Smart control for modern energy storage systems
Sodium-ion batteries now with integrated BMS and parallel/serial connection
Energy storage systems are becoming increasingly important for many applications. They supply reliable power to medical devices, motorhomes, boats, solar installations, technical systems, emergency power solutions and off-grid applications. At the same time, demands for safety, ease of use and flexibility are rising.
Today, a modern battery should do more than just store energy. It should provide information. It should be monitorable. And it should be able to adapt to different requirements.
This is precisely what the new sodium-ion batteries from Axcom with an integrated Battery Management System are designed for.
Greater transparency thanks to an integrated BMS
With many energy storage systems, the actual condition of the battery is not immediately apparent. Although users can see whether a system is working, important details often remain hidden. What is the state of charge? What is the voltage? How much capacity is still available? Is the temperature within the safe range?
The integrated Battery Management System makes precisely this information visible without the battery needing to be removed. Key battery data can be read directly from the battery via the LCD display. This includes the current state of charge, voltage, capacity and temperature.
This offers significant advantages in operation and maintenance, particularly for permanently installed energy storage systems. For example, in everyday hospital settings, in motorhomes, boats, solar installations or technical systems where the battery is not easily accessible at all times. Users can quickly obtain the necessary information.
Check battery status conveniently via the app
In addition to the display on the battery itself, the new models also allow you to access key battery data via a mobile device using the app. This makes it easier to monitor the battery in everyday use and provides added peace of mind.
Those who use the storage system regularly can spot changes in values more quickly. This helps in assessing the current status and supports proactive use. This feature is particularly valuable for larger energy systems, as not every battery is located in a clearly visible spot. A digital status check saves time and makes usage more convenient.
Flexible configuration for greater capacity and voltage
Another key advantage of the new sodium-ion batteries is their flexible configuration. Depending on requirements, the batteries can be connected in parallel to increase capacity. Up to four batteries can be connected in parallel. In addition, up to four batteries can be connected in series to achieve a higher voltage. In combination, this allows up to sixteen batteries to be flexibly connected together. This opens up new possibilities for the design of customised energy storage systems.
Users can configure their system to suit their specific application. If more energy is required later, the storage capacity can be expanded. If new technical requirements arise, the voltage can also be adjusted.
This makes the batteries particularly attractive for applications where flexibility is a priority.
Advantages of sodium-ion technology
In addition to the new features, users benefit from the well-known strengths of sodium-ion technology.
Sodium is available in large quantities worldwide. This reduces dependence on critical raw materials, making the technology attractive for many energy storage applications in the long term.
Thermal stability is also a key advantage. Sodium-ion batteries are considered less sensitive to high temperatures and are less prone to thermal runaway effects than many conventional battery systems. Thermal runaway describes uncontrolled heating within a battery, which in the worst-case scenario can lead to a fire. The lower this risk, the more attractive a technology becomes for applications where safety is crucial.
Added to this are a long service life, robust power output and a wide usable temperature range.
These characteristics make sodium-ion batteries an exciting solution for mobile and stationary energy storage.
Conclusion
The new sodium-ion batteries with integrated BMS offer users significantly greater control, convenience and flexibility. In everyday life, an energy storage system is often most important when it operates reliably in the background. It should provide energy without demanding attention. At the same time, it is helpful to be able to quickly check the battery’s status when needed. This is precisely where the integrated BMS provides greater control.
The display shows key battery data directly on the battery. State of charge, voltage, capacity and temperature can be read without removing the battery. App compatibility complements this feature and enables convenient monitoring in everyday use. Those who can access this data at any time use their storage more consciously. This can contribute to a longer service life and, at the same time, makes it easier to plan energy consumption and potential service intervals.
Another key advantage is the flexible configuration, which allows up to four batteries to be connected in parallel and up to four in series. Combined, up to sixteen batteries can be interconnected to flexibly increase capacity and voltage to suit the specific application.
Anyone looking for a safe, long-lasting and expandable storage solution will find the new sodium-ion batteries from Axcom to be a modern alternative for a wide range of applications.
