> The space utilization of the battery pack is increased by over 50% compared to most conventional lithium iron phosphate block batteries. > BYD claims that, in the nail penetration test, the Blade Battery emitted no smoke or fire after being penetrated, and its surface temperature reached only 30 to 60 °C (86 to 140 °F). It is currently the only power battery in the world that can safely pass the test. > In addition, it successfully passed an extreme safety test that saw it being rolled over by a 46-tonne heavy-duty truck[citation needed]. > The Blade Battery also passed other extreme test conditions, such as being crushed, bent, being heated in a furnace to 300 °C (572 °F) and overcharged by 260%. None of these resulted in a fire or explosion. None of that sounds like big leaps of progress to you? More on-topic, I wonder if the battery is fully functional with that 260% overcharge. Could be interesting if you can tell the battery (controller) “yes I accept the 1% point extra wear, please enable overcharge mode” for a really long trip that won’t have charging stations.
