Yesterday Samsung launched the first commercial for its Gear Fit wearable, showing off its beautiful curved display.

Now, Samsung SDI has launched the new curved battery for wearable devices, which is what the Gear Fit is currently embedding.

The tiny power-house has a capacity of 210 mAh and is taunted as the world’s largest in terms of wearable devices, says CNET. Currently, the Gear Fit promises up to 5 five days of low usage on a single charge.

The technology used to produce the batteries employs a new battery lamination technology performed in a tiny cell. Furthermore, the design also uses a V-bending technology to increase the capacity via increased energy density in the compact form factor.

“As the global market for smartbands in anticipated to expand sharply in the near future, Samsung SDI will continue to make efforts to become the No.1 player in the smartband batteries market,” claimed a company official.

Samsung seems to have high hopes for the future in the department, but it’s by no means the only one activating here. For example, Korean device-maker, LG has its own division called LG Chem, which has already kick-started the mass production of curved batteries for smartphones, watches and glasses last year.
