Looking at this kinda makes me hungry because it reminds me of one of Cadbury’s confectioneries, but it is in fact made by Geely and it is food – just for vehicles instead of humans. The carmaker displayed on its Auto China 2026 stand in Beijing the Shendun Golden Brick Battery for hybrid vehicles. Measuring 220.3 mm long, 28.2 mm wide and 95.5 mm tall, the short-blade battery can charge from 10-100% in 24.9 minutes and from 80-100% in 11.5 minutes. Max charging and discharging rates are 12C (as many as 2.4 km per second) and 21.02C respectively, the cycle life is 4,500 cycles and Geely says the battery has the world’s highest volume utilisation rate – 83.7%. Of course, the carmaker goes to great lengths to tell you how safe it is – it says there are eight major thermal safety protection technologies and that the battery has been subjected to an eight-pin puncture test and a 150 kN compression test. They even fired a 5.56 mm-diameter bullet at it with an automatic rifle. This battery is not to be confused with Lynk & Co’s 900V Energee Golden Brick Battery, which is for EVs and which can reportedly charge from 10-70% in four minutes 22 seconds, 10-80% in five minutes 32 seconds and 10-97% in eight minutes 42 seconds.
