According to A CENS report, Simplo Technology Co. and Dynapack International Technology Corp will provide Apple with Thinner and Lighter batteries for the iPad 3 . The Batteries will be 20-30% more expensive than the iPads’.
Institutional investors pointed out that the battery pack for iPad 3, scheduled to be massively produced in the first quarter of next year, has been redesigned to be thinner and lighter with a longer service life than iPad 2 edition’s.
Furthermore, the new battery pack will also be required to meet CTIA IEEE 1625 standard for better quality and safety reliability, a trend that has been commonly seen nowadays, especially in the U.S. For example, consumer electronic devices with coming ordinary battery packs are banned by AT&T, the country’s largest service provider, from sales on its product shelf as well as from its mobile network services, until with IEEE1625-certificated battery packs.
The batteries are supposed to be delivered starting Q4.
