The LFP battery is designed to offer maximum safety, stable range, and an exceptional lifespan exceeding 5,000 charge cycles. It is considered one of the safest batteries in the world and is the heart of BYD's electric and hybrid vehicles.
The safe heart of BYD electric and hybrid vehicles
The Blade Battery is a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery developed by BYD through 29 years of innovation. It is stable, safe, and designed to deliver consistent performance in both fully electric models and plug-in hybrids with DM-i technology.
Recognised as one of the world's safest batteries for electric and hybrid vehicles.
Blade Battery's LFP technology offers significant advantages over traditional NCM (Nickel-Cobalt-Manganese) batteries:
| Characteristic | BYD Blade Battery (LFP) | Traditional Batteries (NCM) |
|---|---|---|
| Safety | ✓ Passes nail penetration test without smoke or flames | ✗ Fire risk in extreme conditions |
| Cycle duration | ✓ Over 5,000 charging cycles | ~1,000-2,000 cycles |
| Thermal stability | ✓ Surface temperature 30-60°C in extreme cases | ✗ Possible thermal runaway above 200°C |
| Oxygen emissions | ✓ No emissions (lower fire risk) | ✗ Release of oxygen in case of overheating |
| Environmental impact | ✓ More sustainable materials (iron and phosphate) | Cobalt and nickel (limited resources) |
| Space efficiency | ✓ Plus 50% compared to traditional parcels | Standard |
| Degradation | ✓ Very slow over time | Faster after 3-5 years |
Conclusion: BYD’s Blade Battery represents a quantum leap in electric vehicle battery technology, offering superior safety, greater longevity, and better performance over time than traditional solutions.

This test is one of the most stringent in the battery industry. It simulates what could happen in a serious accident, when metal objects could penetrate the battery's structure.
The Blade Battery passed the test with exceptional results and maximum reliability:
Designed to last, engineered to protect you
Blade Battery's LFP technology offers high safety: the stable chemistry does not release oxygen, produces little heat and the long shape of the cells ensures uniform cooling.
Even in the event of impacts or overheating, heat is dissipated and the battery does not reach critical temperatures, reducing the risk of fire.
BYD's Blade Battery uses long, flat blade-shaped cells nested in a honeycomb structure without intermediate modules, resulting in a compact, high-density battery pack.
In Cell-to-Body versions, the battery becomes part of the frame, optimising internal space and lowering the centre of gravity, for greater stability and safety of the vehicle.
The internal blade design increases strength and weight distribution, reducing deformation in the event of an impact.
It is a battery designed by BYD engineers to offer greater protection, safety and reliability over time, integrating into the vehicle structure and helping to provide greater stability, efficiency and daily driving comfort.
The LFP chemistry guarantees over 5,000 charge cycles while maintaining high performance. Thanks to superior thermal stability and reduced degradation over time, the Blade Battery retains its capacity much longer than traditional NMC batteries.
