Off Grid Garge Australia did some extensive testing on a Sodium battery. The results were the only advantage of the Sodium battery was its ability to operate at low temperatures.These sodium batteries would be advantagious in very cold climates. Other than that not any advantages.
I saw those vids too, it really depends on the anode and the cathodes. It will take another 5-6 years to really dial it in. Natron claim 50K cycles but good luck trying to buy them.(We tried!) That said Shirley Meng's patent for a solid state battery is looking like another big step up the ladder .
@@zonta71 no not yet. They aren't available in Namibia yet. That info was based on what I've researched. I was suppose to declare that in the original text. But I have plans to replace the lead acid battery in my main solar setup with soduim ion batteries...
i can see huge uptake of Sodium battery for ESS grid storage , Australia has reached such a high supply from daytime solar that now the energy companies do not want to pay for daytime grid feed from home owners however if the sodium price point is more favourable relative to Lithium then capacity density will not be a problem , There is such a huge race to introduce battery storage to balance grid but the cost of lithium and fire risk is causing reluctance to take the lithium.
whiel this is excellent, when first Sodium batteries 280Ah? :D (sodium is heavier less energy dense so it CAN be good for stationary home energy storage) while lithium will stay dominant in cars?
Hi, thanks for video, you have to mention voltage range 10 - 100 % SOC, if I have 45 - 63 V inverter, I have no problem with LFP, 2.9 x 16 === 46.4 V , 3.45 x 16 === 55.2 V, I have also no problem with NMC811 NCA etc. 3.5 x 14 === 49 V, 4.15 x 14 === 58.1 V, but tell me, how to use Na+ battery with my 48 V ESS system ?
Thanks for taking the time shed some light on the Sodium-Ion batteries as an industry specialist.
Very good explanation thank you very much from the bottom of my heart ❤

The high temp benefits of soduim I really like. In Namibia summer times eish. Temps Above 35°C is considered to be the norm in Central Namibia
@Mr_natenut hello brother. Do you use the sodium in Namibia?
The big advantage for stationary applications is dirt cheap common materials leading to cheaper batteries that can scale massively.
