As a professional manufacturer of battery pack assembly machine and battery test equipment, Xiamen WinAck was invited to visit BYD's FODI Battery factory inChongqing, and communicated with Sun Huajun, deputy general manager of FODI Battery, to learn about the production process of blade batteries and its future technical direction.
Located in the city's Bishan District, the factory is currently the only production base for the Blade Battery. It possesses a highly demanding production environment and much of BYD's self-developed Blade Battery production equipment. The factory has a total investment of 10 billion yuan with an annual production capacity of 20GWH.
BYD and FAW have started series production at their new battery factory in Changchun. This will initially have an annual capacity of 15 GWh and is to be expanded to 45 GWh. Blade battery packs will initially be produced there for the Hongqi brand.
The partners had started construction of the new production facility in February 2022 and had originally planned to start series production in September 2023. The joint venture FAW FinDreams New Energy Technology (FinDreams is the BYD brand for third-party business with eMobility components) will manufacture blade batteries in Changchun.
There are generally two manufacturing processes for batteries: winding and stacking processes. The blade battery adopts advanced high-speed stacking process, the length of the stacking pole piece can reach about 1000mm, the stacking alignment tolerance is within ±0.3mm, and the single stacking efficiency is 0.3s/pcs.
In February 2022, the partners started construction of the new production facility, which is designed for an annual capacity of 45 GWh. The joint venture called FAW FinDreams New Energy Technology (FinDreams is BYD's brand for the third-party business with eMobility components) wants to manufacture blade batteries there.
In terms of battery life, BYD blade battery is known as “super life”. The reason is that BYD blade battery is innovatively optimized from multiple technical levels. At the cell level, the blade battery is a lithium iron phosphate battery.

The lithium-ion battery market, valued at $54.4 billion in 2023, is experiencing rapid growth, with projections indicating a surge to $182.5 billion by 2030 and further expansion to $187.1 billion by 2032. This remarkable growth, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.2% to 20.3%, is fueled by several key factors.
Porous zeolite-like materials with a framework structure have strong application potential in the field of flame retardant battery separators, and are important materials for preparing battery separators with excellent flame retardant and electrical properties at the same time.
The battery consists of electrolyte, separator, electrode and shell, the traditional flame retardant method of battery is to modify the components to improve its flame safety.
Flame retardants could improve the safety properties of lithium batteries (LBs) with the sacrifice of electrochemical performance due to parasitic reactions. To concur with this, we designed thermal-response clothes for hexachlorophosphazene (HCP) additives by the microcapsule technique with urea-formaldehyde (UF) resin as the shell.
For battery flame retardant separators, in addition to various silicate minerals, metal oxides are also a good choice.
According to the provisions of safety standard for non-metallic materials in UL 2580 safety standard, the minimum flame retardant grade of the plastics used in battery pack shell materials should be V-1 in UL 94 standards test.
Flame retardant modification of electrolyte for improving battery safety is discussed. The development of flame retardant battery separators for battery performance and safety are investigated. New battery flame retardant technologies and their flame retardant mechanisms are introduced.
In addition to the flame retardant transformation of the battery itself, battery flame retardant can also be achieved by adding protection device outside the battery, such as wrapping a flame retardant shell outside the battery or installing an automatic fire extinguishing device, etc.

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) will have a CAGR of 30 percent, and the GWh required to power these applications in 2030 will be comparable to the GWh needed for all applications today. China could account for 45 percent of total Li-ion demand in 2025 and 40 percent in 2030—most battery-chain segments are already mature in that country.
One way to overcome instability in the power supply is by using a battery energy storage system (BESS). Therefore, this study provides a detailed and critical review of sizing and siting optimization of BESS, their application challenges, and a new perspective on the consequence of degradation from the ambient temperature.
In their models of total demand, The Faraday Institution and BloombergNEF estimate around 5-10GWh demand for grid storage by 2030. These battery demand models are built on assumptions around EV production, the battery energy storage demand per year, and battery capacity forecasts.

Production steps in lithium-ion battery cell manufacturing summarizing electrode manufacturing, cell assembly and cell finishing (formation) based on prismatic cell format. Electrode manufacturing starts with the reception of the materials in a dry room (environment with controlled humidity, temperature, and pressure).
Knowing that material selection plays a critical role in achieving the ultimate performance, battery cell manufacturing is also a key feature to maintain and even improve the performance during upscaled manufacturing. Hence, battery manufacturing technology is evolving in parallel to the market demand.
Challenges in Industrial Battery Cell Manufacturing The basis for reducing scrap and, thus, lowering costs is mastering the process of cell production. The process of electrode production, including mixing, coating and calendering, belongs to the discipline of process engineering.
Developments in different battery chemistries and cell formats play a vital role in the final performance of the batteries found in the market. However, battery manufacturing process steps and their product quality are also important parameters affecting the final products' operational lifetime and durability.
Conventional processing of a lithium-ion battery cell consists of three steps: (1) electrode manufacturing, (2) cell assembly, and (3) cell finishing (formation) [8, 10]. Although there are different cell formats, such as prismatic, cylindrical and pouch cells, manufacturing of these cells is similar but differs in the cell assembly step.
