Perth-based Altech said a prototype 60 kWh sodium chloride solid-state battery energy storage system, installed at joint venture partner Fraunhofer IKTS’ testing laboratory in Germany, passed all physical tests with flying colors.
The ABS60 battery pack consists of 240 Cerenergie cellseach rated at 2.58 V. Each cell is built with ceramic solid-state technology that relies on sodium ions found in common table salt. These cells are organized in four rows, each consisting of twelve cells, and stacked five modules high, giving a total capacity of 60 kWh. The battery pack is housed in an IP65 rated unit with a height of 2.6 m, a length of 0.4 m and a width of 1 m.
The prototype is integrated into a specially designed battery test station at the Fraunhofer base, allowing continuous daily charge and discharge cycles to assess the battery’s efficiency, stability and overall performance under real-world conditions.
