What type of battery does the Tang DMI use?
3 Answers
The Tang DMI uses Blade Battery, which is a type of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery and currently the safest battery available. Advantages of Blade Battery: The single battery cell + modular-free design reduces the number of components in the DM-hybrid system battery pack by 35%, while the compact and efficient battery layout improves space utilization, thereby enhancing the energy density of the battery pack. Under the same volume, higher energy density results in longer range for the battery pack. Range of the DM-i system: Currently, models equipped with the DM-i system can achieve a maximum range of up to 120km.
As a long-time owner of the BYD Tang DM-i, I've been driving it for nearly three years. Its battery is the self-developed Blade Battery, specifically a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) type. This battery is exceptionally stable and safe, unlike ternary lithium batteries that are prone to spontaneous combustion. Especially when driving in high summer temperatures, it gives me much more peace of mind. On a full charge, it can run over 100 kilometers on pure electric power, and combined with the hybrid system, the total range exceeds 1,000 kilometers—truly fuel-efficient. Charging is also fast: a home slow charge fully replenishes it overnight, while a fast charge can reach 80% in just half an hour, making it extremely convenient. The battery has a long lifespan, guaranteed for eight years or 150,000 kilometers, with minimal performance degradation under normal use. Overall, it’s more cost-effective and eco-friendly than replacing the battery. Regular maintenance should include checking battery health—don’t overlook minor issues.
As an average family driver, I've been driving the Tang DM-i for over a year now. This vehicle uses BYD's Blade Battery, which employs lithium iron phosphate technology. The real-world experience has been excellent – perfect for daily commutes, running quietly in pure electric mode while saving fuel costs. The compact battery design saves space, making the interior more spacious and comfortable for family trips. It performs well across temperatures, starting reliably even in sub-zero winter conditions. Maintenance is simple, with the plug-in hybrid system automatically managing charging and discharging, requiring almost no attention from me. The only thing to watch is charging habits – avoiding excessive discharge can extend battery life. Overall, it's safe, durable, and cost-effective, meeting most family needs perfectly.
