Endure Battery Technology Founded in 2015, Gelion have developed the industry leading Zinc Bromide (ZnBr) battery technology that delivers a safe, cost-effective, long-life alternative to lithium-ion and lead acid (PbA) battery technologies. Gelion''s Endure
Zinc-bromide battery for stationary energy storage from Australia. Australian startup Gelion is seeking to commercialize a non-flow zinc-bromide battery based on a stable gel replacing a flowing
Introduction The increasing demand for reliable and efficient energy storage systems, 1, 2 driven by the growing market share of sustainable energy alternatives, has led to the prominence of electrochemical batteries with high energy density and long durability. 3 Although significant progress has been made in developing advanced Li-ion
Zinc Bromine Flow Batteries. Zinc bromine flow batteries or Zinc bromine redux flow batteries (ZBFBs or ZBFRBs) are a type of rechargeable electrochemical energy storage system that relies on the redox reactions between zinc and bromine. Like all flow batteries, ZFBs are unique in that the electrolytes are not solid
Gelion''s Zinc Hybrid battery uses a unique gel that transforms traditional zinc hybrid technology into a more effective energy store device. Gelion''s Zn redox chemistry is based on non-toxic materials that are low cost and globally well distributed. The technology has very strong Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) credentials that
However, using a flow battery requires a container for the zinc bromide solution. Non-flow batteries, with no such container required, are therefore more compact. Another distinctive feature is in terms of the specific density of energy storage — in flow batteries, this fluctuates between 60 to 85 watt hours (Wh) per kilogram, whereas in non
Additionally, the zinc-bromine battery composition is also more stable, with Gelion reporting that its gel withstands temperatures as low as 5 degrees (F) and as high as 122 degrees (F).

The big difference with Gelion Endure is that it''s a non-flow battery that uses, as the name suggests, a gel approach. Professor Maschmeyer says it''s not economical to produce the amount of lithium-ion batteries that will be required as the world moves towards a renewable energy future and zinc is 9 times cheaper per electron transfer than lithium
A major benefit of this decision is that Gelion can use existing manufacturing lines for lead-acid batteries by converting them at relatively low cost to
Sep 30, 2022. 0. Battery Storage. A battery manufacturing facility capable of producing two megawatt-hours a year of Australia made "safe and durable" gel-based zinc bromide batteries has been
The zinc-bromide battery developer on Friday opened an Aussie battery manufacturing facility in Fairfield NSW, with partner Energy Power Solutions, using existing lead-acid battery manufacturing infrastructure to produce its gel-based zinc bromide battery ''Endure''. The plant will be able to produce 2 megawatt hours of batteries
While the capacity of zinc bromide batteries doesn''t decline over time, their efficiency does, as is the case with all batteries. I don''t know if the decrease in efficiency will be better or worse than a
This Australian startup champions zinc-bromide batteries that use gels rather than the pumps and mechanics of a flow battery. The result, they say, is robust, durable, non-flammable storage made
