BYD, a leading electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer, has unveiled its revolutionary Blade Battery, addressing concerns about battery safety in EVs. The Blade Battery has been developed over several years and aims to redefine safety standards for the entire industry.
The Blade Battery’s unique design and structure enhance safety while increasing space utilization in the battery pack by over 50% compared to conventional lithium iron phosphate block batteries. It successfully passed the rigorous nail penetration test, which evaluates thermal runaway, without emitting smoke or fire. In contrast, a ternary lithium battery reached temperatures exceeding 500°C and violently burned, while a conventional lithium iron phosphate block battery reached dangerous temperatures of 200 to 400°C.
Additionally, the Blade Battery passed extreme test conditions, including crushing, bending, exposure to high temperatures, and overcharging. None of these tests resulted in a fire or explosion. Its advantages include a high starting temperature for exothermic reactions, slow heat release, low heat generation, and the ability to not release oxygen during breakdowns or easily catch fire.
The Blade Battery’s impressive safety features have garnered interest from various vehicle brands seeking partnerships with BYD. The company is willing to collaborate with global partners to achieve mutually beneficial outcomes for the entire industry.
The Blade Battery will debut in BYD’s flagship sedan model, the Han EV, which is set for launch in June. The Han EV offers a remarkable cruising range of 605 kilometers and accelerates from 0 to 100km/h in just 3.9 seconds.
