EQONIC Unveils New Battery Technology Free of Lithium and Rare Earths

EQONIC announced a new battery technology on October 8, 2025, that eliminates lithium, sodium, and rare earth metals. The company aims to lower renewable energy adoption barriers by reducing expenses and enhancing safety. EQONIC's battery system uses materials costing 30% less than conventional lithium-ion batteries. This could potentially reduce production costs to £50 per kilowatt-hour. The current industry average is nearly double that amount. The new technology removes the risk of thermal runaway, a common cause of fires in standard battery systems. EQONIC sources materials responsibly to ensure battery safety and sustainability across applications. The company plans to license its technology and collaborate with established manufacturers. This strategy aims to mitigate risks and costs associated with large-scale battery production. EQONIC focuses on creating a sustainable energy storage system. The company intends to contribute to a greener energy future through partnerships and technology licensing. The battery composition avoids reliance on conflict minerals and promotes environmental responsibility. EQONIC's approach addresses key concerns about the long-term viability of battery technology.
