The Blade Battery is a really neat approach to add structural support to the pack and it is a few steps away from what I am doing. :)
The new Blade cell dimensions do really help on the mechanical support but it also allows manufacturing methods which are more relaxed. They still do foil coating with it which is slow and hard compared to separator coating. But all that allows faster production and less cost. Excellent development! What is coming after the Blade and other structural packs? It's the foil-less system. Film cells (not so thin) have been overlooked for decades. Design ideas go way back to the Voltaic pile from the 18th century and pick up all kinds of small innovations from the 1970's, 80's and all the way up here to our Lithium era. There is actually no need to have 2 separate current collectors as in the Blade or Tesla pack (Al/Cu foils and the battery case). Only one current collector is needed and it can be the case. Only reason not to do fully open electrode designs have been volatile compounds such as electrolytes. Issues have been also from the electrode point of view the most aggressive element on Earth called H2O. With 12 hour charge and discharge demand for energy storage applications this has opened the path. Not sure yet if this is usable in EV due longer charging time but we'll see. EV buses are very doable due to overnight charging and the possibility to get closer to the raw material cost of LFP cell ($8/kWh). This path also opens up the door to do fully electric containerships. Electrify everything is the thing now. Really looking forward to my first 20.000 TEU EV conversion project. Exciting times! 8) The "future" is here now guys. This is what we've been boasting about for the past 30 years (some of you even longer than that). I'm having a blast. I hope you do too. -Jukka ti 30. maalisk. 2021 klo 7.16 EVDL Administrator via EV ([email protected]) kirjoitti: > On 28 Mar 2021 at 21:03, dave delman via EV wrote: > > > Anything new/significant happening with BYD Blade battery? > > This thread seems to have diverged from the original question. > > Here's some recent information about BYD's battery. > > https://insideevs.com/news/495023/byd-blade-battery-entering-european- > market/ > <https://insideevs.com/news/495023/byd-blade-battery-entering-european-market/> > > https://v.gd/Es1G3i > > David Roden, EVDL moderator & general lackey > > To reach me, don't reply to this message; I won't get it.
