BYD's blade battery has previously been used in its entire lineup of passenger cars.
BYD is starting to use its signature blade battery in its energy storage systems, marking another major use of the battery technology in the company's business after passenger cars.
BYD launched its first energy storage system based on blade batteries, the BYD MC Cube, at a solar-related trade show today, according to a live video replay.
The energy storage system is equipped with blade battery cells that have passed pinprick tests and adopts a technology called CTS (cell to system).
These blade batteries use a module-less, pack-less design and are integrated directly into the system, reducing the number of components by about 36 percent, the company said.
This approach improves space utilization by about 98 percent, allowing for a structural strength improvement of about 30 percent.
The blade battery is developed by BYD based on lithium iron phosphate chemistry and has been used in its full line of passenger cars.
It is worth noting that BYD's previously announced 2022 annual report provides more details about this energy storage system.
BYD MC Cube is a new generation energy storage system with ultra-high capacity density, ultra-safety, ultra-long life and ultra-low cost built by BYD to gain the No. 1 share of the global energy storage market, according to the report.
BYD had already been developing four models of that energy storage system in February 2022, and they would all begin mass production in March 2023, the report said.
When assembled into 20-foot containers, the energy storage system can have a capacity of 5.36 MWh per unit.
BYD's MC Cube highlights the technical capabilities of BYD's energy storage system innovation, which is expected to accelerate the world's energy revolution process, the annual report said.
BYD's installed power and energy storage battery capacity in April was about 9.954 GWh, up 59.47 percent from 6.242 GWh in the same month last year and up 0.64 percent from 8.952 GWh in March, according to data it announced on May 2.

比亞迪的刀片電池此前已用於其整個乘用車陣容。
比亞迪開始在其儲能系統中使用其標誌性的刀片電池，這是繼乘用車之後電池技術在公司業務中的又一次重大應用。
根據現場視頻重播，比亞迪今天在與太陽能相關的貿易展上推出了其首款基於刀片電池的儲能系統比亞迪MC Cube。
儲能系統配備了通過針刺測試的刀片電池單元，並採用了一種稱爲CTS（電池到系統）的技術。
該公司表示，這些刀片電池採用無模塊、無包裝的設計，直接集成到系統中，將組件數量減少了約36％。
這種方法將空間利用率提高了大約 98%，從而使結構強度提高了大約 30%。
刀片電池由比亞迪基於磷酸鐵鋰化學開發，已用於其全系列乘用車。
值得注意的是，比亞迪此前公佈的2022年年度報告提供了有關該儲能系統的更多細節。
報告稱，比亞迪MC Cube是比亞迪製造的新一代儲能系統，具有超高容量密度、超安全、超長壽命和超低成本，旨在獲得全球儲能市場的第一份額。
報告稱，比亞迪已經在2022年2月開發了該儲能系統的四種型號，它們都將在2023年3月開始量產。
組裝成20英尺的容器後，儲能系統每單位的容量爲5.36 mWh。
年度報告稱，比亞迪的MC Cube強調了比亞迪儲能系統創新的技術能力，預計這將加速世界能源革命進程。
根據比亞迪在5月2日公佈的數據，比亞迪4月份的裝機功率和儲能電池容量約爲9.954 GWh，較去年同月的6.242 GWh增長了59.47％，較3月的8.952 GWh增長了0.64％。
