Enables a safer, more secure world powered by accessible energy solutions. In 1961, the dry battery and magnetic tape divisions of Nitto Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. (currently Nitto Denko Corp.) were made independent and commenced business as Maxell Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. In 1963, Maxell succeeded in producing the first alkaline dry batteries in Japan, and has since developed and commercialized numerous types of battery products utilizing the technology cultivated producing dry batteries and magnetic tapes. The company name Maxell originated from the brand name “Maxell” (from Maximum...

Moreover, Maxell’s all-solid-state batteries adopt (from among the various sulfide solid electrolytes) an argyrodite type solid electrolyte, which is excellent for balancing mass productivity, stability, ionic conductivity, and formability. Using this electrolyte, the increase in resistance due to repeated charging/discharging or long-term storage is suppressed, and we have succeeded in improving the discharge capacity under high loads after long-term cycles or long-term storage compared to existing batteries using liquid electrolytes. For factory automation (FA), they can be repeatedly used...
