BYD's Blade Battery Technology

Safety Meets Innovation

One of the most significant concerns about electric vehicles is battery safety. BYD’s Blade Battery technology addresses this concern head-on. The Blade Battery is a groundbreaking innovation that redefines safety standards in the EV industry. Even providing their Blade Batteries to other companies, including TeslaToyotaMercedesFord and Kia.

Unlike traditional lithium-ion batteries, the Blade Battery features a robust and reliable design, minimizing the risk of thermal runaway and ensuring your peace of mind on the road. While the design is game-changing as far as auto manufacture is concerned, it’s the world class battery safety that makes the Blade Battery so desirable.

Say goodbye to battery fire concerns! In rigorous industry tests, this powerhouse demonstrated its resilience by shrugging off nail punctures that typically trigger battery fires.

Not stopping there, the Blade Battery fearlessly faced a 46-ton truck test—way beyond industry standards. It not only survived the impact but also aced the leakage, deformation, and fire assessments! Watch for yourself below.

A Battery to be proud of

No other battery in the world has ever passed the infamous “nail penetration test” as well as our Blade Battery. In this test, they pound a metal pin through a battery with great force to see what happens. And in the case of the Blade Battery, it was … almost nothing! No smoke and the temperature never got above 60℃. While others can sometimes burn for 24 hours at hundreds of degrees. But that’s not the only thing that makes us so proud of our battery.

Better

 

A battery that’s better

BYD have developed the Blade Battery based on Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP). Apart from all the technical advantages, such as the safer heat and cooling properties, this has an even greater advantage: BYD batteries contain no nickel and no cobalt! That is so much better for people, planet and in use. In short: safer AND better.

Stonger

 

A battery that’s stronger

Could it be any more robust? By building the cells in the pack as long, slender ‘Blades’, they can be positioned to become an integral part of the structure. Together with the aluminum honeycomb structure and reinforced panels, this makes the Blade Battery the strongest battery ever.

More Reliable

 

A battery that’s more robust

The Blade Battery’s clever construction and shape has another advantage: greater efficiency! The space in the pack is utilized 50% more compared to traditional batteries. There is “much more battery” in BYD batteries – and therefore more energy, more power and greater range. With more than 5,000 charge and discharge cycles, the Blade Battery also offers you an extra long life.

27 Years in Development

Since the company’s founding, BYD have been designing and building batteries entirely in-house. This has helped them develop seamless energy solutions that enable and drive their ambitions in mobility. Those decades of innovation, knowledge and expertise have resulted in a battery that performs better in every conceivable way.
