Highlights
- Blade Battery offers new levels of safety, durability and performance, as well as increased battery space utilisation.
- Another unique selling point of the blade battery – which actually looks like a blade – is that it uses lithium iron-phosphate (LFP) as the cathode material, which offers a much higher level of safety than conventional lithium-ion batteries. LFP naturally has excellent thermal stability and is substantially cobalt free. LFP is also a very durable material.
- BYD has been pioneering battery technology for over two decades. 27 years on, with over 3 million battery powered cars produced for customers, BYD is firmly established as a market leader in this field
- One of the major concerns in the EV sector is battery safety. The Blade Battery has been developed for maximum safety, while offering outstanding strength, range, longevity and power. It is a battery that is ultra-safe with an ultra-strong structure for durability, while also offering ultra-long range and ultra-long lifespan. Safety is enhanced by the longer, flatter design for improved space utilization of the battery pack.
- The Blade Battery has undergone the most rigorous safety testing and exceeds the requirements of the Nail Penetration Test, the most rigorous way to test battery thermal runaway. This test simulates the consequences of a serious traffic accident and is considered ‘The Mount Everest’ among battery tests.
- Efficiency and extended range are other benefits of the Blade Battery, offering greater power density for optimal performance and efficiency, including faster charging. BYD CTP (Cell to Pack) technology makes the difference, with the Blade Battery increasing space utilization by 50%.
