Title: CATL beats Tesla Megapack to a massive 6.25 MWh storage with first zero-degradation guarantee and 20-year warranty
Post by: Redaktion on April 11, 2024, 22:22:12
The world's highest capacity energy storage system by the biggest battery maker CATL beats Tesla's Megapacks by a large margin. It also offers longer capacity retention warranty.

This is absolutely incredible if true. CATL also announced 15 year battery warranties and over 1mil km ratings.
CATL had a battery breakthrough or soemthing.

It isn't really a breakthrough, a majority of batteries in general way outperform their warranties. Just many are being cautious before data was out. Not to mention many chemistries have much longer battery lifespan but due to lack of energy density or higher cost or other factor seen little market. But with incremental improvements they become more viable

Otherwise, take lithium ion chemistry LTO. It can easily last 50+ years and be fully recharged in 5-10 minutes. But it is less energy dense than other chemistries and more expensive, thus not used much

The USA has shown China that it is an untrustworthy competitor by restricting exports to China.
It would be wise of China to arbitrarily decide that the  Lipo battery cells export is of national importance. Then restrict the export of those battery cells to the USA and or to American countries manufacturing in China.
