Next year smart phones are expected to end the battery charging in five minutes.
The technology first surfaced in 2015 when Israel's emerging start-up company unveiled a fast-charging battery at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, United States.
The company's chief executive, Doron Myersdorf, told the BBC that the fast-charging battery was expected to enter commercial production in early 2018.
But Ben Wood, Cs Insight's technology analyst, was skeptical that the allegations could be made.
Myersdorf said he could not announce the name of the plant he had told him to use the technique.
The new battery is made from materials that stimulate unusual activity and very fast transfer of ions from the electrode to the negative electrode, a process that occurs when charging smart phone batteries, the CEO of Stardust told the BBC in 2015.
The design is based on nanoparticles made up of small objects, as well as other components not named by the company.
The first versions of these batteries were thicker than ordinary smart phone batteries, but Myersdorf was likely to be on the market in a new format.
"We will charge the smartphone in five minutes," Myersdorf said.
He added that the technology had already been used in two pilot versions of smart phones produced by two producers in Asia, and that "large scale production" for commercial purposes was expected in the first quarter of next year.
Doubts exist
Although skeptical about the possibility of a commercially fast-charging battery, Wood acknowledged that if the project worked as planned by the Israeli company, it would be one of the most important turning points in the smart phone industry.
"It's all very risky," he told the BBC. "This new technology for the smartphone industry could have a negative impact on the company."
"Experience has taught me to hold on to my doubts, and I think we have to wait to see what happens."
He explained that, for example, any design, which would generate a great deal of heat, could affect battery performance.
But he pointed out that those who can solve the "battery problem" will make a major shift in the world of consumer electronics.
There are also manufacturers other than Stordot, which are developing battery technology that can be shipped quickly.
Qualcomm announced its development of the Quick Charge 4 system, which gives the user five hours of battery life after just five minutes of charging.
Stordot also unveiled a battery for electric cars that could complete electricity storage in five minutes at the Berlin Motor Show this week.
The electric vehicle can go up to 300 miles depending on the new battery.
The company introduced its new battery in the framework of the activities of Cup Tech. However, the battery charge is not finished before the end of the presentation.
"We did not contract any car companies to develop this battery because it would take another three years to be used on the road," Stordot said.
Tesla Electric Motors said the Supercharger technology took about 75 minutes to power the battery.
The same system can provide the car with the necessary power to walk 170 miles depending on the battery charge for 30 minutes.
"Consumers want to reduce the time it takes to charge the batteries to be like the time it takes to supply the vehicle with fuel," said Joe Kimpton, a analyst at Canales.
But he said the whole thing depended on whether the technology would be widely produced and affordable.
