Salient Energy zinc-ion battery finishes UL 9540A fire safety tests

• Zinc-ion battery manufacturer Salient Energy introduced that it has actually completed thermal runaway testing and is one action more detailed to obtaining UL providing for its fixed energy storage space system.

UL 9540A examines battery safety by first identifying whether the energy storage system uses batteries that introduce a danger of fire or explosion. If so, the examination after that identifies whether safety features integrated into the pack as well as system sufficiently alleviate these dangers. As verified by the UL 9540A results, Salient's water-based battery is basically incapable of triggering the catastrophic failures that can take place in lithium-ion based systems. Since zinc-ion batteries are the only non-lithium batteries that can match lithium-ion performance with the very same portable layout, Salient's modern technology stands for the only drop-in substitute that can eliminate safety risks in existing energy storage designs.

" Solving climate adjustment needs wide-scale implementation of energy storage this years, but this won't be possible if energy systems maintain emerging in flames and giving off toxic gases," said Ryan Brown, CEO of Salient Energy. "The industry quickly needs to switch over to secure batteries to preserve the general public's excitement for installing batteries in their homes as well as neighborhoods."

Zinc-ion batteries are made mostly from zinc and manganese, which are both produced in wealth in North America.
