Recharageable battery that operates at extreme
temperatures
temperatures
The Whole Earth Battery features a radically new battery chemistry operable over the unprecedented temperature range of −80℃ to +80℃ with high energy density (>400 Wh/kg,>1200 Wh/L), inviolably safe (nonflammable, less reactive than lithium-ion), and domestically sourced. With its wide operating temperature range, this rechargeable thionyl halide battery efficiently stores electricity for lunar applications and allowing satellites to orbit the Earth for years.
Targeted for use in applications that operate at extreme temperatures, such as on the moon and for satellites that fly above 30,000 feet, the core cell chemistry is a variant of metal – thionyl halide where the metal can be sodium, aluminum, or magnesium.
INDUSTRIES: Defense, aerospace
The Whole Earth Battery was developed by the team at Sadoway Labs, a group dedicated to advancing the ideas of Donald Sadoway. With clear IP, the technology is available for licensing.
