GAC Aion uses the 'Magazine Battery'. Here are some details about GAC Aion's Magazine Battery: 1. The Magazine Battery released by GAC Aion is a comprehensive safety technology that enhances the intrinsic safety of the battery cells, strengthens passive safety measures, and includes software-based active protection. It is an integrated hardware and software solution with high defensive capabilities. 2. The Magazine Battery released by GAC Aion features four core technologies that improve the safety of ternary lithium batteries. The Magazine Battery has highly heat-resistant and stable battery cells, with the heat resistance temperature of the cells increased by 30%.
I've been driving the GAC Aion Y for almost a year now, equipped with an NCM lithium-ion battery. The range is quite reliable, with an official rating of around 500 kilometers. In my daily city driving, I can easily achieve over 350 kilometers, making it perfect for commuters like me. Charging is convenient too, supporting 120kW fast charging—it takes about half an hour to go from 20% to 80%, saving both time and hassle. On weekend trips, I always plan charging stops in advance to avoid running low on the highway. For maintenance, the 4S shop advises against overnight full charging and recommends using slow charging to extend battery life. Compared to my colleague's Tesla, the Aion's battery management is more considerate, with less range drop in winter. Overall, the battery is stable and durable, giving me a worry-free driving experience—just remember to check plug connections regularly to prevent poor contact.
