Blade battery

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Blade battery is a type of LFP battery for use in electric vehicles which is manufactured by FinDreams Battery, a subsidiary of Chinese automaker BYD.[1][2][3]

Safety controversies[]

BYD claims that "EVs equipped with the Blade Battery would be far less susceptible to catching fire – even when they are severely damaged."[1][4]

However, In July 2021, a BYD Han EV with Blade batteries was crash-tested in China (car-to-car crash test) versus Arcfox Alpha-S. At about 48 hours after the test, nothing happened to the Arcfox Alpha-S, only the BYD Han car caught fire and burned to the ground.[5][6] On November 15, 2021, a BYD Tang EV (with Blade batteries[7]) caught fire in a workshop in Kristiansand, Norway.[8]
