I'm surprised that you seem unaware that lithium have to potential to explode in a furious white hot ball of flame. You must be smoking too much of that happy weed. Repent before it's too late!

When people say "solid state" batteries, they mean that it doesn't use a liquid electrolyte to facilitate ionic movement in the cell. You know how there are two kind of capacitors? Solid state capacitors and electrolytic capacitors? Same thing. The only difference is that most lithium batteries use a liquid electrolyte.

Here's the part where you get to answer your own question and prove your education didn't go up completely in smoke.

Namaste!
