Next week Battery Japan Expo is on and Hitachi Zosen are giving a presentation on their "Development ofAll-solid-state Battery for Commercialization". If it turns out we're producing Lithium Chloride for these guys and that's the reason things have been taking so long regarding the due diligence I will quit my job on the spot. For now I'll keep working, but I wait with bated breath!!!

"Development of All-solid-state Lithium Ion Battery (AS-LiB®)Hitachi Zosen is promoting development into an all-solid-state lithium ion battery that is anticipated as a post-lithium ion battery applicable to next-generation cars. We have developed an original manufacturing method that has successfully created an all-solid-state battery without the mechanical pressure conventionally used during charging and discharging. Our battery maintains a high level of safety and has a wide operating temperature range of -40℃ to 100℃. It can work under environments where current lithium ion batteries cannot, and its application to new fields and markets is expected".
