[CIO Co., Ltd.] From Your Mobile Battery to a Safer Semi-Solid State Model: Announcement of Semi-Solid State Mobile Battery Trade-in Campaign

CIO Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Moriguchi City, Osaka Prefecture, Representative Director: Shohta Nakahashi) began deploying semi-solid state mobile batteries with a lower risk of ignition in December last year, aiming for higher safety standards, and has since been transitioning its existing lineup.
