4 FAQs about Large cylindrical battery energy storage system

What is a large cylindrical battery?

Large cylindrical batteries feature a steel casing with 550MPa strength—5.5 times that of prismatic aluminum casings (95MPa). Combined with a 1500MPa dual-layer hot-formed steel bottom design and 3500MPa aerospace-grade fiberglass, they achieve crash energy absorption of 1000J—6.6 times the national standard.

Is a large cylindrical battery the 'optimal solution' for new energy vehicles?

Jiang Jibing, vice president of Eve Energy and head of its battery system research institute, introduced the large cylindrical battery as the “optimal solution” for new energy vehicles (NEVs). He detailed the battery's advantages through three key factors: standardization, adaptability, and structural integrity.

What is a cylinder battery?
