Google has recently moved into industries such as transportation, health care, robotics and communications, designing physical devices that require efficient batteries and in CEO Larry Pageโ€™s view, battery life for mobile devices is a โ€˜huge issueโ€™ with โ€˜real potential to invent new and better experiences.โ€™

As perย The Wall Street Journal reports:

In late 2012, a team led by former Apple Inc. battery expert Dr. Ramesh Bhardwaj began testing batteries developed by others for use in Google devices. About a year later, the group expanded to look at battery technologies that Google might develop itself, according to people familiar with the matter.

At Google, Dr. Bhardwajโ€™s group is trying to advance current lithium-ion technology and the cutting-edge solid-state batteries for consumer devices, such as Glass and Googleโ€™s glucose-measuring contact lens, according to the people familiar with the matter.

Not only Google is googling about the batteries even other companies likeย Tesla, Apple and IBM are also dedicating research for this purpose.
