Alsym Energy, based in Malden, Massachusetts, has introduced its Na-Series line of sodium-ion batteries designed specifically for stationary energy storage. Leveraging a proprietary sodium-ion chemistry, these batteries utilize nonflammable, non-toxic materials sourced from abundant minerals, simplifying permitting processes for installations in populated areas, rooftops, basements and critical infrastructure. By replacing more expensive metals, the Na-Series reduces capital and operational costs, delivering a lower levelized cost of storage compared to prevailing technologies.
The Na-Series supports high charge and discharge rates, enabling multiple daily cycles and flexible participation in energy markets. Targeted applications include data centers, commercial and industrial facilities, mining and oil & gas operations, defense installations and residential microgrids. Alsym’s approach minimizes auxiliary systems, further lowering total system expenses.
“The Na-Series is the result of our team’s commitment to developing the best battery for the critical needs of the stationary storage sector,” said Mukesh Chatter, Co-Founder and CEO of Alsym Energy. “Energy storage systems have high energy concentrations and are expected to perform reliably under a wide range of conditions, for years and years. Our batteries are exactly what is needed by the market right now, and can deliver peace of mind to homeowners, businesses, communities, and grid operators who are eagerly seeking safe and reliable energy storage solutions.”
A standout feature of the Na-Series is its exclusion of iron phosphate materials, enhancing supply chain resilience through partnerships with domestic and free-trade suppliers. The chemistry achieves competitive energy density, extended cycle life and broad temperature tolerance without compromising safety or cost.
“The Na-Series represents an extraordinary effort by Alsym’s team of scientists and engineers,” said Dr. Kripa Varanasi, co-founder and Professor of Mechanical Engineering at MIT. “By rethinking the possibilities of what can be accomplished in energy storage, we’ve developed an innovative battery that combines high-performance, non-flammability, affordability with a reliable supply chain that enables applications that were not feasible before.”
Building on earlier chemistry breakthroughs, Alsym Energy is advancing its commercialization roadmap and collaborating with strategic partners. The company continues to seek additional alliances to accelerate global adoption of its safe, high-performance energy storage solutions.
