Japanese startup plans to test an experimental battery on the Moon www.theverge.com

Japanese startup ispace plans to be the first to test a solid-state battery on the Moon’s surface, in hopes that this emerging technology can help solve the challenge of off-world energy storage.
The proposed Moon battery will be manufactured by Japanese company NGK Spark Plug.
The companies haven’t finalized the exact specs of the Moon battery yet, but say that it will have a ceramic electrolyte.
Plenty of companies are trying to commercialize them, but you still can’t buy a solid-state battery for your phone or electric vehicle.
Solid-state batteries could be a part of that future, but it may be a while before it comes to fruition.
