# Lithium-free sodium batteries exit the lab and enter US production

**[Hacker News](https://daily.dev/sources/hn)** · 3 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Sodium-ion batteries offer a lithium-free alternative with higher power, faster recharge, longer lifespan, and a safe chemistry. Natron Energy has officially commenced production of its sodium batteries, which are made from abundantly available commodity materials. The batteries have faster cycling and are non-flammable, making them attractive for stationary uses. The production facility aims to serve as a model for future gigawatt-scale facilities.
