While lithium will still play a minor role in applications where weight is top priority, Sodium can replace lithium where cost, performance, and safety, are more important.

Sodium is best used on electrically dependent aircraft where the battery must be 'fault tolerant' (agm) vs 'fault sensitive' (lithium) to absorb any voltage fluctuations/spikes.

Sodium batteries made to your specifications

Sodium excels over lead and lithium in many aapects

SODIUM AIRCRAFT BATTERIES ! !
WHY SODIUM ?
1. predictable voltage curve 2. No BMS failure points 3. Simple, not complex like lithium 4. Wider temperature operating range, cold temp resilience. 5 .Ah capacity very similar to lithium. 6. Cranking power similar to lithium.
7. Reliability on par or > lead or lithium 8. No ' fault ' lite needed 9. Less expensive than lithium 10. Won't cut itself off from the electrical system 11. Cannot be overcharged or over discharged vs lithium
12. Slightly heavier than lithium to aid in weight and balance
13. Imitates lithium's charging voltage and lead acid's natural charging current limit so, easier on your alternator 14. Life span 8+ years 15. About 85% the cost of similar lithium
