The propose method of manufacturing a solid-state lithium battery consists of preparing an anode coated with a solid-state electrolyte precursor and a cathode unit coated with solid-state electrolyte, both precursors containing a predetermined amount of a redundant water. The thus prepared anode unit and cathode unit are pressed to each other through their respective electrolyte precursor layers in a closed chamber at a predetermined elevated temperature and under a predetermined mechanical pressure, whereby an integral pre-final solid-state battery unit is formed. The manufacture of the battery is completed by inserting the prefinal product into a casing that leaves parts of the metal current collectors of the prefinal product exposed for use as a battery anode and a battery cathode.
