Hi all,

i have no knowledge in electrical engineering but i have a few questions that i would like to ask some experts.

I am a design student who is very interested to know does the smart phone batteries have the power to give off
an electrical charge like a defibrillator?

Meaning would it be possible to actually create a portable smart phone defib using the power of a smart phone batteries?

Thanks

Welcome to AAC.
A phone battery could be used to drive a switched-mode DC-DC boost converter to generate the high voltage used in a defibrillator.
Such a voltage can KILL, however, so this is not something an inexperienced person should be tinkering with.

Hi alec,

most definitely i will not be the one experimenting on the idea, will get a profession to test it out if needed be dont worry about it haha im not that brave.

Anyways so all smartphone batteries will be able to deliver the shock? Will a mobile phone app be able to convert the batteries into a DCDC mode?

thanks man hope to hear from you :) appreciate it alot.

You hope somebody knows every possible battery that has been or will be used in a "smart" phone? Not likely.
No, an "app" is not a transformer, neither is it a transistor. You can't just program a defibrillator into existence. If you could, I would program myself a new car.:D
