Featured New Bluetooth Sodium Ion 12 Volt Battery

For Sodium Ion it doesn't really matter because the Sodium Ion 12v is capable of going to 15.5v which most existing 12v chargers won't reach. Which is OK because it doesn't have to go to 100%.

 

The only company I can find that makes Sodium Ion cells now in China is CATL. So it would be interesting if others make them. But CATL is already making plans for next gen Sodium Ions with greater capacity as good as Lithium and charges as fast or faster.

Actually there is another called HiNa. Could be that one too.

Yes, CATL is one of the well-known manufacturers of sodium-ion cells. However, CATL produces several different sodium-ion cell models with dramatically different specifications, particularly when it comes to the minimum charging temperature.

That's why it would be very interesting to know which specific cells are used in the NexPower 12V battery. Without that information, it's difficult to draw conclusions about its low-temperature charging performance.

 

You can put your name on the list and when they arrive, Jack will notify you.

 

I did. I don't normally check my emails much on weekends. I did see his post here and assumed he had some in stock. They were in stock. I added all the items I wanted into the cart. When ready to check out. It was out of stock. It's ok. I'm in no rush to buy yet.

I will think about putting my 12v pack battery in the freezer for one week and then run some test and start up the Prius with a frozen 12v. But for now I don't have room in my freezer. But will think about that soon.

 

WHY would you put the 12v battery in the freezer? Not cool.

 

Because Sodium Ion is supposed to operate in extreme temperature conditions. There are drivers in the Arctic areas that have to drive too. Actually more temps in the US are reaching Arctic temps more commonly now.

 

??? Are you going to be driving in the artic? I can picture the Prius trying to drive there!

"Actually more temps in the US are reaching Arctic temps more commonly now"
Seriously?

 

How many people here have experienced 0f to -10f within the last 5 years? Just in the US alone.

 

Fewer than a generation ago, from everything I read. I've certainly experienced them less often this century than back in the 1970s-90s.

During a south & east severe cold snap a few years ago, a point was mentioned that while such events were becoming less common, so were people's memories of and preparations for them, so for large numbers of people they seemed worse. Severe cold waves that used to happen about once every 4 to 5 years, had diminished to once every 20-ish years. Almost a whole generation of people had grown during that time, and thus had no memory of it getting that cold before. And a lot more building construction as getting cold-tested for the first time.

 

I think I took a screenshot of the US in subzero temps from 5 years ago. I'm trying to look for it. It was showing -10f in some areas. A big chunk of the US was frozen. Some as far low as Texas.
