  • Kinglake Grand Designs – Domestic Case Study using SoNick batteries

    Kinglake Grand Designs Domestic Case Study using SoNick batteries Application – Off-grid Location – Kinglake, Victoria System Objective  – The client had lost his previous home on Black Saturday so the solar and storage system must survive and operate at extreme temperatures. It also fits with the ethos of a home with sustainability as its…

  • You think global warming is a sham because ‘climate has changed before?’

    A timeline of Earth’s average Temperature since the last Ice Age glaciation. Randall Munroe posted an XKCD comic  that so perfectly sums up the illogical nature of the most pervasive argument against the existence of man-made global warming: “The climate has changed before.” Let me complete that fallacy with its obvious conclusion: The climate has changed before, therefore man…

  • SoNick batteries, applications and advantages of environmentally-friendly and efficient technology

    Overview of the battery versions with sodium-nickel technology in sustainable mobility in backup and energy storage systems. FIAMM‘s sodium-nickel technology battery (salt batteries), are proving to be the most flexible ecological solution for numerous applications which range from electric mobility to energy storage in support of renewable sources and even backup systems to guarantee uninterrupted…

  • SoNick battery safe to transport

      John with the FIAMM SoNick battery on the back of the ute. There aren’t really any other batteries that can be transported so they can be displayed this easily, as most other batteries are either too heavy, too big or too dangerous to transport.

  • 2015 was the hottest year on record

    On 21st January 2016 the US based National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) confirmed that 2015 was the hottest year on record with the average global temperature climbing to 0.9oC above the 20th century average of 13.9oC. This follows the previous record in 2014 of a 0.74oC increase. 2015 was the 39th consecutive year of…

  • Operating Temperatures for Energy Storage Batteries

    The SoNick or molten salt batteries have an operating range of -20° to +60°C which makes them a much better alternative to other batteries. In Australia, we have extreme weather conditions and even in a garage in suburbia, a common place for housing a battery, the temperature can often exceed 40°C. The SoNick batteries are…

  • April 2016 temperatures sets record as hottest ever

    When you see headlines like this and on a consistent basis it makes you realise you cannot wait for governments to take action on climate change. It is up to each one of us to take the actions we can. As Margaret Meade says “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can…

  • Linda discussing Sodium Nickel battery at Bairnsdale

    Linda describing the high energy density, which is one of the superior features of our Sodium Nickel Chloride battery at a display at the East Gippsland 2016 farm day at the Bairnsdale. At 9.6kW in a battery that is only 55 cm x 50 cm x 32 cm, the FIAMM SoNick battery has one of…

  • SoNick battery presentation

    Recently GridEdge showcased our FIAMM SoNick battery to the Baw Baw sustainability group and here is a picture of Ian Conibeer talking about the Sodium Nickel battery and many of its characteristics. Among other things people were impressed with the superior operating temperature of the FIAMM SoNick battery which operates effectively, without any battery deterioration…

  • What is the best operating temperature for your battery?

    Most batteries will operate, with varying degrees of effectiveness in the 5 – 35 °C range so are fine for the autumn and spring operating months, however if you want a battery that will also operate efficiently in winter and summer you need to understand how temperature has an effect on a batteries operating capabilities. The ambient…
