Australian energy storage specialist Redflow is selling its batteries in Asian countries where telecommunications have leap-frogged copper lines into wireless telephony and broadband.

Many Asian nations have jumped straight to cellular network-based phone and Internet services because they lack the copper-based communication networks that exist in countries like Australia.

As a result, Redflow is pursuing a demand in Asia for its zinc-bromine flow batteries to power mobile telecommunication towers located in areas without reliable electricity supplies.

Redflow is an energy storage specialist that has developed the world’s smallest zinc-bromine flow batteries.

Redflow’s 48-volt 10 kilowatt hour (kWh) flow batteries solve many of the problems that impact the region’s telecommunications providers, including the ability to operate in hot conditions without active cooling; 100 per cent depth of discharge on a daily basis; long-term storage at any state of charge – from empty to full – without damaging the battery; and construction materials with minimal resale value, making them less attractive to thieves.

Redflow has also benefitted from attending regional events such as the Tower Xchange conference, held in Singapore. The annual event attracts attendees from around the region, which has repeatedly introduced Redflow to senior executives from large Asian companies.
