Salt-E Dog is a 9kWh sustainable power supply that uses salt-based power cells instead of lithium. Andrew Hutton, Head of Product Management, batteries and mobile power, Anton/Bauer, said it aims to replace small fuel generators for film or broadcast production while addressing environmental problems associated with lithium batteries. It runs at less than 20dB (equivalent to a person breathing).
“It is silent, clean and efficient, designed to be good for both the production and the environment,” he added.
The sodium batteries last about 4,500 cycles (12.5 years) at greater than 80% capacity, “much longer than lithium,” and are 100% recyclable. “It cannot catch fire. It is only 1º or 2º above ambient temperature even at full output,” stated Hutton.
The Salt-E Dog unit, which will be demoed on the Videndum stand, includes a range of power outputs: AC via four 20A 120v outlets or a 50A 125v Stage Pin connector; DC via four 16A 28v XLR3, four 16A 48v, or two 5~20v, 100W USB-C ports, totalling up to 6000W for extended off-the-grid usage. It can be recharged from AC outlets, solar PV and CCS Level 2 electric vehicle chargers.
