Australia-based Altech Batteries has introduced that its CERENERGY sodium nickel chloride prototype battery cells have accomplished greater than 650 charge-discharge cycles with none detectable capability loss.
For stationary power storage techniques (ESS), this interprets into fewer battery replacements, decrease lifetime working prices, and elevated reliability for customers, based on the corporate.
The cells additionally delivered practically 100% Coulombic effectivity alongside an power effectivity of as much as 92% throughout 650 cycles. This excessive effectivity demonstrates that the cells aren’t expending power on undesirable processes comparable to electrode degradation, the corporate stated.
The cells achieved a nominal capability of 100 Ah and 250 Wh, sustaining dependable efficiency at greater discharge charges. A key characteristic is their capability to help a number of day by day charge-discharge cycles inside the 20-80% state of cost (SoC) vary at 25 A.

The primary ABS60 battery pack prototype has been validated underneath real-world working circumstances, marking a significant step ahead in product readiness.
Testing included various load profiles, steady discharges at 25 A (equal to C-rate of C/4 or one-quarter of the pack’s rated capability per hour) at 80% depth of discharge, short-duration high-current pulses as much as 50 A and thoroughly managed thermal variations.
The pack demonstrated secure efficiency, reaching round 88% round-trip effectivity whereas sustaining dependable thermal administration. Over greater than 110 cycles, outcomes confirmed no observable capability fading and solely a slight enhance in inside resistance, Altech stated.
“These outcomes affirm CERENERGY’s robustness and readiness for market adoption. Demonstrating lengthy cycle life, excessive effectivity, and unmatched security, we are actually strongly positioned to ship a aggressive and sustainable various for grid and industrial power storage,” stated Iggy Tan, Group Managing Director at Altech.
