With an impressive energy density of 900Wh/L, the all solid-state battery offers a 40% increase over the current prismatic battery product, with mass production planned by 2027. In addition, Samsung SDI’s ultra-fast charging technology allows the batteries to be charged from 8% to 80% in just 9 minutes, with mass production planned by 2026. With mass production targeted for 2029, the new battery solution under development is projected to last more than 20 years, more than doubling the lifespan of current market offerings.
This announcement was made in anticipation of the InterBattery 2024 exhibition, a major event focused on rechargeable batteries. However, Samsung SDI has been cautious about announcing a timeline for volume production of its solid-state batteries. Nevertheless, this announcement represents a significant commitment to the development and commercialization goals of the company.
Solid-state batteries are considered a key innovation in the battery sector, offering potential benefits such as higher energy density, improved safety, and longer life compared to current lithium-ion battery technology. The move by Samsung SDI is a strong signal of confidence in the progress of its research and development and sets a clear timeline for the introduction of this next generation of battery technology to the market.
