The professor is right, every country should manufacture sodium batteries, especially when they rely on desalination! Brine is a harmful waste, making batteries out of it will subsidize desalination, making water cheaper as a bonus! A triple win!
i think this is great news. making smaller cells for e-bikes in india is a good starting point for that tech to mature. and if it has proven itself at scale, then the car industry will be highly interested to use it in bigger cells the get the cost down. maybe at the end we can achieve 50€ per kWh or even less.
👍that is what you call... COMMON SENSE ! 👍 Good luck. It will benefit everybody, and maybe will stop the wars and killing each other. Maybe we gonna come back more to spiritual life, and enjoy the time in life better... rather than killing each other supiditly.... life is to short to waste it for wars... technology should serve peace on earth...and more respect to each other. 👍
Interesting that his batteries are not meant for cold weather (mentioned at 22:32, „aqueous based“, not meant for below 10C). I was looking forward to Sodium batteries because I’ve heard multiple times that they could perform better in winter than lithium based ones (less capacity reduction in winter). Apparently not all variants of sodium batteries have this advantage 😢
but probably good enough for an indoor storage system. and the fact that you can discharge it to zero is wonderful for simple home electricity storage systems. it will be a game changer for smaller solar systems like balcony solar systems where your balcony could provide 1000Wp or more. Usually you have the dilemma between having a few solar panels without a battery where you give away the electricity for free when you can't use it. Or you have an expensive battery and you can use the energy from your solar system 100% by yourself. both scenarios are not satisfying. but if you can save on battery cost, then the solar system with batteries is a financially attractive solution and will also smooth out the load on the grid especially if dynamic electricity cost are available for the customer.
We want security to be of prime importance. Battery of my bike not blowing up in my house is of highest priority while thinking about the bikes. How will that be addressed?
Do I understand correctly at ua-cam.com/video/vom2PhrxEzA/v-deo.html , that Prof. Chandra said that their Sodium Ion coin cell have regenerative properties if a special refresh charge is applied? Or in other words, their Sodium Ion batteries last basically forever but have to go every 1000 charging cycles through a refresh cycle that restores the original capacity ? O_ô
Good for India. Maybe it will lead the way in high level manuafacture of sodium batteries and exported to the West, who seem not to be able to manufacture things on scale.
I loved this episode. I wish them best of luck. But I must say it is one thing to produce few prototype cells in a lab but diffrent animal producing commercially at GWh scale. Going from lab to commerical production you have to cross a huge chasm that I call valley of death. Fingers crossed. My best wishes and prayers are with you.
The freezing of the sodium based cell is a problem obviously anywhere it might encounter freezing temps. At least 1/2 the worlds popluation is in areas where they counter freezing tempratures. It might be possible to have a warming system but it would have to be on at all times during freezing temps.
Sodium ion is better for electric bicycles compared with lithium ion: very low fire risk, robust, longer life, and very quick charge. A small battery size is not a problem unlike a car because you can peddle if charge runs out, you can stop and charge very quickly if you need to, is not damaged if fully discharged, and a small battery size makes the bike cheap.
At the start of the video Amreesh explains very clearly on detail what he is doing. I am not happy to hear Lennart ask Amreesh if everything he has talked about is correct! There is no purpose to ask anyone in a podcast this question unless you have no idea how to make interesting conversation for podcast listeners. All viewers understand Amreesh's plans to produce a battery nobody is confused if that os true so no need for asking people you are interviewing to repeat what they told you already and waste their time explaining it again and wasting viewers time
I don’t know what the professor is saying. Here in Bangalore 95% of autorickshaws are not EVs! The same with bikes/Scooters. Till date I have not seen a Sodium ion battery based vehicles

Absolutely 💯
Sodium is made from soda ash not salt
Thank you so much for a great talk, Prof. Amreesh Chandra!
We‘re stunned by these developments! Keeping fingers crossed for your goals!

Well done India. Best wishes

Da bin ich überrascht, klingt alles sehr gut. Die Leistungsdichte ist fast zu gut.
Thank u India 🇮🇳
80% of 2 stroke auto rickshaws (tuk tuks) are replaced by 4 stroke auto rickshaws, not by battery driven ones.

Will work with heatpumps just like lithium ion
Congratulations on your well-deserved promotion!
Well deserved new beginnings on the way

Really great achievement Best wishes...
I use SIB s with my scooter and they're really great long life and fast charging.
No fire 🚒 risk like LIBs. I charge at 30 amp. Average time 40min.
How and where any one can purchase it and the cost of the batteries.
What is enough current density of Sodium ion battery?????
lead acid battery (90%) beats lithium battery (10%) on all low power ev until now
Which company by made sodium iron batteries.

renew the electrolytes and electrodes after 1000 charging cycles and you are good to go.. I think this is what he said.
what about weight of the battery Sodium is heavier than Lithium ryt???
He should have shown a small demo video of his batteries

Heatpumps
Hardly 20% of world population is in freezing range. Africa, SAsia, Far East S America mostly are not freezing.
Hello from a new subscriber :)
Welcome to our channel, hyric8927 👍🏻
Replace lead acid battery with sodium-ion battery quickly on all low power ev

Thanks for explaining about revolutionizing of energy technology of batteries.

The same with bikes/Scooters.
Till date I have not seen a Sodium ion battery based vehicles
China has to allow 5 percentage rate reduced give battery and technology to other country
Haven’t China’s sodium ion batteries already been commercialized and been installed on EVs for the market?
