vivo's 12,000mAh Battery Is Now in Mass Production, Tipster Says — and Even Bigger Ones Are Being Tested

vivo's 12,000mAh smartphone battery is currently in mass production, according to tipster Digital Chat Station. Earlier this year, DCS revealed that vivo was testing a smartphone battery with a typical capacity of between 11,000mAh and 12,000mAh. Now the same tipster has shared an update: the battery is in mass production and has a rated capacity of 11,970mAh — the 12,000mAh figure is the typical capacity. The photo with this article shows the vivo Y600 (sold as the V80 Lite in select regions), which launched with a 10,000mAh battery, since the phone that will use the 12,000mAh cell has not been revealed.

Which phone gets it? Not yet known

The tipster hasn't revealed which smartphone will feature the battery, and no launch date for the 12,000mAh phone is given. No chemistry or energy-density figure is stated either, and no charging speed is mentioned — so how fast the battery charges, and how vivo fits 12,000mAh into a phone, remain open questions. What is clear is the direction: vivo recently launched the Y600 in China with a 10,000mAh battery. The phone is a rebranded version of the S2 FE, which is also sold as the V80 Lite in select regions.

Even bigger batteries are coming

DCS further claims that vivo is also testing batteries with even larger capacities for future smartphones with large displays. The 12,000mAh cell is already a big step up from the 10,000mAh Y600, and if the testing pans out, the next wave of vivo phones could push phone batteries further still.
