Nickel Metal Hydride Battery: An Environmentally Friendly Energy Storage Solution

Nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries are a type of rechargeable battery commonly used in consumer electronics and electric vehicles. They were developed as an alternative to the nickel-cadmium battery due to concerns over the toxicity of cadmium.

Another potential use for sodium ion battery tech is in grid-scale storage systems, like those mentioned here;

(#HatTip to @norightturnnz for the link)

I have no idea what chemicals are currently used when building such systems. But if they're lithium ion they'll be stupidly expensive to build, and if they're lead acid - which seems more likely - they'll need replacing much sooner.

RNZ · Construction capacity can't keep up with 'phenomenal' demand for solar powerBy Eloise Gibson

A year ago I posted about some folks I know with an off-grid system powered by a water wheel and solar panels, who were awaiting delivery of some of the first commercially available sodium ion batteries. Well, they've had them in for a year now and they're totally sold on them. Although the real test will be how they're performing in 5-10 years time.

Blimey - according to thedriven.io/2024/01/25/worlds the world's largest battery manufacturer, China's CATL will be halving the price of its Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries this year. "This means the price of an average 60 kWh battery pack will have dropped from $US6,776.00 to just $3,388.00 in just 12 months, saving EV manufacturers over $3,000 per vehicle."

Our #BEV (MG4 Excite) has a 51kWh pack... So we could replace a future (post 7yr warranty) failed pack for well under US$3k... #BatteryTech
