Descrizione del progetto
Nuovo dispositivo per prolungare la durata della batteria del telefono
La maggior parte dei consumatori preferirebbe acquistare uno smartphone con batterie che durano più a lungo piuttosto che con schermi o fotocamere migliori. La durata della batteria è diventata un argomento di vendita cruciale. Il problema delle batterie al litio attualmente in uso è che necessitano di frequenti ricariche e la temperatura della batteria può accrescere il rischio di incendi o esplosioni. Il progetto Optium, finanziato dall’UE, propone un dispositivo innovativo per migliorare la carica, prolungare la durata della batteria ed eliminare i rischi. Inoltre, il dispositivo è compatibile con tutti gli smartphone. Il progetto condurrà ricerche rivolte a un’ampia gamma di utenti, imprenditori e imprese che intendono commercializzare il dispositivo.
Obiettivo
Longer battery life is the most demanded feature by smartphone users. Surprisingly, surveys show that 46% of respondents
would prefer longer battery life rather than better smartphone cameras or more resistant screens. Current lithium-based
batteries fail to keep up with smartphone technological improvements. As a result, batteries do not last long during the day.
Moreover, users recharge their smartphones improperly accelerating battery deterioration. Consequently, batteries get
drained quickly and users must replace their mobile phone or replace old batteries with poor low-quality new ones.
ChargeGuard has developed and patented an intelligent device for optimising charging, increasing battery lifespan and
monitoring system and battery temperature and voltage for improved safety. Optium is a smart charge management system
that protects and prolongs battery life. The objective of this project is to provide consumers with a 3rd party charger device
able to optimise the way batteries get charged and delay the deterioration of batteries by three times. Optium project will
satisfy the high unmet demand of consumers for a product that improves smartphone charging procedure, eliminate risk of
fire/ battery explosion and increase battery longevity, by providing a 3rd party intelligent charger featured with unique
characteristics and fully compatible with any smartphone on the market.
We will target different users’ profiles, such as young smartphone owners, business people, large companies and parents
worried about fire accidents due to battery overheating. We will market Optium through direct sales, distributors & retailers
as well as through exclusive agreements with insurance companies. The potential market is huge. Our projection clearly
demonstrates the potential of our solution. By 2024, we foresee to earn more than €14m profit yearly. Our forecast estimates
cumulative profits of €20m by 2024 with a return on investment of 730%.
