Energy Vault agrees 10GWh Rept Battero battery deal

Chinese lithium-ion battery manufacturer Rept Battero has agreed a deal with US energy storage company Energy Vault to supply 10GWh of batteries, with initial deliveries scheduled for Q3 2023.

The deal will see Rept Battero initially deliver 280Ah batteries, followed by the company's ‘Wending Battery’, which is “designed for larger capacity and greater life cycle”.
