It is noticed that the first standard battery adopts advanced “fast ion ring graphite” and “ultra-high conductive electrolyte” material technology, with more than 6,800 quality control points embedded throughout the life cycle, and more than 10,000 data traceability items, ensuring reliable quality. The performance can reach the DPPB (single defect rate of one part per billion) level, and will be integrated with 4C fast charging, which can go from 20% to 80% in just 10 minutes.
The automation rate of Times Changan’s factory has reached over 95%, and one battery can be produced in 1 second during the entire cycle from material input to finished product output. Changan Automobile previously stated on the interactive platform that Times Changan is mainly engaged in the production and manufacturing of power cells, with an annual production capacity of 25 Gwh and can be put into production within the year.
It is worth mentioning that Changan Automobile released its self-developed battery brand “Golden Bell” at the 2023 Guangzhou Auto Show and launched the research and development of new batteries. It is expected that the energy density will exceed 1300-1500Wh/kg and will be mass-produced in 2035.
