Enerpoly’s choice of zinc-ion over lithium-ion technology offers several advantages for energy storage. Zinc-ion batteries use a water-based electrolyte, making them non-flammable and reducing the risk of fire. In addition, zinc is more abundant and accessible than lithium, and zinc-ion batteries require less maintenance, operate over a wider temperature range, and are more environmentally friendly due to less invasive mining methods, according to media reports.
Although zinc-ion batteries have lower energy density compared to lithium-ion alternatives such as Tesla batteries, they are well suited for load shifting and grid stability. The service life of zinc-ion batteries reaches 20 years (lithium-ion analogues – 12 years).
