The Shenxing Plus stands out thanks to its impressive energy density of 205 Wh/kg. It includes multiple advanced technologies such as a lithium-iron phosphate anode that utilizes a unique 3D honeycomb-shaped material. This structure optimizes nanometer particle placement through what CATL terms granular gradation technology. Additional innovative elements include a single piece casing and a new type of lithium-ion conductive coating designed specifically for ultra-fast charging.
Developing such rapid charging capabilities posed significant challenges for CATL. The primary difficulty was engineering the battery to handle the immense stress of high-current charging while maintaining safety and longevity. To address this, the battery incorporates expanded overcurrent areas to enhance heat dissipation during charging sessions.
Regarding availability, CATL has not yet revealed when the Shenxing Plus will hit markets or its expected price point. The lack of this detailed information keeps potential buyers and industry analysts on alert as they await further announcements.
