The average cost per kWh of a lithium-ion battery was $790 in 2013. BNEF said it expects average battery pack prices to drop again next year to $133/kWh, then to $80/kWh in 2030.

Among the other benefits, sodium-ion batteries perform better than lithium-ion batteries in extreme cold. CATL has said its new battery works in temperatures as low as -40° Fahrenheit .

Inlyte Energy is reviving and scaling iron-sodium battery technology to create a safe, low-cost, and domestically sourced alternative to lithium-ion batteries for utility-scale storage.

CATL’s high-voltage sodium-ion battery gets an energy density of 175 watt-hours per kilogram. That’s below the 200–300 Wh/kg range typical of lithium-ion batteries, but it’s enough to ...

Lithium-ion batteries revolutionized the world when Sony brought them to the mass market in 1991. Compared to previous rechargeable battery technology, they were lighter, more energy-dense, last ...

Coroner launches lithium-ion battery inquest after 275 fires. A coroner will investigate the potential dangers of a common household item after it’s been blamed for causing five fires per week ...
