The Wall Street Journal reports that Google began testing batteries developed by other companies for use in Google devices — such as Google Glass — in 2012. About a year later, the Journal says, the company began looking into developing its own battery technologies.

The Journal notes that the first version of Google Glass suffered from short battery life. Other companies, including Apple and Tesla have also are seeking improved batteries.
