China's electric vehicle giant BYD will launch the new generation of the Blade battery for electric cars next year. The new batteries will be used in its future vehicles. These will feature advanced technologies and offer a higher range. BYD introduced the first generation of its Blade battery in 2020. These Lithium-Ion Phosphate (LFP) batteries have played a key role in making BYD one of the leading EB battery makers in the world.

The current generation of BYD's Blade batteries powers its EVs and is also used by other big automakers such as Hyundai, Kia, Ford, Toyota, and Tesla. Made from Lithium-Ion Phosphate chemistry, the Blade batteries are more cost-effective than traditional Lithium-Ion batteries. The lower costs have helped BYD introduce budget EV models in China, propelling its growth.

The BYD Seagull, available with either a 48 kWh or a 57.6 kWh battery pack, offers a maximum range of 405 km. The next generation of BYD Blade batteries will be more compact, safe, and efficient and offer more range.

Cao Shuang, the managing director of BYD Central Asia in the European Auto Sales Division, said in an interview with Chinese state media outlet CGTN, "I think in the coming years, 2025, BYD will introduce the new generation of our remarkable blade battery," He further added "This will enhance the driving distance of our vehicles, and also extend the life cycle of the battery itself,"
