Cygni Energy Private Limited, a key player in energy storage solutions, has announced a strategic partnership with HiNa Battery Technologies, a global leader in Sodium-ion technology. This collaboration aims to create India-specific storage solutions using HiNa’s cutting-edge Sodium-ion cells, with a focus on sustainable and cost-effective energy alternatives to Lithium-based batteries. 🤝
Cygni Energy partners with XDLE Battery for Commercial & Industrial Energy Storage solutions. The partnership will focus on cost effective, ultra long life, custom solutions that significantly improve savings from grid connected renewable energy installations. 🤝
Through this partnership Cygni and XDLE will co-develop solutions from 20kWh to 1MWh for the Commercial and Industrial segment in India to reduce electricity tariffs for these customers and accelerate adoption of renewable energy. The solutions will be offered with industry leading warranty of 10 years or more to improve adoption and encourage participation of financing partners for galvanizing investments.
We have an exciting announcement! At Cygni we’ve always believed there will be no winner-takes-all battery chemistry. We’re extremely thrilled to launch India’s first certification ready Sodium-ion 2W battery pack! đź‘Ź
Why Sodium-ion and why now?
– First generation cells are already in commercial production
– Lower carbon emissions than Li-ion based cells
– Significantly lower risk of thermal runaway
– Superior performance at extreme temperatures
– Lower cell cost compared to Li-ion
Here’s a summary of what you can expect from our pack
> 40 to 50 km range per charge
> 30 mins fast charging
> 3000+ cycles with fast charging
> 15% capacity loss even in extreme temperatures (-20 ‘C & +55 ‘C)
Imagine being able to sweat the same pack 2 to 3 times per day and still getting a 5 year life!
If you are a 2W OEM or a swapping operator interested in validating the pack, please email us- info@cygni.com or if you are a drivetrain components manufacturer we would love to collaborate with you to co-develop a Sodium-ion drive train to accelerate adoption! 🤝

Li-ton Battery Technology:
Battery technology is progressing on several fronts. On the Energy Cost, the trend is moving away from Cobalt, due to cost and safe mining concerns. Removing C (Cobalt) from NMC (Nickel-Manganese-Cobalt) chemistry has been a key focus of research. The energy density is also improving with NMC111 to NMC532 to NMC811.
Opinion piece by Venkat Rajaraman – Chief Executive Officer, Cygni Energy Pvt Ltd
Prof Jeff Dahn’s (Dalhousie University, Canada) seminal paper, which got published after 3 years of extensive research, is touted as the “Benchmark for New Battery Technologies”. Though this paper does not describe any brand new chemistry, it is a composite of the industry’s best practices. The secret sauce is the electrolyte, with novel additives and other changes that can make the battery last longer. The paper also focuses on single crystal cathode (powder of cathode material made into a single crystal so that it doesn’t react with the surrounding electrolyte) as well as the best of cathode, anode and electrolyte materials to set the bar for achieving a million-mile battery.
