The 120Ah ultra-fast-charging cell mass-produced this time was jointly defined, co-developed, and manufactured by Dongfeng Motor and Sunwoda. By deeply integrating Sunwoda’s nearly 30 years of lithium battery technology expertise with Dongfeng Motor’s strengths in full-vehicle, all-scenario applications, the product has successfully overcome key industry technical bottlenecks such as thermal runaway prevention and control under high-rate charge/discharge conditions and capacity degradation over long cycle life.

This battery cell features 4C ultra-fast charging capability, requiring only 15 minutes to recharge from 10% to 80%. Its design life exceeds 1,000,000 kilometers, the production line automation rate is over 90%, and it is equipped with an AI-enabled intelligent quality management system, fully meeting new energy vehicles' core requirements for efficient energy replenishment, high safety and reliability, and long cycle life.

At present, this battery cell has successfully secured project nominations from Dongfeng’s eπ, Yijing, and Fengxing brands, and is actively advancing business cooperation with Dongfeng’s joint venture businesses, including Shenlong Automobile, Dongfeng Nissan, and Dongfeng Honda.
