GAC Aion, a Chinese new energy vehicle manufacturer, launched a new battery technology called magazine batteries on March 10, becoming another car company that produces its own batteries after BYD.

The technology, for the first time, achieved the whole pack of ternary lithium batteries to avoid fire during the nail penetration test, and also enables iron phosphate batteries not to smoke or catch fire in the nail penetration test, the company said.

The test results show that the whole pack of GAC Aion's ternary lithium (magazine battery) only showed a brief smoke emission (1 minute) after the thermal accident signal was given for 5 minutes during the test, with no fire or explosion. After the battery rested for 48 hours, the voltage dropped to 0V and the temperature returned to room temperature.
