  1. Christopher Chico:

    "$29 billion of batteries came from China in 2025.
    (after 9 years of EU battery policy)

    I think this says a lot about what Europe actually built."

    $29 billion of batteries came ...

  2. “Next year, even if the US-Iran conflict eases up, things might recover, but it won’t hit last year’s level,” Hou said.

    “So it’s very likely demand peaked last year.”

  3. #battchat Question for the battery crowd: It wasn't that long ago that the discussion was about which tech could do 8-12 hour BESS because lithium couldn't. Is lithium now winning here due to low cost and the ability to just stack 4 hour batteries to achieve longer duration?

  4. @davidfickling.bsky.social: "In the past, most of us had no alternative to a world dominated by oil and gas. Cheap solar and wind started to erode that proposition in the 2010s. It’s the plummeting price of batteries since 2022 that will prove the real game changer." #alwaysbecharging #battchat

  5. @iolahughes.bsky.social: "China - the largest BESS market - brought online more capacity in December alone than the US - the second-largest BESS market - did in the full year! 🤯🤯" #battchat nitter.net/RhoMoIola/st...

  6. Tphuang: "Battery type & packing breakdowns: Passenger Vehicles - 76% LFP! Coach & Trucks - 99% LFP Packing type is 98.6% rectangular packs. Again, mkt is only shifting away from ternary batteries in cylindrical battery pack to rectangular LFP over time." #battchat nitter.net/tphuang/stat...

  7. Xiaoying You: "Nearly 80% of CATL’s overseas investment has been in Europe. The company has pumped $12.3 billion into three production hubs, according to the September analysis. Its German facility is up and running, while its plants in Hungary and Spain are under construction." #battchat

  8. @kevingshang.bsky.social: "BYD’s 10C fast-charging battery teardown reveals a wet-process separator with 66.58% porosity, way above the typical 35–55%. High porosity = better electrolyte uptake → faster ion transport → lower resistance: Huge factor behind insane 10C performance." #battchat

  9. future 168 stalls, now: 11 MW of solar, 10 Megapack 🔋🔋🔋 8 months construction time; 📍 Lost Hills, CA 🇺🇸 84 stalls now open: solely powered by the sun and operating off-grid (!) 🌞🌞🌞 #battchat #alwaysbecharging Enough juice to charge 1,000 cars a day off solar assuming 7.5 solar hours/ day and 82kWh

  10. #battchat From over on LinkedIn from Dave Jones. Batteries are the fossil fuel killer. And the price is right. "But in a sign of just how fast-moving this industry is, 22GWh has just been contracted via auction for just $51-80/KWh - that's less than half the average price last year"

    This is nuts... | Dave Jones

  11. Here we go... this year will likely be especially rough. If anyone (esp. in #CompChem, #BattChat, or #Catalysis) wants advice or a friendly app. reader, feel free to DM me. I've gone through the process twice, once in the US and once in Europe. Not an expert, but hopefully helpful. #ChemSky

  12. Denmark's Biggest Battery Came Online Yesterday!
    🔋 30MW/43MWh 🔋

    "Located on Bornholm, specifically the town of Hasle, where the submarine cable that supplies power to the island comes in from Sweden"

    It can power Bornholm completely for 1.5h it is said #EWII
    #alwaysbecharging #battchat

    ‘In this way, the battery provides a basic level of security of supply, which can otherwise be difficult to ensure when we're talking about islands,’ he emphasises.

  13. #battchat I don't think people realize the debt we owe to the scientists and engineers who have made such amazing gains in clean tech in the recent past. This is some stunning stuff. All while the world's most powerful people tried to stop it.

  14. #battchat “Sodium-ion battery technology is no longer a research achievement in laboratories,” Gao Huan, chief technology officer for EV business at CATL Wild to watch the world move ahead in the energy transition and the clowns in the US talk about bringing back coal.

  15. What is a phrase you never hear about fossil fuels? "As demand soars and prices keep falling..." #battchat One more reason storage is the fossil fuel killer.

  16. A Northvolt engineer recently did a reddit AMA I recommend you read it.. #alwaysbecharging #battchat #energysky "Some remarkable details about how Tesla management practices were actually quite destructive." x.com/_gabriel_U/s...

  17. "The total capacity of the site is the equivalent of powering >3.1 million homes, substantially more than all the households in Scotland, for two hours." #battchat

  18. "He said he sees battery development growing more rapidly in 2025 as material costs have fallen and renewables have been built more quickly than expected." #battchat

  19. Lars Lysdahl: "Sub $30 batteries sound insane today. But sub $50 sounded insane only a year ago." #alwaysbecharging #battchat #energysky
