Is BYD's Battery Lithium Iron Phosphate or Lithium Battery?
2 Answers
BYD models use both lithium iron phosphate batteries and lithium batteries, with the choice depending on different vehicle categories. Below is relevant information about BYD: 1. Brand History: BYD Company Limited was founded in 1995, starting with a team of over 20 people. By 2003, it had grown into the world's second-largest rechargeable battery manufacturer and established BYD Auto in the same year. Originally a battery manufacturer, BYD initially played the role of an 'outsider' in the automotive industry. However, leveraging its 'independent intellectual property rights' and the acquisition of Qinchuan Auto, BYD gained a first-mover advantage over other newcomers. 2. Brand Introduction: BYD Auto adheres to a development path of independent research, production, and branding, committed to creating truly affordable and high-quality vehicles for the public. The product designs incorporate advanced international trends while aligning with Chinese cultural aesthetics.
I remember BYD primarily uses lithium iron phosphate batteries in their electric vehicles, abbreviated as LFP. For example, the Blade Battery is this type. Its energy density is slightly lower than ternary lithium batteries, but it has a longer lifespan, is safer, less prone to overheating and catching fire, and is also cheaper. BYD's new models like the DM-i series are promoting this, making electric vehicles more affordable for more people. I've driven a BYD car before, and it can run about 500 kilometers on a single charge. Even in winter, the range doesn't drop too much, which is quite reassuring. Of course, earlier models used ternary lithium, but now LFP is the mainstream. I think this choice is very smart, considering both environmental protection and practicality. If you buy a BYD, nine times out of ten it will have a lithium iron phosphate battery, but it's best to check the specific model's description to avoid confusion. This technology also makes the battery more durable, basically eliminating the need for frequent replacements, saving on maintenance costs.
