Shaoxing Textile Machinery Enterprises Are Turning To High-Performance Batteries For Use In American ATV.

"At present, our lithium-ion battery has been applied to the ATV of the United States." Yesterday, Liang Wenming, deputy general manager of Zhejiang Jin Kai Amperex Technology Limited (hereinafter referred to as "Jin Kai"), said that they would actively seek cooperation with electric vehicle companies.

The "lithium ion battery" in Liang man's mouth is known as the lithium iron phosphate battery (hereinafter referred to as lithium ion battery). Compared with the traditional battery, it has 8 advantages, such as long life, good performance, and environmental protection. It has been widely used in buses, electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles and other fields.

　　 nowadays The product of "Jin Kai" is the battery of model 38120. The company has applied for more than 20 patents for the battery and series products, 8 of which are invention patents.

"The market capacity is estimated to reach 100 billion yuan." Liang Wenming said that in 2010, Volkswagen had conducted a market survey. They believe that after 2012, lithium ion batteries, as a new source of power, will become a favorite market.

At that time, Zhejiang Xinchang RI Li Industrial Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "RI Li") just experienced the downward trend of global economy in 2008, and the textile machinery business was getting better again. But the company boss feels that a single industry layout will affect the ability of enterprises to fight against attack. He has decided to find a new direction. At this time, several friends brought him a lithium ion battery project.

In 2012, " RI ri "The boss and Zhang Jing and other partners invested about 40000000 yuan to set up" Jin Kai "and invited Liang Wenming and his team to carry out scientific and technological research on lithium-ion batteries. At that time, Liang Wen's team has been working in the field of lithium ion batteries for many years.

"Lithium ion batteries are divided into large, medium and small models. In the field of lithium ion batteries, Chinese enterprises are leading in technology and sales volume, and Europe, Japan and other countries are good at producing small batteries." Liang Wenming said that the market layout was very clear at that time, and they chose to enter the middle lithium ion battery market.

From the shape, lithium ion batteries are divided into two kinds: square and cylinder, among which the technology of cylindrical battery is more difficult. "When Japan imports batteries, if it is square, it can be imported through relevant tests, but if it is cylindrical, it can be imported directly." Liang Wenming told reporters.

　　 however From these two points, "Jin Kai" still has strong competitors. How can we distance them? "We try to install aluminum alloy shells on batteries." However, the type 38120 battery is 12 centimeters high and the diameter is only 3.8 centimeters. Welding is a difficult problem. To this end, "Jin Kai" spent about 4000000 yuan from Germany to introduce an aluminum shell laser welding machine, welding problems can be solved.

"Compared with other materials, aluminum alloy shell has more advantages in electrical conductivity, heat dissipation and corrosion resistance." Liang Wenming said that they are the first domestic enterprises to make large aluminum alloy cylindrical lithium ion battery shells.

In November 2013, the "Jin Kai" production of lithium ion batteries officially went public, and the market responded well. At present, two countries in the United States and India have introduced this battery. Last year, the company took part in the international battery exhibition held in Germany. A couple in Belgium went specially to understand the situation. They wanted to install the battery on their own solar panels.
