UK tech firm integrates hydrogen fuel cell inside iPhone for week-long charge - lithium ion rechargeable battery
"As far as we know, this has never been done before," Henry Winland, executive president of Loughborough --

"We have now succeeded in making such a thin fuel cell, and we can install it on the existing chassis without changing and retaining the rechargeable battery.
This is an important step because if you are moving to a new technology, you have to give people a path that they are satisfied.
The company's iPhone 6 prototype also contains ordinary lithium-
Ion batteries and hydrogen cell modules generate current through the mixing of hydrogen and oxygen.
The only by-product is a small amount of water and heat, so regular models must be modified to add vents that will allow them to escape.
Smart Energy has launched a $200 hydrogen battery device called Upp.
However, like any other bulky gadget on the market, the entire system is external and simply charges the device's internal battery.

A disposable cartridge like this, the company wants to allow the device to work several times longer than the current lithium
Ion model-use up to one week for a single charge.
