A higher-temperature process could support industrial applications. It operates at over 200 °C, reacting aluminium with steam to generate aluminium oxide, hydrogen and additional heat. [3] The ionic aluminium could be stored at the smelter. One approach charges the battery at a smelter, and discharges it wherever power and heat are needed. [3]
The safe temperature range when in use is between −20 °C and 45 °C. During charging, the battery temperature typically stays low, around the same as the ambient temperature (the charging reaction absorbs energy), but as the battery nears full charge the temperature will rise to 45–50 °C.
The battery has a temperature characteristic very different to lithium-ion batteries. The official temperature range is -20 to 60 °C. Compared with 20 °C, the battery undergoes about a 15% reduction in available capacity at -20 °C which is not that unusual. However: at 60 °C, the battery exhibits an additional 5-10% capacity.
A rechargeable battery, storage battery, or secondary cell (formally a type of energy accumulator), is a type of electrical battery which can be charged, discharged into a load, and recharged many times, as opposed to a disposable or primary battery, which is supplied fully charged and discarded after use.
This battery pack features an expected range of over 400 kilometres (250 mi), 4C fast charging capability, the ability to be discharged at −40 °C (−40 °F), and no difference to the driving experience at −20 °C (−4 °F).
Under certain conditions, some battery chemistries are at risk of thermal runaway, leading to cell rupture or combustion. As thermal runaway is determined not only by cell chemistry but also cell size, cell design and charge, only the worst-case values are reflected here.

A lithium-ion or Li-ion battery is a type of rechargeable battery that uses the reversible intercalation of Li + ions into electronically conducting solids to store energy. In comparison with other commercial rechargeable batteries, Li-ion batteries are characterized by higher specific energy, higher energy density, higher energy efficiency, a longer cycle life, and a longer calendar life.
