Two years ago, sodium-ion battery pioneer Natron Energy was busy preparing its specially formulated sodium batteries for mass production. The company slipped a little past its 2023 kickoff plans, but it didn't fall too far behind as far as mass battery production goes. It officially commenced…

    70 Wh/Kg is indeed very low density comparing with today’s li-ion 300 Wh/kg.

      Yeah but for many low-power applications, it’s a damn cool development. Like I have a bluetooth keyboard and a few controllers that could eaisly fit a battery 3x-4x the current size inside no problem, so there’s no need to waste lithium on that.

      At 1000 times the abundancy, it is already 233 times better for stationary applications than lithium ion, no?

        Does this abundance imply 1000x cheaper storage costs?

          Probably more like x times more profit if we cant get competition going

      Still great for grid storage. Save the higher density stuff for cars, trucks, and space.

      That’s pretty good for early production and I’m sure that will improve over time.
