Our Solutions Engineer Alex Reyes recently joined Team Australia at The Battery Show North America 2025 at the largest and most comprehensive advanced battery and EV technology event in the world.
Team Australia brought together representatives from CSIRO, QUT and leading Australian energy innovators, showcasing local expertise and strengthening connections across the global clean energy sector.
Hosted in Detroit from 6–9 October, the show brought together over 21,000 attendees, 1,300 exhibitors and 150+ expert speakers, covering everything from raw mineral extraction to cell manufacturing, recycling and grid-scale energy storage.
“Being here gave me a deeper respect for the full battery-manufacturing ecosystem. From raw minerals to insulation, tape, and transport - every component plays a role. It really changed how I think about the entire process chain and what it means for future solutions.”
— Alex Reyes, Solutions Engineer, Decon Corporation
Beyond the technology, Alex found immense value in the networking opportunities through connecting with global leaders in battery innovation, sustainability and research. The event also showcased emerging trends in supply-chain integration, battery safety and next-generation chemistries, all of which align closely with Decon’s focus on delivering smarter, more resilient energy solutions.
As HORIEN’s exclusive Australian distributor and authorised refurbisher, Decon is deeply invested in the evolution of sodium metal chloride battery technologies, which is a chemistry known for its safety, durability and suitability to Australian conditions. Events like The Battery Show provide invaluable insights into how these technologies fit within the broader global energy landscape.
The show reinforced a growing truth across the industry … that batteries are no longer just components; they’re critical infrastructure. Understanding how each layer of production, safety, and logistics integrates is key to shaping the next generation of energy technology.
