ProLogium Technology and Kyushu Electric Power have entered into a strategic partnership to develop next-generation lithium ceramic batteries (LCBs) specifically designed for heavy construction machinery. Announced on May 7, 2025, the collaboration aims to create 24V LCB modules, with both companies planning to showcase their joint advancements at the 2026 Consumer Electronics Show (CES).
This partnership combines ProLogium’s expertise in advanced battery technology with Kyushu Electric Power’s proficiency in module design and production. The collaboration seeks to deliver high-performance, durable energy solutions capable of operating efficiently across a wide range of conditions, catering to the demands of the heavy machinery sector.
The LCB modules developed through this joint effort offer several advantages over traditional lithium battery technologies. They incorporate all-inorganic electrolytes and high-stability electrode materials, significantly reducing the risk of thermal runaway and fire hazards. Additionally, the inclusion of an Active Safety Mechanism (ASM) allows the batteries to automatically activate protective measures in high-temperature environments, enhancing overall safety during demanding operations.
ProLogium’s LCB modules also feature increased energy density, achieved through the use of high-activity materials such as 100% composite silicon anodes. This results in smaller, lighter battery packs that maintain superior endurance and power output, making them ideal for applications where performance and space are critical. Furthermore, the batteries demonstrate excellent performance in low-temperature conditions, ensuring reliable and sustained operation of heavy machinery even in extreme cold environments.
The collaboration emphasizes fast-charging capabilities and long-term durability, which are crucial for minimizing downtime and reducing maintenance costs for construction equipment. These features collectively enhance operational efficiency and lower overall costs for businesses utilizing heavy machinery.
ProLogium and Kyushu Electric Power plan to reveal their technological achievements at CES 2026, where they will also seek to establish partnerships with potential customers. This collaboration highlights both companies’ commitment to advancing green energy technologies within the construction industry and beyond, supporting global efforts towards carbon neutrality and sustainable development.
ProLogium’s founder and group chairman, Yang Si Hwe, commented, “As the world accelerates its shift toward sustainability, electrification in construction and heavy industries is both urgent and inevitable. We are honored to partner with Kyushu Electric Power to bring our next-generation LCB technology into the heavy machinery sector, elevating energy efficiency, safety, and endurance.
Together, we are committed to advancing green energy transformation and building a low-carbon, sustainable future. 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 and a cleaner future for global infrastructure.”
