Israeli tech startup, StoreDot, claims to have created a new battery pack that can fully charge your phone in a mere 30 seconds. 

This life-changing power is thanks to microscopic magnets called nano dots, the inventors explained as they introduced the device on Monday at a Microsoft Think Next event in Tel Aviv.

Much to the disappointment of pretty much everyone reading this on a smartphone, the device won't be available to the public anytime soon. So far there's only a prototype for Samsung's Galaxy 4, and production won't commence until 2016, the Wall Street Journal reports.

The current price is predicted to be about double that of a regular phone charger.

Here's a video of the super-charger in action, just to make you more depressed about your dwindling battery power.
