BAK Chief Engineer MAO Huan-Yu: Power battery design can not be a tightrope

Industrial design is sometimes invisible to the user, but in fact the design of stealth may be more important,Laptop Battery these and related exterior products designed to make access to security, functionality and cost advantages.


The world's largest manufacturers of lithium-ion battery, one of China BAK Battery Inc. chief engineer of MAO Huan-yu, it is reasonably designed to allow BAK Battery across from the production of mobile phone batteries to laptop batteries threshold. BAK Battery Li-ion laptop batteries fully automated production line in 2006 with mass production, which is China's first notebook battery production lines. Previously, in addition to Samsung, LG occupies a small share of the two Korean companies, the notebook battery market was almost Japanese Sony, Sanyo, Matsushita three Japanese companies a monopoly.


In January of this year, BAK Battery electric vehicle battery power projects have been included in the national 863 electric cars special. BAK Tianjin is currently sony NP-F10 battery under planning and construction of a "motive power industrial park", targeted to be completed within this year, an annual output of 30 million lithium-ion battery production line to form a sales volume of about 500 million U.S. dollars. By then, the industrial park as the country's largest and most advanced technological level of the lithium-ion battery production base to meet power tools, electric vehicle battery market demand for development.


58-year-old Canadian of Chinese MAO Huan-yu, 1990, Memorial University of Newfoundland in Canada electrochemical doctorate in 1996 employed in the Chinese electronics [0.73 0.00%] Part 18 leading high-energy lithium-ion batteries developed in 1999 by the State Council confers on foreign experts in China highest honor award "Friendship Award" by The People's Republic of China in 2001 International Scientific and Technological Cooperation Award in 2004, joined BAK Battery.


"Business Week": BAK notebook battery production scale has grown from 2 million per month increase to 8 million, successfully cut into the global notebook battery market. In recent years, the battery explosion took place so that the outside world for the safety of lithium batteries has been sony NP-FE1 battery questioned, how you design the product at the same time ensure the safety and competitiveness?


MAO Huan-yu: The safety of lithium batteries is a very complex issue. From the raw materials involved in research and development, selection, to the battery design and production process, and so all the links.


Optimal design of these batteries is very important. Simply put, performance and consistency of less demanding battery of good quality control, it's like walking on a flat road is not easy to wrestling. However, if the battery pack to improve the consistency, improve performance, design manufacturing sector as demand balance beam walk, and to be very very careful. If all aspects of the battery indicators are promoted to the limit, then your design is tantamount to asking a tightrope manufacturing sector, could fall at any time to go, but also to the production process pressure is also very large, we have an annual output of several tens of millions of batteries to ensure the quality of each piece of the battery no problem, it is a very big challenge. This requires us to find the performance by optimizing the design and quality balance.


"Business Week": the battery in the notebook industry chain to withstand a lot of pressure, thin and light machine manufacturers, mobile technology requires sony DSC-T7 battery the sustained pursuit of battery design with high-wire act.


MAO Huan-yu: Indeed, the thin and light notebook PCs, mobile-based battery design and manufacture of higher and higher demands, enabling the design parameters have to push the limits, which require us to continuously optimize the design, continuous improvement, generation product generation, product enhancements, in the process of gradual accumulation of experience.


"Business Week": Three years ago, BAK coincided with Sony laptop battery production companies in the industry experience "battery door," was designed to have a kind of special consideration?


MAO Huan-yu: laptop battery explosions are generally caused by overheating due to internal short-circuit or overcharge caused by a result of this return to their roots in the battery development and design, there is no better protection of the design. We each have adopted a triple laptop battery protection, namely over-current protection, over-voltage protection, internal pressure is too large to protect, that laptop battery current, voltage, the internal pressure of any kind of extraordinary circumstances, Casio Digital Camera Battery the laptop battery will be automatic protection, would not have exploded and other undesirable phenomena. Before the commissioning of BAK specially set up a safety committee for each link in the chain to design review, after repeated experiments testing a variety of security until the safe, reliable, automated production line was carried out into manufacturing.


Manufacturing is also very important in 2006, the battery explosion problem lies in the production chain. In fact, after Japan, Korea and other major battery manufacturer in the production of the early days, there have been product safety issues, but at present we have produced tens of millions of batteries, since there has not been first introduced the same kinds of accidents. An argument with our clients, this is a miracle.


"Business Week": how did you do it?


MAO Huan-Yu: From mobile phones to laptop battery production, the cross key is to ensure the consistency of the battery. Previously the majority of our business has been producing lithium battery cell phone batteries, while the mobile phone battery is a single use, lower the requirements for consistency, so the production of mobile phone batteries, Chinese enterprises by hand instead of expensive equipment to obtain a cost advantage.


But the laptop battery is not the same. With the different mobile phone battery, laptop battery usually 6 or 8 batteries series-parallel use of the nikon CR-V3 battery consistency requirements are higher, if there was a bad performance, then performance of the entire battery pack down. Certainly not with the manual production to ensure consistency, so we can see that apart from BAK Battery addition, there are no other businesses truly realize the amount of laptop battery production, to be the world's largest PC company recognition into their supply chain.


"Business Week": BAK announced earlier this year into the electric vehicle battery power industry, the difficulty of this crossing is greater than the last time from the cell phone batteries to laptop batteries, right?


MAO Huan-Yu: Of course, a laptop battery is usually six or eight a combination of batteries and power cells are hundreds or even thousands of blocks of series-parallel block the use of higher demands for consistency.


Simply put, this cross is a good design coupled with a good production. Even if the world's best design, manufacturing processes do not increase, no matter how good design can achieve, both of which are very important. We make a first-rate Chinese enterprises to truly satisfy the use of electric casio CRV3 battery vehicle batteries, one should technology do the second is to create well, are indispensable.


The question now is, notebook battery, when we enter this industry already have a standard product design, followed by Sony's basic model can be done, and the focus is to improve performance. But the electric car battery now the shape of the product do not know what is round the square, or a long flat, do not know. Before the laptop battery, we need to improve the manufacturing level, you can buy Japanese equipment, but the electric car is a new industry, and now we have to have a company pick the first designs to come up with such a standard, everyone recognized.
