Panasonic to Debut Next-Gen Solid State Batteries for Robots

Panasonic Holdings Corp. will debut a sample batch of its new solid-state batteries during the fiscal year ending March 2027 as it seeks to crack the next-generation batteries market for robots and other systems.

Panasonic’s push is part of a broader industry effort for the mass production of power sources more efficient and safer than conventional lithium-ion batteries. Solid-state batteries carry the potential to last longer and endure greater temperatures with a lower risk of leakage or combustion, owing to the absence of liquid electrolytes.
