What type of batteries does BYD use?

[VonMargaret]

BYD uses ternary lithium batteries and lithium iron phosphate batteries. Below is an introduction about these batteries: Battery advantages: Lithium iron phosphate batteries refer to lithium-ion batteries that use lithium iron phosphate as the cathode material. Their characteristics include the absence of precious elements such as cobalt, low raw material costs, and abundant resources of phosphorus and iron on Earth, ensuring no supply issues. They have a moderate working voltage (3.2V), high electrical capacity per unit weight (170mAh/g), high discharge power, fast charging capability, long cycle life, and high stability in high-temperature and high-heat environments. Battery disadvantages: The disadvantages are that lithium iron phosphate has some performance defects, such as low tap density and compaction density, resulting in lower energy density of lithium-ion batteries; high material preparation and battery manufacturing costs, low battery yield, and poor consistency; and poor product consistency.
