CATL introduced its new Tener sodium-ion battery technology, which offers 30 years of life and 15,000 charge cycles. Here are the details.
The new generation sodium-ion battery technology, which is expected to create a revolution in the electric vehicle world, has come to light. The storage system called Tener, developed by CATL, attracts attention with its longevity and high security standards.
Unlike traditional lithium-ion batteries, this new system offers an uninterrupted operating life of 30 years. CATLaims to open the doors of a new era in the field of power storage with this technology.
15,000 Charging Cycles and Superior Performance
The developed Tener system stands out with its 15,000 charging cycles. This level of durability allows the battery to be used for many years without compromising its efficiency.
The system manages to demonstrate high performance even in strong weather conditions. The battery, which can maintain 92% of its capacity in freezing temperatures of -20°C, can operate at temperatures of 45°C without the need for an additional cooling support.
On the safety side, the risks of explosion and ignition, which are the disadvantage biggests of lithium-ion batteries, are minimized with this technology. Tener promises a quiet usage experience by operating at a sound level of only 65 decibels during the operational process.
Smart Management and Global Expansion
Thanks to its integrated smart management system, Tener recovers itself in just 350 milliseconds in case of a random malfunction and maintains the power flow uninterrupted. This system, which can work in harmony with existing lithium infrastructures, also draws attention with its ease of use.

The technology is planned to be first available in the Chinese market in September this year. It is aimed for Tener-based systems to become widespread worldwide by 2027.
How do you think this new sodium-ion battery technology will affect the widespread use of electric vehicles?
