Emerging Applications of Na-ion Beyond Grid Scale BESS LEAD ACID MARKETS

DEMAND RESPONSE / PULSE LOADS

BEHINDTHEMETER ESS

Major lead acid players have released 12V SLI Na-ion products

Na-ion better than LTO for UPS / datacenter applications

Safety & Longevity drives Na-ion adoption in RESS and C&I BTM storage

Considerations vs Lead-acid:

Considerations vs LTO

Considerations vs LFP

Longer lifetimes

Lower costs per kWh

High safety that precludes LFP

Overdischarge tolerance

Lower footprint required

Wide temperature operation

Better cold cranking

Easier system integration

Higher C-rates capable
