Not yet it won't. The battery is solid state and designed for button cell type batteries. It won't be durable in large sizes. Might crack if dropped.

i still remember long time ago buy a lot of TDK CD-R to burn animes... now think about it, like kinda pointless

 

[Mechafanboy]

Aways be skeptical of such claims. There were reports of breakthroughs in Solid state batteries for some years liao, but we are still not seeing it on consumer shelves... Some of the claims even turn out to be fraudulent.

Keyword is coin battery.

Battery tech "breakthrough" same same as cancer cure "breakthrough", always no sound no news a few years down the road.

 

[heroking]

made in japan or in china?

 

[StoicGuy]

TDK got some Nobel prize winner on chemistry or physics right?

Japan are good in material science..

They sold off that business in 2000s and changed focus many years liao. Supposedly one of the biggest supplier for mobile phone batteries

Unusual for a Japanese co to make such a high profile announcement. They must be really confident of delivering the end product. I always thought Panasonic is the leading player for battery in Japan.
