Safe, Non Toxic, and Sustainable
Terrion Energy Solutions delivers advanced energy storage systems designed to meet critical market requirements for safety, sustainability, and low total cost of ownership.
Our next-generation technologies — including aqueous zinc, sodium-ion, and supercapacitor systems — are selected for their inherently non-toxic characteristics and significantly reduced risk of thermal runaway and fire when compared to conventional lithium-ion batteries.
From an ESG and sustainability perspective, these technologies utilise abundant and ethically sourced materials, resulting in a lower environmental impact across their lifecycle, including reduced carbon, energy, and water footprints.
Long-term value is delivered through an attractive Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Depending on the application and technology selected, our systems offer high cycle capability, extended service life, and long warranty periods, enabling capital investment to be amortised over decades of operation.
This performance is further enhanced through our Power Router platform — a compact solid-state transformer that integrates power management, protection, and control — ensuring fully optimised, end-to-end energy solutions.
Automotive
The Next Evolution in Starter Batteries.
Sodium, beyond Lead-Acid. Safer than Lithium. Built for Extremes.
For decades, the automotive industry has relied on Lead-Acid (AGM/EFB) batteries. While reliable, they are heavy, short-lived, and prone to failure in extreme weather. Recently, Lithium-Ion attempted to fill the gap, but its sensitivity to extreme heat and cold—combined with safety concerns under the bonnet—has limited its adoption.
Enter Sodium-Ion (NFPP). This technology represents a paradigm shift. It delivers the massive cranking power needed for modern engines without the fragility of Lead-Acid or the safety risks of Lithium. It is the first true "drop-in" replacement designed to outlast your vehicle, survive the harshest Australian climates, and recover from mistakes that would destroy a standard battery.
Why Sodium-Ion is the New Standard
Better than Lead-Acid (AGM/EFB): Traditional lead batteries suffer from "sulfation"—if you drain them flat, they often never recover. They also struggle to deliver power in freezing conditions. Sodium-Ion solves this completely: it can be drained to 0 Volts and recharged to full health, and it cranks harder in the cold.
Better than Lithium (LiFePO4): While Lithium is light, it is dangerous to charge in freezing temperatures and can be unstable in the high-heat environment of an engine bay. Sodium-Ion is chemically stable from -40°C to +80°C and is intrinsically safer, with a thermal runaway threshold over 300°C.
The Ultimate Stop-Start Upgrade: Modern Stop-Start (ISS) systems destroy standard batteries and wear out expensive AGM batteries quickly. Sodium-Ion batteries handle the constant "drain-and-charge" cycle effortlessly, lasting up to 6x longer than standard lead-acid units.
- Stop-Start Durability Excellent (3,000+ Cycles)
- Cranking Power 3x Peak Power
- Temp. Range -40°C to +80°C
- Recovery 100% Recovery from 0V
- Safety Intrinsically Safe (>300°C)
Key Technical Breakthroughs
3x The Cranking Power
Sodium ions move with exceptional speed, allowing the battery to dump massive energy instantly. In the first 0.3 seconds, a Sodium battery delivers 3 times the peak current of a Lead-Acid equivalent. This means faster starts, less strain on starter motors, and reliable ignition for high-compression engines.
Engineered for "Stop-Start" Efficiency
Modern vehicles save fuel by turning off the engine at traffic lights, but this places immense strain on the battery. Even "enhanced" AGM batteries eventually succumb to this micro-cycling. Sodium-Ion chemistry is validated to deliver over 3,000 cycles, ensuring your Stop-Start system remains active and efficient for the life of the battery.
Bulletproof Reliability (0V Recovery)
The greatest weakness of lead-acid is sulfation. If a standard battery drops below 10.5V, it is often chemically ruined. Sodium batteries are transported at 0V (0% charge) and can be discharged completely without damage. If you accidentally drain your battery, simply jump-start it and drive away—no replacement needed.
Built for the Climate Extremes
Engine bays are hostile environments. Lithium batteries often shut down to protect themselves from heat, while Lead-Acid batteries lose up to 50% of their power in the cold. Sodium batteries are validated to operate continuously from -40°C to +80°C, ensuring performance whether you are in the Snowy Mountains or the Outback.
Residential, Rural, Regional, and Remote
Energy Storage
Energy Without Boundaries
Terrion Energy Solutions delivers advanced energy storage systems designed for homes and remote communities where reliability, safety, and long service life are essential.
Moving beyond conventional lithium-ion batteries, our residential and off-grid solutions integrate sodium-ion and optimised supercapacitor technologies to deliver safer, longer-lasting, and more sustainable energy storage.
These systems are engineered not only to store energy, but to protect household power supply over decades of operation.
Why It Makes a Difference
Traditional lithium-based systems introduce challenges around fire risk, usable capacity, operating temperature, and replacement costs. Terrion’s next-generation platforms address these limitations through:
High Usable Capacity
Unlike conventional batteries that restrict usable energy to protect cell life, sodium-ion systems can offer up to 90–100% usable capacity depending on chemistry, while supercapacitor systems deliver their full rated capacity without performance degradation.
High Efficiency
Supercapacitor modules achieve round-trip efficiencies exceeding 97%, ensuring that most generated solar energy remains available for household use.
Wide Operating Range
Our systems are designed for Australia’s demanding environments. Supercapacitor units operate from approximately –40 °C to +65 °C, while sodium-ion systems maintain effective discharge performance at very low temperatures.
Long-Term Value and Reliability
Terrion systems are designed as long-term infrastructure investments rather than short-life consumables.
Extended Service Life
Optimised supercapacitor systems offer design lives of up to 45 years and exceptionally high cycle capability, significantly exceeding typical lithium battery lifespans.
Reduced Maintenance
Wide temperature tolerance and inherent safety characteristics reduce reliance on active cooling and complex thermal management, lowering ongoing operating costs.
Lower Lifetime Replacement Costs
With multi-decade operating life, these systems minimise the need for mid-life battery replacement, reducing total ownership cost over time.
Sustainability and Environmental Responsibility
True sustainability extends beyond renewable generation to the materials and lifecycle of storage systems.
