Natron Energy Announces First-Ever UL Listed Sodium-Ion Battery

Sep. 24, 2020-- Natron Energy, the world’s leading supplier of high-power, long-life and fire-safe Sodium-ion batteries using Prussian blue chemistry, announced today that it has achieved a UL (Underwriters Laboratories) listing for its BlueTray™ 4000 battery —a first for the industry and a major leap forward for safe, nonflammable battery technology that can be easily integrated into data centers and telecom companies at scale.
...
The BlueTray™ 4000 Rack-Mounted Battery Pack is now commercially available for shipment. It is the first-ever Sodium-ion battery to achieve a 1973 certification from UL, the definitive third-party evaluation of battery product safety. Natron’s battery cells are also the first battery cells to publicly disclose the results of rigorous UL 9540A fire testing on the new UL 9540A database. Starting October 1, fire departments and local permitting agencies are invited to review Natron’s results on UL’s website.
...
Last week, Natron announced that it was awarded a competitive $20 million award from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) to expand commercial production of its battery pack. Earlier this year, a $35 million infusion of Series-D funding enabled the company to produce commercial quantities of the battery at its Santa Clara, CA, facility for the first time.
