Maxell’s next-generation power solutions Charging Rechargeable batteries that do not use liquid electrolyte The basis of chemical batteries was formed by means of trial and error to obtain high voltage batteries by combining two types of metals, since the invention of the voltaic cell around 1800. After batteries were introduced to Japan in the 1800s, batteries were assembled by Japanese owned companies. The batteries at that time had a liquid electrolyte leakage problem. “Dry-cell batteries” solved this problem, which were developed around the world. In Japan, a unique structure for dry-cell...
