managed to make a fuel cell so thin we can fit it to the existing chassis without alterations and retaining the rechargeable battery.

 

"This is a major step because if you are moving to a new technology you have to give people a path they are comfortable with.”

 

Mark Lawson-Statham, the company’s corporate finance chief said: “Our view is that this is a couple of years out but really it’s about how quickly does our partner want to press the button and get on with it?”

 

Apple declined to comment.
