Non-Hazardous Deep-Cycle Batteries for On or Off the Grid

Aquion offers high-performance “saltwater” energy storage without lead, sulfuric acid, or flammable lithium salts.

by P.J. Melton

Editor’s note December 3, 2019: Aquion is currently emerging from Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which has caused an interruption in its ability to manufacture the product and provide tech support. See the company’s FAQ for more.

For the last 50 years, saltwater batteries have been the stuff of middle school science projects and Gilligan’s Island episodes. Now they might be poised to transform how the grid integrates renewable energy.
