Nilar has developed a method for multiplying the life of its Nilar Hydride batteries (NiMH). After years of research at its Swedish and US R&D centers, and in close collaboration with leading researchers from Stockholm University, the company made the game-changing announcement in December 2018. The limited lifetime of batteries is an issue for users. The Nilar Hydride batteries will be able to handle considerably more charging cycles and thus store and deliver far more energy throughout their lifetime than other industrial battery technologies. This equates to a significantly reduced cost per kWh, which provides the lowest total cost of battery energy storage available on the global market. The robust, safe and environmentally-friendly characteristics of the battery are unaffected by this breakthrough.
