I. Three Layers of Change in This New Product
According to the official website news of Yangzhou Dongtai Solar Energy, this Torchn sodium-ion energy storage battery launch includes three verifiable points:
Clear cell source: Adopts a Veken cell designated PACK factory solution, making the cell supply chain traceable.
AI smart management: Built-in AI smart management system supports real-time monitoring and weather-adaptive strategies.
OEM/ODM availability: Open to overseas traders and distributors for private labeling and customization.
This means the Lanyu LANYU / Torchn product line has expanded from "gel lead-acid + lithium iron phosphate" to "gel lead-acid + lithium iron phosphate + sodium-ion", giving users in different climates and with different budgets one more option.
II. Torchn Sodium-ion Energy Storage Battery On-Sale Model Matrix
The following models can all be found with real sales links in the product center on the official website:
Model positioning | Voltage | Capacity | Estimated energy | Product details |
Wall-mounted residential energy storage sodium battery | 51.3V | 50Ah | Approx. 2.565 kWh | id=64 |
Wall-mounted residential energy storage sodium battery | 51.3V | 100Ah | Approx. 5.13 kWh | id=65 |
Rack-mounted energy storage sodium battery | 51.3V | 50Ah | Approx. 2.565 kWh | id=23 |
Rack-mounted energy storage sodium battery | 51.3V | 100Ah | Approx. 5.13 kWh | id=25 |
Rack-mounted energy storage sodium battery | 51.3V | 170Ah | Approx. 8.72 kWh | id=28 |
Energy is estimated as Energy (kWh) = Voltage (V) × Capacity (Ah) ÷ 1000; for example, 51.3V × 50Ah ÷ 1000 ≈ 2.565 kWh.
III. Sodium-ion vs. Lithium Iron Phosphate: Key Differences
Comparison dimension | Sodium-ion battery (Torchn sodium battery) | Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) |
Low-temperature performance | Better low-temperature capacity retention; suitable for northern/high-altitude areas | Noticeable low-temperature degradation; often requires heating |
Safety | Higher thermal runaway temperature; materials are non-flammable | Relatively safe by itself, but still requires BMS protection |
Energy density | Lower than LFP; slightly larger volume | Higher; more space-saving |
Raw materials | Abundant sodium resources; large long-term cost reduction potential | Affected by lithium price fluctuations |
Environmental friendliness | No lithium, no cobalt, no nickel | Contains lithium; mature recycling system |
It should be emphasized that sodium-ion batteries and LFP are not substitutes: the former is superior in low-temperature performance, safety, and long-term cost, while the latter is superior in energy density and space occupation. Yangzhou Dongtai Solar Energy offers both chemistries simultaneously, so users can combine them according to their scenarios.
IV. What Exactly Does AI Smart Management Manage?
The AI smart management built into Torchn sodium-ion energy storage batteries revolves around two main lines:
Real-time monitoring: Keep track of cell voltage, temperature, SOC, and fault status anytime via Bluetooth/cloud platform.
Weather adaptation: Dynamically adjust charging and discharging strategies according to sunlight and weather forecasts, improving self-consumption and extending service life.
Combined with multiple layers of protection logic (overvoltage, undervoltage, voltage difference, overtemperature, short circuit, communication failure, etc.), safety and availability are guaranteed in both home and off-grid scenarios.
V. From a Trader's Perspective: What Does "Veken Cell + OEM/ODM" Mean?
Concern | Value to traders |
Veken cell designated PACK factory | Traceable cell source and stronger quality consistency |
AI smart management | Differentiated selling point for high-end market promotion |
OEM/ODM | Private labeling and customizable voltage/capacity/appearance |
Certification baseline | Ships with UN38.3 / MSDS / CE, shortening customs clearance |
Yangzhou Dongtai Solar Energy has more than 30 years of factory strength (a gel lead-acid battery factory plus a lithium battery inverter factory), and its products have been sold to more than 100 countries and regions worldwide, serving as a reference benchmark for traders screening source factories.
VI. Calculation Example: Sodium Battery Configuration for a Northern Villa
Assume a villa in the north consumes 9 kWh per day and requires 2 days of self-sufficiency without PV, and the usable depth of discharge (DoD) of the sodium battery is taken as 0.9:
Required usable energy = 9 kWh × 2 ÷ 0.9 ≈ 20 kWh
Choose 4 × wall-mounted 51.3V 100Ah (about 5.13 kWh, id=65) = about 20.5 kWh
After paralleling, the system voltage remains 51.3V, with a total capacity of 400 Ah
This configuration meets two-day self-sufficiency and takes advantage of the sodium battery's low-temperature performance, eliminating the need for heating film.
VII. Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How is this new Torchn sodium battery product different from previous ones?
A: The core differences are the explicit adoption of a Veken cell designated PACK factory, the addition of AI smart management (real-time monitoring + weather adaptation), and the opening of OEM/ODM. The chemistry is still sodium-ion, so the low-temperature and safety advantages continue.
Q2: Is AI smart management useful for ordinary households?
A: Yes. Real-time monitoring lets you know the battery health at any time, and weather adaptation can fully charge before cloudy/rainy days and prioritize PV consumption on sunny days. In the long run, it improves self-consumption and slows degradation.
Q3: How to choose between sodium-ion and lithium iron phosphate?
A: For northern, high-altitude, low-temperature areas, or when long-term cost and safety are priorities, choose sodium-ion first; for space-constrained applications or when pursuing higher energy density, choose LFP first. The two can complement each other.
Q4: Can overseas traders do private labeling?
A: Yes. This launch explicitly supports OEM/ODM, and products ship with UN38.3 / MSDS / CE for easier customs clearance and localized promotion.
Q5: If I buy too few, can I add more later?
A: Yes. The same series supports parallel expansion of multiple units. For example, on the 51.3V platform, you can add modules of the same model when capacity is insufficient.
