BYDs Blade Battery Factory in Chongqing

BYD allowed outsiders for the first time on Wednesday into its Chongqing, China factory that produces its Blade Battery.

More than 100 media and industry experts toured the FinDreams Battery Factory, which began production of the new battery on March 29.

The electric vehicle manufacturer developed much of the production equipment at a total investment of 10 billion yuan, or $1.4 billion USD, and has an annual production capacity of 20GWH.

The Blade Battery can be charged from 10% to 80% capacity in 33 minutes, supporting the BYD Han EVs acceleration of zero to 100 km/h, or 62 mph, in 3.9 seconds. Its accumulated mileage can reach 1.2 million km, or 745,645 mph, after 3,000 cycles of charging and discharging.

In short, the Blade Battery outpaces ternary lithium batteries and traditional lithium iron phosphate batteries among the metrics of longevity, power and strength, BYD said.

The Han EV is BYDs flagship sedan model is slated for launch later this month.

BYDs Han EV is the first electric vehicle equipped with the Blade Battery, possessing a cruising range of 605 km (375 mph) with a single charge, said Li Yunfei, vice general manager of BYD Auto Sales.

The factory has a highly specialized environment, reaching the same standards as LCD screen production.

The nature of the factorys environment can be seen in the core production process, BYD said in a statement.

Sun Huajun, vice general manager of the FinDreams Battery Factory, said the strict conditions are a necessary foundation to the Blade Batterys high safety standards.

The nearly one-meter-long pole piece can achieve tolerances of within 0.3mm, and the accuracy and speed of a single-piece lamination have an efficiency of 0.3s/pcs. This is the first of its kind in the world. This form of lamination comes from BYDs completely independent development of its equipment and cutting-edge solutions aspects that are uncopiable, he said.

The Blade Battery is a single-cell battery that can be placed in an array and inserted into a battery pack like a blade.

Compared with ternary lithium batteries and traditional lithium iron phosphate batteries, it holds notable advantages in its high safety, long range and enduring longevity, BYD said.
