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.

The study also concludes that lead-based batteries will remain the only viable mass market energy storage system in automotive applications for the foreseeable future. In full-hybrid vehicles, the stored energy is also used for a certain range of electric driving. This is expected to be the situation for the foreseeable future.
