The 8-Hour challenge: SK On says solid-state robot batteries must justify a 4x manufacturing cost jump to replace ‘inferior’ lithium-ion
SK On says solid-state cells can give industrial robots the 8+ hour runtime of a human shift, but adoption might be another story While upcoming solid-state batteries boost productivity through longer operating times and lower overall operating costs, they are prohibitively more expensive than some of their lithium-ion peers Modern Li-on-based batteries are under 2% […]
