The hometown of lead storage batteries pioneered the "battery revolution"

Changxing County in Zhejiang Province has long been known as the hometown of lead storage batteries. It has “China Green Power Energy Center”, “Zhejiang Battery Professional Brand Base”, “Provincial Hi-tech Industrial Base for Electric Bicycles”, etc. title. The battery industry started in the 1970s and was developed by the leading companies such as Tianneng Group from the original hand workshops. At the peak, more than 170 lead battery companies were formed, occupying about 45% of the domestic market share, whether it is technology or market pricing power. All occupy the "commanding heights" of competition.

With the economic development, the battery industry has undergone tremendous changes. It is an important issue for the industry to get rid of the traditional battery industry with severe low-price competition, and to enter the new battery industry with higher gold content and more environmental protection, and to seize the right to speak in the industry in a new round of economic tide. In the past, a fierce competition to seize economic and technological heights has been quietly launched. Increased investment in technological innovation, efforts to develop emerging industries, foster new economic growth points, and become the top priority among major countries in the global economy.

Changxing County Party Secretary Zhang Genming told the media: “The new battery industry is the pillar industry of Changxing Development. We must urgently resolve the shortage of industrial technology innovation capabilities and the increasingly fierce product price war. We will focus our development on the new battery industry and detonate the battery industry. The 'secondary revolution'."

The subject of Changxing County is also a subject of the entire industry. As a breakthrough in the new round of economic growth and an important way to realize the transformation of transportation energy, the new type of battery has become the strategic choice and technological innovation of economically developed countries and battery manufacturers in the United States, Japan, and so on. China has incorporated the new battery industry into the national key strategic plan, but the future development of the new battery industry is still faced with deep-seated problems such as insufficient basic research capacity for innovation, core technology being controlled by people, unbalanced industrial development, etc., and it is not yet able to lead the technology and industry worldwide. The capacity for development is still far from the country’s requirements for the healthy and sustainable development of the new battery industry. To shorten this distance in a short time and catch up with the technological advantages of developed countries, it is obviously not enough to rely solely on policy guidelines or the strength of one or two companies.

The core engine of detonating emerging industries is based on this, and the new battery industry technology innovation alliance has emerged. Zhang Tianren stressed: "At present, a new round of scientific and technological revolutions and industrial changes centering on new battery technology innovations are gestating in the global context and become an important engine for promoting the development of strategic emerging industries. This requires not only a single enterprise, but also a requirement. The entire industry has invested in the new battery as an important topic to jointly break."

As the leader of the alliance, Tianneng Group has always been adhering to the development strategy of “independent innovation, transformation and upgrading” and has taken a step forward in the emerging battery industry. In the past few years, Tianneng focused on technical breakthroughs in rare-earth silica gel batteries, super batteries, wound-type batteries, and fuel-cell batteries, as well as a number of new high-energy and environmentally friendly batteries and key technologies to promote product upgrading. At the end of October, the super battery was put into trial at the Liyang plant in Jiangsu province. This product broke a number of records. Its charging speed was shortened from 8-10 hours for ordinary batteries to 3 hours, and it was fully charged at the fastest one hour; Mileage has increased from 80-120 kilometers to more than 200 kilometers; more importantly, battery life has been greatly extended, and its cycling charge and discharge durability can be increased from conventional batteries to less than 40,000 cycles and increased to more than 100,000 cycles. , get the industry's high praise and attention.

In the high-end product lithium battery known as the battery industry, Tianneng Lithium-ion battery technology leads the industry and has a series of advantages such as high energy density, superior cycle performance, low self-discharge, long service life, and environmental protection, and is successfully applied to electric power. Automobiles, electric bicycles, wind energy and solar energy storage systems, military equipment and other fields. In the recent 114th Canton Fair, Tianneng kicked off the door of a new market in India with new energy-saving lithium batteries and signed a large list of 20,000 units. At present, Tianneng Lithium battery has been matched with several well-known electric bicycle manufacturers in Europe with its excellent performance. Its market share in Europe has expanded rapidly. The company's annual export volume has tripled over previous years, ranking first in Zhejiang Province. .

After cultivating the battery industry for 27 years, Tianneng knows the necessity and importance of integrating R&D with resources. After all, the power of a single company is limited. In the face of the surging global high-tech economy, Tianneng, as a leading company in the industry, must not only outperform the broader market itself, but also shoulder the heavy responsibility of leading the entire battery industry into a benign and high-speed development track. Zhang Tianren, chairman of Tianneng Group, stated: “The new battery industry in China is still dominated by single innovation. The industrial chain lacks effective linkage and coordination at the strategic level. The common problems and bottlenecks of some industrialization technologies are still difficult to form a joint effort to resolve together. The new battery industry technology innovation alliance will give better play to the overall advantages of industrial technology innovation and accelerate the pace of development of the new battery industry."

Driven by innovation and join hands to promote development. With the platform of this technological innovation alliance, Tianneng not only promotes the economic development of the battery-driven industry, but also promotes the development of the entire industrial chain to the green economy through batteries.
