GE’s Energy Storage business announced $63 million in new Durathon sodium-halide battery orders since the business launched in July. The technology is unique because it can function in a variety of extreme conditions and store as much energy as lead-acid batteries twice its size while lasting up to 10 times as long.

They are becoming more and more popular and, like lead-acid batteries, have left their contemporaries behind. Lithium batteries are increasingly used in consumer electronics due to their lightweight, high-energy density, and long service life benefits. They are now also used in energy storage systems and electric vehicles.

The primary goal is to increase the share of clean and sustainable energy in the overall energy mix, thereby reducing dependence on fossil fuels and mitigating environmental impacts. These systems store excess energy generated during periods of high production and release it when demand is high or when renewable generation is low.

In contrast, lead-acid batteries have a 99% recycling rate in the US. Several companies are developing chemical processes, but these are still at pilot scale, and Aqua’s execs see serious challenges in delivering the required product purity and dealing with waste streams.

The two 24V products are basically an extension of the existing 12 V engine start products. As with Maxwell’s 12-volt ESM, the 24-volt product completely takes over the engine cranking and starting function by remaining fully charged, even if battery voltage drops significantly. Both are packaged in BCI Group 31 form factor.

Electricity is a commodity that is bought and sold, and yet unlike most other commodities, it cannot easily be stored. The need for large-scale electrochemical energy storage as a grid-stabilizing source of demand disappeared. Once electricity is generated and passes into the grid, it is typically used almost immediately.

But in a world that aspires to leave behind all fuels (except hydrogen or maybe ammonia) and to electrify everything, the preferred measure of stored energy density is watt-hours per liter. The first practical battery, Gaston Planté’s lead-acid cell introduced in 1859, has gradually improved from less than 60 Wh/L to about 90 Wh/L.

For instance, higher power output is possible with the flow (reported to 500 mA/ cm 2 ) of electrolyte when one of the reagents is stored in the electrolyte. The flow battery proposed in this work is different than the traditional flow batteries because all reagents and products reside as solids, which are part of the electrodes.
