Lower Operation & Maintenance Costs

Sodium-ion batteries are built with inherently stable, water-based electrolytes and non-flammable materials. This means they require no active cooling systems, fire suppression infrastructure, or complex battery management for thermal control — all of which add cost and maintenance to lithium-ion systems.

 

Their chemically stable design reduces degradation over time, extending cycle life and minimizing replacement frequency.

Because sodium-ion systems are classified as non-hazardous, companies also save on insurance, safety compliance, and transport costs.

 

Together, these factors lead to up to 25% lower total operating and maintenance costs over the system’s lifetime compared to lithium-ion batteries — especially in stationary and grid applications.
