According to He Long, Vice President of BYD and Chairman of FinDreams Battery Co, the Blade batteries have four advantages: BYD was one of the first companies to use a battery thermal management system (BMS) to ensure that the temperature of the batteries remains at the optimum level in all extreme weather conditions.
The energy efficiency of BYD Blade batteries is so high that it allows the company to produce NEVs with some of the industry’s longest ranges. The company’s efforts in the development of battery technology over the last 27 years have truly paid off. Despite the nail penetrating the battery, the temperature remained under control. Image: BYD
Image BYD The Blade battery comes with a lithium-ion phosphate (LFP) chemistry as opposed to the usual nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) mix. Instead of having multiple modules, the BYD Blade Battery stacks all the cells together, saving over 50% space compared to other battery blocks.
That’s not it. BYD put the Blade battery into a 300º C furnace from which the unit emerged unscathed. Even after overcharging it to 260%, no fire or explosion was reported. BYD performed an extreme structure test where a 46-tonne truck drove over the Blade battery, but that didn’t cause leakage, deformation, or smoke.
Now, BYD wants to improve on its already successful battery design with something that’s better in pretty much every way. According to BYD’s chairman Wang Chuanfu, the new blade battery will have more efficient power consumption so its future EVs get better range and performance.
Reports have emerged that the Chinese automaker is developing a second-generation Blade battery. The reported energy density varies between 180 Wh/kg to 190 Wh/kg, which is at least 20% better over the current energy density of 150 Wh/kg.
