Yilai evaluates custom sodium-ion battery solutions for selected projects that require an alternative rechargeable battery chemistry. The suitability of sodium-ion technology depends on the required voltage, energy density, operating temperature, discharge performance, cycle life, installation space and commercial availability of suitable cells.
Because sodium-ion battery technology and cell specifications continue to vary between suppliers, every project requires an individual feasibility assessment before pack configuration, BMS selection, enclosure development and production planning can begin.
Potential applications may include selected energy storage, backup power and industrial equipment projects where the characteristics of sodium-ion chemistry match the operating requirements.
Which Battery Chemistry Is Right for Your Project?
