The fireproof battery
The battery that should have been installed in the A-Class was a so-called salt battery. In contrast to most other batteries, in which the cathode and anode are immersed in a shared pool of liquid electrolyte, the electrolyte in a salt battery is a solid, namely a ceramic ion conductor based on sodium aluminum oxide.

Salt batteries: The fireproof battery
Even in remote and exposed locations, the long-lasting and maintenance-free salt batteries can do their job reliably for decades. However, the operating temperature is also a disadvantage of this battery technology: Salt batteries need active heating to be ready for use. How can a battery that needs electricity be at all cost-effective?

6 FAQs about [Gabon salt based batteries]
Could Your Electronics be powered by a'molten salt' battery?
Lithium - the main component in most electric batteries - can be costly to mine. But researchers have made a breakthrough with alternative ‘molten salt’ batteries. Your electronics could soon be powered by an ultra cheap sea salt battery. Researchers have built a new cheap battery with four times the energy storage capacity of lithium.
Could Your Electronics be powered by a cheap sea salt battery?
Your electronics could soon be powered by an ultra cheap sea salt battery. Researchers have built a new cheap battery with four times the energy storage capacity of lithium. Constructed from sodium-sulphur - a type of molten salt that can be processed from sea water - the battery is low-cost and more environmentally friendly than existing options.
Are molten salt batteries a new technology?
The media fuss that was generated after the episode of the well-known Italian TV programme LE IENE on 18 October 2022 entitled “ Renewables, the storage and battery revolution ” brought the topic of molten salt batteries into the spotlight. This technology is certainly interesting, but neither new nor perfect, as instead it was described.
Who invented the ZEBRA battery based on molten salt?
One of the solutions to the energy crisis was the development of the ZEBRA battery (Zeolite Battery Research Africa) based on molten salt, first studied by South African researcher Johan Coetzer at the CSIR (Council for Scientific and Industrial Research) and patented in 1978.
Could a sustainable battery reshape the battery market?
The battery’s composition, primarily sodium, iron, carbon, and nitrogen, showcases a sustainable alternative that could reshape the battery market. Northvolt ‘s commitment extends beyond just developing an alternative battery technology.
Are molten salt batteries the new 'inferior alternative'?
Molten salt batteries aren’t a new concept. They’ve been around for 50 years, but they’ve been an ‘inferior alternative’ with a short energy life cycle. But this new battery is different. Scientists altered the electrodes to improve the reactivity of the sulphur - a key element determining storage capacity.
