Sodium-ion batteries are less energy dense. While CATL has not disclosed the energy density of the new cells, it reportedly aims to reach a figure of 200 Wh/kg—a tough goal given that even LFP batteries have only recently hit that mark. That would only be appropriate for low-range EVs or entry-level trims.
With the continuous expansion of lithium-ion battery production and application scenarios, the safety issue of lithium-ion battery has gradually become prominent, which has attracted extensive

Addressing the World Young Scientists Summit, chief scientist Wu Kai said the new battery will be launched next year – four years after the release of CATL''s first sodium-ion battery in 2021. The first generation had an energy density of 160 Wh/kg, while the next one is expected to exceed 200 Wh/kg.
In this article, we will explore cutting-edge new battery technologies that hold the potential to reshape energy systems, drive sustainability, and support the green transition.
The team''s findings, recently published in Physical Review Letters, showcase a design based on quantum spin systems that could revolutionize how we store and use energy. "Our results can play a relevant
Thousands of us energy customers (probably including you if you pay by monthly direct debit) are being regularly charged more than we owe for our energy use. In this way Energy companies are taking massive interest-free loans at the expense of us, their customers, making us believe we''re better off keeping our accounts in credit.
Now CATL, the world''s largest battery maker, claims to have unlocked new levels of extreme weather performance with sodium-ion batteries. The role of sodium ions is
The Sunpower 18650 low temperature battery is a game-changer in the world of energy storage. From its unmatched capacity and enhanced safety features to its exceptional longevity and
The significance of high–entropy effects soon extended to ceramics. In 2015, Rost et al. [21], introduced a new family of ceramic materials called "entropy–stabilized oxides," later known as "high–entropy oxides (HEOs)".They demonstrated a stable five–component oxide formulation (equimolar: MgO, CoO, NiO, CuO, and ZnO) with a single-phase crystal structure.
You will damage any Li Ion battery if you attempt to charge it below freezing. You can discharge the battery below freezing. Li Ion have an optimum use temp at about 65 deg F. You will need to warm your batteries to about 45 deg F before you charge them. Place a heat blankets on them with a thermostat.
CATL announces 2nd-gen sodium-ion EV battery that works even at -40°F. China''s largest battery maker is developing a new sodium-ion battery that can withstand extreme temperatures.
Nanoengineers have discovered new fundamental insights for developing lithium metal batteries that perform well at ultra-low temperatures; mainly, that the weaker the
The 100W panel will charge the battery by about 200Wh a day on clear sunny mid-Winter days. That won''t be enough to run the heaters and recharge the battery anywhere near full. Aside from which you can''t charge the battery below freezing unless you heat it too. You would need about 500W of panels. I don''t think that the unit will take that much.
This warranty does not cover negligence or misuse of the battery. If it is deemed that battery was used improperly, you will be subject to a $150 an hour repair charge plus parts and shipping."

OK Everyone, I purchased 25 LTO batteries that came out of a 2014 Honda Fit. Currently balancing the cells in each 24 cell battery. The top per cell is 2.7V but, because I am using a Sol-Ark 12K that has a maximum 63V input I am going to be using 60V @ 2.5V per cell for nominal and [email protected] for minimal cut-off.
Widespread adoption of lithium batteries in NEV will create an increase in demand for the natural resources. The expected rapid growth of batteries could lead to new resource challenges and supply chain risks [7].The industry believes that the biggest risks are price rises and volatility [8] terestingly, with the development of China''s NEV market and
The fact that they can withstand temperatures of -40 degrees Fahrenheit means EVs using these batteries won’t lose range in extreme conditions. This addresses a key barrier to EV adoption, as many worry EVs are less reliable in such conditions. Lithium-ion batteries struggle under the effects of extreme temperatures – whether cold or hot.
CATL's second-generation sodium-ion cells can reportedly discharge normally even at -40 degrees Celsius (-40F as temperature scales converge). Depending on the make and model, EV batteries perform the best between 60F to 110F. The operating range can go much higher or lower, but that affects performance and range.

On November 18, CATL announced its second-generation sodium battery. Addressing the World Young Scientists Summit, chief scientist Wu Kai said the new battery will be launched next year – four years after the release of CATL’s first sodium-ion battery in 2021.
They will launch in 2025 in China, with mass production expected to begin in 2027. Extreme heat and extreme cold are both enemies of a lithium-ion battery. In extreme cold, chemical processes within a cell slow down, as lithium-ions can't move as freely as they can under normal temperatures.
In 2023, CATL said Chinese automaker Chery would be the first to use its sodium-ion batteries.
