GoKawiilBYD's new Blade Battery redesigns graphite anode to speed up fast charging
BYD unveiled a second-generation Blade Battery in March 2026 that restructures graphite particles into an upright orientation, giving lithium ions a shorter, more direct path into the anode. Combined with a modified electrolyte and a 1,500kW Flash Charger, BYD says the battery can go from 10 to 70 percent charge in five minutes and reach 97 percent in nine minutes.
