Xinneng'an's new generation of safe lithium batteries debuts, ushering in a new era for the mini-car industry

On October 26, 2021, at the 39th Jiangsu International New Energy Electric Vehicles and Parts Trade Fair, the new generation of safe lithium batteries developed by Poweramp New Energy Safety Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as New Energy Safety) made its debut. By focusing on the "Smart Safety" series of safe lithium batteries with triple protection exclusive technology as the core, a high-safety micro-car travel technology solution is built.

At the press conference with the theme of "Evolution and Rebirth, Empowering the Future", Dr. Feng Zhu, Vice President of Testing, Verification and Reliability of Xinneng'an, revealed the technical barriers and innovative designs behind the "Smart Safety" series of safe lithium batteries: it uses a fully independently developed high-stability chemical system to eliminate short circuits within the battery cell; it uses exclusive technology to avoid heat diffusion of the battery cells within the battery pack; the self-developed BMS actively identifies internal short circuits and issues warnings, taking active measures to prevent safety accidents caused by improper use such as overcharging. The triple protection design from battery cells to BMS and then to the battery pack ensures that the battery is safer and more reliable during abnormal use.

As electrification becomes a major trend in the field of mini-cars, the safety of lithium batteries has become the focus of public opinion. From the perspective of the public, safety accidents such as fires and explosions caused by electric mini-car batteries occur from time to time, and more reliable products are needed; from a policy perspective, the number of two-wheeled electric vehicles in my country has exceeded 300 million. In the context of the "dual carbon" goal being written into the government work report for the first time, more cutting-edge and greener new energy technologies are urgently needed to help the mini-car industry upgrade.

"Only through continuous product innovation and research and development, and 360-degree all-round technical prevention and control, can we fundamentally solve the battery safety problem." Dr. Feng Zhu said that he hopes Xinneng'an can lead the transformation of the micro-car lithium battery industry through its own continuous investment in research and development.

Focusing on safety for five months, product upgrade

In May this year, Xinneng'an Technology came into the public eye for the first time and officially announced its entry into the field of lithium battery applications for electric micro vehicles, demonstrating a full range of technologies from battery cells to BMS and battery packs, as well as innovative lithium battery products for micro vehicles.

Among them, the industry's first super-fast charging lithium battery can achieve ultra-fast charging in as fast as 15 minutes , which brings users a brand new user experience compared to the previous industry average charging time of 5-6 hours.

Now, Xinneng'an is rapidly carrying out another round of technological upgrades: with the newly upgraded "Zhi'an" series of safe lithium batteries, it is pushing the development of lithium batteries into the "safety era".

The Xinneng'an R&D team conducted a survey on battery failure and found that overcharging, thermal runaway of battery cells caused by mechanical damage, and electrical short circuits caused by water ingress were the top three causes of battery failure. Therefore, targeted research and development was carried out: by further improving the accuracy of the self-developed BMS system algorithm, optimizing the IP67 waterproof design, and meeting the anti-thermal diffusion performance of automotive-grade safety testing and verification (GB 38031), as well as the anti-mechanical damage performance that is higher than the national recommended standard (GB/T 36972-2018 "Lithium-ion Batteries for Electric Bicycles"), ensuring that the "Zhi'an" series batteries can meet the users' needs for safe battery use in various complex environments such as bumpy road conditions, traffic accidents, wading in rainy seasons, and overcharging.

It is understood that the "Zhi'an" series of safe lithium batteries will be fully used in all types of micro-cars, including shared, battery-swap, new national standard, electric motorcycles, etc., fundamentally leading a new round of technological innovation in the industry and providing more comprehensive safety protection for the electric travel of 300 million Chinese people.

Five years of worry-free construction of a new Great Wall of electric safety

In addition to a series of innovative products, Xinneng'an also had a big news at this exhibition, launching a five-year warranty policy, the first of its kind in the lithium battery industry, to ensure customers have no worries after sales.

Ma Jian, president of the mini-car division, said that the five-year warranty revolution was first proposed in the industry. "On the one hand, it reflects the company's confidence and confidence in the safety and technical support of its own products. More importantly, the company hopes to dispel user concerns and build social trust in this way, helping vehicle manufacturers to make electric mini-cars safer and more reliable 'durable products', thereby promoting the energy iteration of the mini-car industry and the high-quality implementation of the new national standard policy."

As a high-tech enterprise focusing on the field of new energy, Xinneng'an has only been established for less than two years, but its parent company, New Energy Technology Group (hereinafter referred to as ATL), has a deep technical foundation in the lithium battery industry and a R&D team of nearly 4,000 people, all of which provide Xinneng'an with strong technical support and confidence.

In April this year, Xinneng'an Technology announced that it would start business cooperation with Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Ltd. (CATL), a Chinese automotive lithium battery giant , and establish a joint venture dedicated to the development and manufacturing of lithium batteries for industrial purposes such as micro-cars and energy storage . This move will deeply integrate the advantages of both parties and better develop the medium-sized battery market.

"How can we ensure that the nearly 300 million electric bicycle batteries around us are safe and do not explode?" This is a topic of general concern raised by Dr. Feng Zhu in his speech at the press conference. This is also the original intention of the establishment of Xinneng'an: adhering to the mission of driving the world forward with green energy solutions, providing global users with safe, reliable, intelligent, efficient, green and environmentally friendly new energy product applications and services.

Such a vision also inspires Xinneng'an to continuously innovate technology and products. At this exhibition, Xinneng'an, through a series of actions such as technological innovation, quality improvement, industry deepening, brand renewal, etc., drives the construction of a safe and sustainable travel world with multi-faceted green energy solutions, and fully helps achieve the "dual carbon" goal.
