The first generation of blade batteries was launched in 2020, with high energy density and cost advantages

BYD launched the first generation of blade batteries in 2020, with an energy density of 140Wh/kg and a volume energy density of 230Wh/L, which are significantly superior to similar products. In addition, the battery's range is comparable to that of ternary lithium batteries. At the same time, innovations have been made in materials, structure, battery management, and manufacturing processes, reducing the number of parts by 40% and costs by 30%.
