Are Yoshino batteries solid state?

Yoshino’s power stations all use Lithium-NCM batteries with an Inorganic Polymer Composite electrolyte that is recognized by the scientific community as “solid-state”. Yoshino is the only company offering commercially available power stations that fit this description. Are solid-state batteries safer than conventional lithium batteries?

Are Yoshino batteries better than LFP batteries?

Future generations of Yoshino products aim to achieve up to 3x energy density compare to LFP batteries, bring new levels of solid-state stability, and consistently lower prices. The world’s first commercially available solid-state batteries power Yoshino’s innovative power stations.

How much does a Yoshino battery cost?

Yoshino is roughly $1.24/Wh, while the others chime in between $0.90 – $1.12/Wh. That means Yoshino’s battery, which is a first-gen product, comes in 11-37% more costly than the competition per Wh. However, one of the key benefits of solid state is safety, longevity, and energy density, so how does it compare to the last one?

Are Yoshino batteries liquid free?

But Yoshino’s batteries, and solid-state batteries in general, have very high thermal stability and are much less likely to catch fire or explode. At the current state of solid-state technology, no mass-produced battery is completely liquid free.

Are Yoshino batteries safe?

Yoshino’s batteries were put through the paces for thermal runaway, nail penetrations, and short circuits, which are some of the big selling points of solid state batteries. This battery is substantially safer in those regards than a typical lithium ion battery with a liquid electrolyte.

Are Yoshino batteries flame proof?

No battery is 100% flame proof. Any battery can catch fire under violent treatment, for example if the anodes and cathodes are pressed together. But Yoshino’s batteries, and solid-state batteries in general, have very high thermal stability and are much less likely to catch fire or explode.
