After the discovery of an Apple patent for a key-less keyboard with haptic feedback a few days ago, another Apple patent application popped up, this time seeking to improve upon current lithium battery technology. The patent called “Battery with Multiple Jelly Rolls in a Single Pouch,” seeks to explore the possibility of expanding the jelly roll (or Swiss roll) design already found in existing battery technologies.
Apple aims to fit several of these jelly rolls in a foil pouch, and then fit several foil pouches within a battery. The patent basically aims to maximize the space within the battery. What does this mean for Apple? Smaller, more efficient, longer-lasting batteries for the company’s devices. And if this patent indeed comes to fruition, it would be especially useful as mobile broadband tends to drain batteries quite quickly.
But with the glut of Apple patents out there, we can only wait and see which ones make it into production.
Apple is now looking to expand on the jelly roll design, according to a new patent application discovered this week by AppleInsider. The filing, dubbed "Battery with Multiple Jelly Rolls in a Single Pouch," aims to improve the existing lithium batteries found in most electronic devices, including the iPhone, iPad and portable Macs.
The application notes that lithium-polymer batteries are convenient, because they include cells that are packaged in flexible pouches that can be tailored to fit into small portable electronic devices.

A lithium-polymer battery can achieve a packaging efficiency of between 90 percent and 95 percent if a jelly roll is enclosed in a foil pouch. Multiple pouches can be placed side by side in order to form a battery.
But to further improve the efficiency of batteries, making them smaller and even more efficient, Apple has proposed a new kind of battery cell with a set of jelly rolls found in a foil pouch, rather than just one.
Just like in a rechargeable AA, Apple's concept includes a cathode and anode divided by a separator. Conductive tabs within the battery cell would connect cathodes and anodes from the jelly rolls found in the pouches.
"The use and placement of multiple jelly rolls of different lengths and thicknesses within a pouch may allow the creation of a custom battery cell that maximizes the use of free space within a portable electronic device and provides greater capacity, packing efficiency, and/or voltage than battery cells that contain only one jelly roll per pouch," the application reads.
