With a “Blade-like” design, the battery is built for maximum safety while offering “ultra-long range and ultra-long lifespan.” The longer, flatter design saves space and weight for better efficiency. BYD is set to change the game again with its next-generation Blade EV battery.
FinDreams, BYD’s battery unit, launched the first-generation Blade battery in 2020, revolutionizing the industry. BYD’s Blade batteries power Tesla, Ford, Kia, Hyundai, Toyota, and other popular electric vehicles from major automakers. The batteries are a major reason behind BYD’s success.
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%.
BYD’s new Blade battery will be even more efficient than before, unlocking greater driving range from a smaller pack. Chinese automotive giant BYD is reportedly set to launch its next-generation Blade battery in August, boasting significant range gains over its current power packs.
China’s EV giant confirmed the advanced batteries will unlock even more driving range for its next-gen electric cars. It’s been over four years since BYD’s battery unit FinDreams launched the first Blade battery in 2020. The advanced LFP batteries propelled BYD to become one of the world’s largest EV and battery makers today.
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.
