Gelion Endure – still early days for the aesthetics<\/p><\/div>\n

A new type of energy storage platform was put to work at the University of Sydney last night by Gelion Technologies.<\/p>\n

A Gelion Endure battery is providing energy storage for a solar powered mobile light tower at the University<\/a> and over the next year other towers will be rolled out across the campus.<\/p>\n

Gelion Technologies<\/a>, spun-out of the University, is led by Professor Thomas Maschmeyer, winner of the 2018 Eureka Prize for Leadership in Innovation and Science. Professor Maschmeyer believes the Gelion Endure will be a serious challenger for lithium-ion batteries.<\/p>\n

The technology is based on zinc-bromine, which traditionally has been used in flow batteries<\/a>. In terms of home solar storage, the only commercially available zinc-bromine battery on the market currently is Redflow’s Zcell, specifications of which are listed on SQ’s solar battery comparison<\/a> table.<\/p>\n

The big difference with Gelion Endure is that it’s a non-flow battery that uses, as the name suggests, a gel approach.<\/p>\n
