Sponsor news – For a long time, climate change has been driving global carbon neutrality, which has prompted the transition from traditional energy systems to renewable energy systems such as chemical batteries and battery-powered machines. After being commercialized by Sony in 1991, chemical lithium-ion batteries have established a dominant position in consumer electronics, automotive and even aviation applications. However, energy transfer is facing a tight supply of lithium, and large-scale demand is rising. With reference to the periodic table, sodium and lithium are the closest metals in the same group, and their chemical properties are very similar. The content of sodium in the earth’s crust is more than a thousand times that of lithium. After that, sodium ion batteries are the best choice.
Located in Las Vegas, BLUETTI Power Inc is the world’s leading manufacturer of solar energy facilities, including solar generators, photovoltaic panels and related accessories. Its residential power station has been put into operation in the past two years (AC200P, EP500, and AC300) Stand out from the promising solar solutions market, and now it is taking the risk of integrating innovative sodium-ion battery technology into its upcoming solar products.
Recently, BLUETTI released the world’s first sodium ion solar generator——NA300 And its compatible battery pack – B480 on its social media.
It is said that NA300 and B480 seamlessly inherit all the style and appearance settings of the previous generation EP500 Pro, especially 4 20A plugs and 1 30A L14-30 output port. Most household appliances are driven by a built-in 3000W pure sine wave inverter. In addition, NA300 further surpasses EP500 Pro’s incredible 2,400W solar input to 3,000W. It can be said to be the fastest solar generator with charging speed, because it can be charged from 0% to 80% in just half an hour through 6,000W fast AC + PV dual charging. (AC and PV maximum 3,000W) However, due to the limitations of current sodium-ion battery technology, NA300 provides a capacity of 3,000Wh, which is lower than the 5,100Wh of the EP500 Pro of the same size.
Advantageously, it supports up to two B480 battery modules (4,800Wh each), with a total capacity of up to 12,600Wh, and the unit can sustain the household’s power needs for several days or even a week in the event of a grid failure or natural disaster. It can be charged by solar panels. . In addition, NA300 also provides 240V, 6000W connection with Fusion Box and another NA300, iOS or Android IoT application remote control, and other EP500 Pro advantages.
In addition to low energy density, the first-generation sodium-ion battery is comparable to LiFePO4 batteries widely used in other BLUETTI products in terms of safety and long cycle life; however, the former has advantages in cost, low-temperature performance, fast charging and fast charging due to its chemical characteristics. Excellent performance in other electrochemical aspects. BLUETTI’s sodium ion battery can be charged to 80% SOC in less than 30 minutes at room temperature. In addition, in a low temperature environment of -20°C (-4°F), the capacity retention rate of NA300 and B480 sodium ion battery packs exceeds 85%, and the system integration efficiency exceeds 80%, which is very suitable for power supply in winter or areas with extremely low temperatures .
In addition to NA300’s debut during the 2022 International Consumer Electronics Show, BLUETTI is also expected to unveil a series of new products in front of global audiences, showcasing its most advanced technology and alternative power solutions for a sustainable future.Please stay tuned and see more information www.bluettipower.com.
