The company\u2019s Wasim Sarwar Dilov told an energy forum in Belgrade during May the firm wanted a stationary battery that was smaller, more efficient and less expensive than what\u2019s currently on the market.<\/p>\n<p>As an EV maker, Rimac\u2019s claim to fame is the fastest production electric car available, the Nevera, which has a top speed of 412 kph.<\/p>\n<p>Energy Storage News (ESN) says the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.energy-storage.news\/rimac-unveils-most-technically-advanced-bess-in-the-world-sinestack\/\">SineStack was announced<\/a> at the Energy Storage Summit Eastern Europe in late September.<\/p>\n<p>SineStack is an interesting beast, at least to someone used to thinking of the battery solely in terms of its storage, inputs and outputs. It&#8217;s an \u201cAC battery\u201d \u2013 not only does it integrate the inverter inside the battery case, but there\u2019s one inverter per battery module.<\/p>\n<p>ESN reported the company\u2019s product engineering manager Roger Moorehouse said this design approach means SineStack can offer independent control over all of the 18 modules in the battery. This allows for more granular balancing, more energy extracted from the cells, and a longer lifetime.<\/p>\n<p>Moorehouse said the impressive specs are made possible by the vertical integration Rimac has \u201cacross the whole system\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Production is due to begin in Zagreb, Croatia in 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Electric supercar company Rimac has taken a step towards entering the stationary energy market, with the launch of the SineStack battery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":79255,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[678],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-79152","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-solar-battery-news","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.2 (Yoast SEO v27.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Rimac Shifts Gears: From 400 kph Cars To 400 kW Grid Batteries<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Rimac, famed for its electric supercars, teases its Sinestack battery boasting a colossal 790 kWh capacity and a potential 33-year lifespan.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/rimac-sinestack-battery\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Rimac Shifts Gears: From 400 kph Cars To 400 kW Grid Batteries\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Rimac, famed for its electric supercars, teases its Sinestack battery boasting a colossal 790 kWh capacity and a potential 33-year lifespan.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/rimac-sinestack-battery\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"SolarQuotes Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SolarQuotes\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2023-10-10T23:34:03+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-10-13T04:08:24+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/rimac-sinestack.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"628\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Richard Chirgwin\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@solar_quotes\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@solar_quotes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/rimac-sinestack-battery\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/rimac-sinestack-battery\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Richard Chirgwin\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/d2e4d6f75c9033945224b9de834d9be6\"},\"headline\":\"Rimac Shifts Gears: From 400 kph Cars To 400 kW Grid Batteries\",\"datePublished\":\"2023-10-10T23:34:03+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2023-10-13T04:08:24+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/rimac-sinestack-battery\/\"},\"wordCount\":428,\"commentCount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/rimac-sinestack-battery\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/rimac-sinestack.jpg\",\"articleSection\":[\"General Solar &amp;
