Battery Solutions

Space-proven storage for the grid

Nickel-hydrogen battery technology redesigned for terrestrial grid-scale, industrial, remote and critical infrastructure applications.

Technology

Nickel-hydrogen, redesigned for terrestrial duty

Space heritage

A chemistry built for unforgiving duty cycles

Nickel-hydrogen batteries have delivered decades of orbital service life on platforms including Hubble and the ISS. Novohydro adapts that safety and longevity for stationary storage where replacement cycles, fire risk and uptime matter.

Terrestrial economics

A proprietary catalyst removes the legacy cost barrier

Novohydro's proprietary catalyst replaces precious-metal palladium and platinum pathways with earth-abundant materials, targeting durable stationary systems at commercial grid and industrial economics.

Why NiH2 wins

Novohydro targets the applications where lifetime, safety and resilience drive total value.

The strongest argument is not only $/kWh. It is cost per useful cycle, combined with safety and environmental profile.

20,000+

Cycle life

Decades of daily cycling. Around 6x lithium-ion at typical duty.

Novohydro NiH2 is among the few technologies under approximately $100/kWh that pairs 20,000+ cycles with inherent safety. Our NiH2 batteries are designed for superior cycle life, high round-trip efficiency, wide temperature tolerance and inherent safety without scarce or flammable materials. With long service life and full recyclability, they offer a sustainable, circular alternative to conventional lithium-ion technology.
