Taiwanese solid-state battery developer and manufacturer ProLogium Technology has formed a strategic partnership with Japan’s Kyushu Electric Power to develop a 24 V lithium ceramic battery (LCB) module tailored for construction machinery applications.

The partnership combines ProLogium’s battery technology with Kyushu Electric Power’s expertise in module design and end-user integration to create a high-performance, durable and versatile energy system tailored to the demanding operational needs of construction machinery.

ProLogium will supply its lithium ceramic batteries, while Kyushu Electric Power will take the lead in developing the 24 V modules and integrating them into heavy equipment for end users. ProLogium aims to start pilot production of its fourth-generation LCB by the end of 2025.

ProLogium’s battery uses a fully inorganic electrolyte and highly stable cathode and anode materials to minimize the risks of thermal runaway and fire. It is equipped with an Active Safety Mechanism (ASM) that automatically activates under high-temperature conditions, to improve safety performance in demanding operational environments.

The battery’s 100% silicon composite anode boosts energy density to allow for a more compact and lightweight battery pack—ideal for heavy machinery where both performance and space efficiency are critical. Additionally, the battery’s fast charging time reduces equipment downtime and replacement frequency, according to the company.

“As the world accelerates its shift toward sustainability, electrification in construction and heavy industries is both urgent and inevitable,” said Vincent Yang, founder and Chairman of ProLogium. “This partnership enables us to deliver longer-range energy solutions for heavy-duty operations, enhance productivity with fast-charging capabilities, and ensure stable battery performance in extreme cold—all contributing to the electrification of heavy industry.”
