Specialty battery technology company Altech Batteries Limited (ASX:ATC, FRA: A3Y) has announced a remarkable milestone for its CERENERGY® sodium-nickel-chloride (Na Ni-Cl) battery technology, confirming its extraordinary long-term shelf life and performance reliability.
The CERENERGY® technology is built on the proven sodium-nickel-chloride chemistry utilised in first-generation Zebra batteries, which had smaller capacities of around 100Wh. In contrast, current CERENERGY® cells offer a significantly improved capacity of 250Wh while maintaining the same electrochemical foundation.
In a demonstration of durability, Altech successfully activated a 28-year-old Zebra battery originally produced by AEG ZEBRA in Berlin and left unused in storage since manufacture. Despite nearly three decades of dormancy, the battery exhibited no performance degradation, functioning as if it were brand new.
