CATL, the world’s leading manufacturer of electric vehicle (EV) batteries, has made a significant stride in energy storage technology. The Chinese battery giant has unveiled the world’s first mass-producible energy storage system with extended lifespan and cost efficiency.
Named TENER, the new energy storage system promises zero degradation in both power and capacity during the first five years of its operation. It has been designed to resolve the issues that plague lithium-based batteries, with capacity loss being a major pain point.
Diminishing battery capacity over time is a common frustrating issue for almost all smartphone and electric vehicle owners.
These issues are quite common in lithium-based batteries. They often lose their ability as the time passes, leading to reduced performance and lifespan. Therefore, old lithium batteries require more frequent charging than the new ones.
It is in this context that TENER can be a game-changing development. Unlike lithium-ion batteries, TENER continues to give the same energy storage capacity and performance over at least the first five years.
This automatically saves users from frequently replacing old batteries or undertaking extended charging sessions to keep their smartphones or EVs operational.
