Business Korea says its Samsung’s small all-solid-state battery will be a ‘dream’ for wearable users. That’s because it will be flexible in terms of shape, and able to resist shocks. We hope the PriMX ASB product will be as solid as the manufacturer’s reputation. Certainly, the new battery promises to be powerful.
Superior Density in a Small All-Solid-State Battery
Business Korea reports that the first small, all-solid-state battery by Samsung will boast a world-beating 200 watt-hour-per-liter energy density. This means it should be able to deliver an impressive 100 watts for one hour, far more than any consumer wearable would require.
The prototype design is already under review by Samsung Electro-Mechanics’ corporate clients. If the battery passes their tests, then Samsung should be able to commence manufacturing it in the first half of 2026.
Fully solid state technology has several key advantages over traditional battery design, using liquid electrolytes. Solid electrolytes are not easily disturbed by knocks and bumps. Furthermore, their flexible design facilitates flat, polygonal, and curved shapes to suit various requirements.
The Chemical Composition of Samsung PriMX ASB Batteries
The first small, all-solid-state batteries that we feature here, are part of a new range by Samsung. All of their new ASB batteries follow an oxide-based design, that out-performs lithium-ion in terms of proportional energy density.
We have heard that the key to this lies in a ‘multilayer ceramic capacitor’, and will provide more information when this becomes available. Meanwhile, Samsung has protected its interests by registering over 40 patents during the past couple of years.
“We will develop a compact all-solid-state battery for wearables”, a Samsung Electro-Mechanics spokesperson told Business Korea. “And we will achieve our goal by making good use of a firing process, and our special ceramic technology.”
