Metal-hydrogen battery maker EnerVenue has announced an extended warranty for its stationary batteries.
With Capacity Assurance, EnerVenue customers will access a 20-year/20,000-cycle warranty extension at no less than 88% capacity. This straightforward extended warranty covers a project while it’s in its most critical payback phase and is offered with no hidden exclusions and simple operating terms. With assurance of 88% capacity over 20 years, Capacity Assurance terms are designed to align with customers’ needs by supporting the long-term lifecycles of typical energy storage projects.
EnerVenue’s nickel-hydrogen battery systems have already entered supply contracts with big developers like Pine Gate Renewables. EnerVenue’s battery systems offer a 30+ year design life with essentially zero year-to-year degradation. EnerVenue batteries present no fire or thermal runaway risk, exhibit extremely minimal degradation, and are built to operate in a wide range of ambient temperatures without auxiliary HVAC.
“For years, the stationary storage market has been asking for a simple, long-term capacity guarantee,” said Randy Selesky, CRO, EnerVenue. “Capacity Assurance delivers an industry-best promise that complements EnerVenue’s robust technology and provides our partners with both operational confidence and contractual security.”
Wow, these guys come out of the gate “kung foo fighting”. Really the chemistry has it’s pros and cons, but has been proven in space for decades in use. considered a 30 year product and then add another 20 year 20,000 cycle performance ‘extension’ to the warranty. IF one could get this technology in smaller sizes like 60kWh up to around 150kWh, think of a battery that could well last 50 years in service and one would have to make a decision up front, look at that 88% performance point and buy 20% more cells or pay for the operating extension, which is more cost effective?
