Yes very exciting

[supernumerary] 29/12/2021 14:02

The quote below from the TU unnerved me. The initial pilot line was supposed to build orders and let users test up to at least prototype stage, so as soon as they had volume supply they could go into production. The quote implies that this is far from the case, and Ilika and its customers are still in the long slow build-up phase.

'Product sales, which are expected to commence in Q2 2022, will be ramped up to match demand from a portfolio of customer new product development (NPD) programmes, with an initial focus on miniature medical devices.'

EDIT: Rereading the news release, it also strongly implies they have nothing from industrial iot users :¬(

Good price movement today! Setting up nicely for the move past £2 in January. Lots of news lined up also with first commercial production imminent (non pilot)

[shstt1] 29/12/2021 08:40

Yup, always welcome negative comments as maybe something I hadn’t thought of or didn’t know. But in most cases, it’s just those regretting selling and wanting in, clutching at straws thinking they can manipulate the price, lol

Anyhow I sold way higher

[kenjen1] 28/12/2021 14:56

US markets open today. Ilika $2.44 which is £1.82 so far today. Fingers crossed that follows tomorrow morning :)

HNY all

Anyone able comment on the analyst presentations from the Capital Markets day.

[tp5588] 20/12/2021 13:21

Just to add… when it’s all said & done, they’ll be plenty of room for multiple ssb offerings from different companies. Let’s not act as if there will be only one & get too stressed on announced tie-ups & all the rest. If large form ssbs do happen. I’d want shares in all of them.

[tp5588] 20/12/2021 13:08

All for dissenting views on the company/products. Just wish they were accurate/factual/based on reasonable assumptions.

“gone about trying to use their existing small solid state tech to invent large batteries” – Garbage. Basic knowledge that S & G use different compositions & markedly different processes. Could that be why they have different names?

“Big boys” – Qs burning through £300m per qtr with their 200 scientists running around like the keystone cops & still not ahead of IKA. Why are they viewed as angels on here?

My SSB doesn’t use cobalt either… but it doesn’t work. IKA have years of experience in mat development/selection & have stated multiply times that their choice of mats for G is based on performance/availability & cost

Nobody kicks a dead dog. With all the shares in all the world, why go to a particular bb & say “I don’t like the co”. Pls give reasoned arguments for -ve comments (& +ve ones for that matter), would love to hear them. This stuff written here can only be viewed as positive as the authors seem desperate.

I take note of the well-researched articles such as JB1978, not people who are here commenting to manipulate the share price. Large sums of money haven't outflanked Ilika. I am sure Ilika has had plenty of offers from large car companies.

[a.fewbob] 19/12/2021 12:23

The fact is Ilika has never had ground breaking solid state battery tech. They have basically gone about trying to use their existing small solid state tech to invent large batteries.

The big boys have been beavering away with large sums of money and outflanked Ilika.

[safety_john] 19/12/2021 12:11

There is no point having a bulletin board if we only tolerate good news. Tge announcement re Mercedes alone is food for thought.

[jimmyann] 19/12/2021 11:56

This small company is not playing catch up. It is way ahead of it's competition.
Another Rogk here!

[buywell3] 19/12/2021 10:13

The bar for solid state batteries has been set very high by USA company Factorial Energy

This company now has partnerships with the following brands:

Hyundai Kia Mercedes-Benz Alfa Romeo Chrysler, Citroën, Dodge, DS Automobiles, Fiat, Jeep Lancia Maserati Mopar Opel Peugeot Ram Trucks and Vauxhall

Their solid state battery product offering exists and the Spec is impressive



British Volt start up is talking about Cobalt supply requirements

This is NOT needed in the Factorial Energy product

Difficult to see how any small company can now play catch up with limited cash resources

[freedosh] 17/12/2021 16:40

Well, I remain impressed with the team especially the CEO. I think the presentation very interesting and progress is certainly being made.
Probable many more companies interested than spoke.
I added further today.

Ilika Capital Markets Day.

The Ilika management team, CEO Graeme Purdy, CFO Steve Boydell FCA, VP Sales & Marketing, John Tinson & VP Product Development, Robin Bell, outline the business, the market and the opportunities. Further, five partners illustrate their use of Ilika’s solid state batteries. The day ends with a tour of the facilities. This overview brings to life the scope of applications for both Stereax and Goliath and the path to commercialisation for Ilika.

Will be my ISA top up in Jan. Stereax looks like a winner, Goliath has potential but needs a partner in due course.

[nw99] 17/12/2021 08:13

Added and now full position

[nw99] 16/12/2021 16:48

Bought more today

[phil2003] 15/12/2021 22:05

Did the company give any indication of Manufacturing plans for Multi layer Goliath batteries?.. seems like all the big auto companies have walked away from funding any further development.

[safety_john] 15/12/2021 19:48

The infant obvs. I don't have the knack. However this does seem a reasonable prospect ...

[meetoo1] 15/12/2021 19:30

Should have said, and buys back cheaper.

[meetoo1] 15/12/2021 19:28

I am also heavily (for me.) invested and bought near top nearly a year ago, but I do wonder who is more clever. The infant that sold near the top or us hanging on?

[safety_john] 15/12/2021 19:23

Not upset at all -- as I said previously this is one I've tucked away.

[meetoo1] 15/12/2021 19:17

Just because you are upset with the share price, don't knock people who trade on the move. As you say this is the aim. What do you expect?
