China's New Manufacturing Standards Signal Shift in Battery Industry China's new #manufacturingstandards, which took effect today, are set to drive out non-state run battery #manufacturingoperations from the country. This development also offers a glimpse into the rigorous #processcontrols that leading companies like Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited aka CATL, BYD and our partner EVE Energy Co.,Ltd. adhere to. It is imperative for the West to step up its game and strategize on how to compete effectively at this advanced level of #manufacturing. It is our responsibility to meet and exceed the standards set by China to remain relevant in the global manufacturing industry. For Bravo Motor Company Brasil, in the future Colossus Cluster, these standards will be adopted and improved to maintain our leadership in #cuttingedgetechnology.

New standards for battery manufacturing always need to be understood by professionals in the industry

Four factors for considering lithium battery safety and quality - by taking into consideration these factors, you can help ensure the safe and reliable operation of your lithium batteries. 1. Always prioritise safety  * Refer to manufacturer instructions for your appliance and battery.  * Request safety data sheets from your battery retailer.  * Use recommended charging equipment that meets Australian safety standards.  * Never charge or use a lithium battery that has been damaged or mistreated.    2. Ask the right questions  * Independent test certificates are essential.  * Look for and request certification around UN38.3 (safe transport) and IEC standards 62133 and 62619 (battery quality and safety).    3. Look for key safety features  * Temperature Sensors: Monitor battery temperature to prevent overheating and fire.  * Battery Management System (BMS): Protects cells from over/undercharging and offers additional safety functions like shutdowns and system monitoring. * Ensure your battery has a BMS and understand its functionalities.    4. Quality Matters  * Look for features like insulated terminals, proper cell protection, and secure wiring to prevent short circuits and damage.  * New vs. Second-Life Cells: Inquire about the battery's cell composition. New cells are preferable for optimal performance and safety.

Welcome Home, Morrow Development Centre! While constructing the Morrow Cell Factory, we established a Customer Qualification Line (CQL) in South Korea to develop and produce LFP samples. This week, the CQL shipment from Chungju-si arrived in Arendal. What to know about the production line which will now be installed as the "Morrow Development Centre" (MDC) inside the factory: 🔋The CQL operated for 16 months, enabling advanced product development, customer sample qualification, and training for engineers and operators. 🔋Morrow shipped thousands of LFP samples to potential customers, achieving significant performance improvements. 🔋About 20 colleagues will work at the MDC, focusing on process and product optimisation, next-generation battery development, and qualifying cells to customer specifications for commercial production. "The MDC is the cornerstone of our innovation, bridging research, manufacturing, and development. Its arrival in Arendal marks a pivotal moment in our journey towards commercialising and industrialising our technologies", says Marcus Våle, one of the R&D Managers responsible for the MDC. "After years of anticipation, seeing these containers touch Norwegian soil is pretty awesome. This line, which we've started planning in 2021, represents not just equipment but the culmination of our hard work and vision." A special congrats to everyone who's been hands-on every step of the way... You are many, but trust that Ronny Gløckner, José Pedro Mota and Marcus Våle will pass on our "thank you"🙏👏 #mission2morrow #betterbatteries #Rearchanddevelopment #batteries

In the global electric vehicle (EV) and EV component supply chain, fragmentation is evident, with only a few major Chinese players dominating. Currently, there is limited backward integration within this industry, meaning that localizing one component does not necessarily accelerate the localization of another. To address this, analyzing each priority area involves dissecting the entire value chain. Breaking down component such as cell manufacturing into subcomponents (like cathode mix, aluminum foil, and carbon powder) helps identify key bottlenecks for localization. Additionally, mapping the current supplier landscape and assessing localization status at a sub-component level is crucial for pinpointing components that are still being imported.

I visited hundreds of factories until now during the last 2 years at Octavic. I often hear complaints about high energy consumption by the production equipment. Not to mention the surge in energy prices. Producers understand that in order to identify the exact reasons for the energy waste, they would benefit implementing a software solution that monitors consumption in real-time and can also offer historical analysis. Once the waste cause identified, one needs to take action or decisions in order to reduce or eliminate that waste. Here's what most producers do: once they solved a particular problem, they think they don't need the energy monitoring system anymore and send back the energy meters to the supplier. But new different problems appear periodically, the same part breaks down again, operators often forget or ignore turning off the equipment that doesn't work. Therefore, the energy bills don't decrease this way, or at least not for a long time. How is your factory keeping energy consumption under control? P.S. If you want to know how you can reduce energy consumption in your factory for the long-term, you can book a meeting with me on Octavic's page: https://lnkd.in/ejPZYwyb

LG Chem Files Patent Infringement Lawsuit Against Ronbay in South Korea SEOUL, Oct 23 (Reuters) - South Korean battery materials maker LG Chem (051910.KS) has filed a patent infringement lawsuit against a South Korean unit of Chinese battery materials manufacturer Ningbo Ronbay New Energy Technology (688005.SS). In a statement, LG Chem said it determined after testing samples that Ronbay and its unit are importing, producing, and selling products that infringe on LG Chem's patents. The patents in question relate to technologies that enhance the capacity, power, and high-temperature stability of high-nickel cathode materials. Despite repeated attempts to settle the matter through discussions, Ronbay failed to respond, prompting LG Chem to take legal action. As competition in the EV battery market intensifies, LG Chem has decided to actively enforce its patent rights. LG Chem's battery maker affiliate, LG Energy Solution (373220.KS), previously indicated it would consider stepping up efforts to protect its patents amid rising infringements. Ronbay did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Stay tuned for updates on this ongoing legal dispute. #LGChem #Ronbay #PatentInfringement #EVBatteryMarket #LegalAction #SouthKorea #BatteryMaterials #HighNickelCathodeMaterials #TechnologyPatents #Competition #LGEnergySolution

After seeing this video, you will know 1. Why China bans NCM in ESS and electric ships, you will know 2. Why South Korea has more than 400 ESS fire accidents every year, and 2. Why Fremantle Highway caught fire. 18650, NCM, is a product of electronics. When it comes to ESS and electric ship applications, it needs forward development products.
