Geely Auto Group has launched its latest lithium iron phosphate short blade battery, promising exceptional battery life, fast charging, and unparalleled safety. This innovation sets a new standard in the EV battery industry with its compact design, higher energy density, and flexibility in pack designs.
Key Highlights:
- Industry-leading safety features with high-thermal stability and Self-Fusing technology.
- Extreme testing protocols including 8-needle puncture and rifle bullet penetration tests.
- Longevity and reliability with a 1-million kilometer safe driving capacity.
- Enhanced charging performance reducing charging time significantly.
- Superior cold environment performance maintaining high capacity retention.
New Standards for Safety
The New Short Blade EV Battery Technology employs a high-strength, heat-resistant diaphragm paired with safe electrodes, ensuring higher energy density and safety. Geely’s Self-Fusing technology blocks short circuits during accidents, creating an insulating layer to prevent thermal runaway.
The battery has surpassed standard safety tests, enduring an 8-needle puncture test without adverse effects. It also withstood a 5.8mm infantry rifle bullet penetration test, demonstrating no thermal ignition.
Exceeding Industry Benchmarks
Geely’s battery has endured the industry’s first ‘Six Extremes’ serial test:
- Seawater corrosion immersion
- Extreme cold environment
- High-frequency pack bottom scraping
- 26-ton overweight rolling
- Single-pack side collision
- Fire roasting
Thanks to its patented grid frame design and multiple safety features, the battery showed no thermal runaway, smoke, ignition, or combustion.
1-Million Kilometer Safe Driving
The battery‘s multi-element doped electrode materials and low internal resistance reduce chemical reaction rates, extending the battery life. Geely’s tests indicate a cycle life of 3,500 cycles, equating to 1 million kilometers with minimal impact on range. This longevity translates to a service life of up to 50 years, enhancing residual value and reducing carbon emissions significantly.
Super-Fast Charging and Stable Cold Temperature Performance
Geely’s battery addresses high internal resistance issues with long, thin carbon nanotubes for improved ion transmission and fast charging. Test data show a charging time of 17 minutes from 10-80% SOC with an average rate of 2.45C, outperforming long blade batteries.
In extreme cold environments, the new battery maintains a capacity retention rate of 90.54% at -30℃, surpassing the 78.96% of long blade batteries.
Geely’s New Short Blade EV Battery Technology is poised to revolutionize the EV battery market, offering unparalleled safety, longevity, and performance.
