After 7 minutes and 55 seconds under high load, the Chinese do not believe that they saw either smoke, the battery burning or any kind of explosion in the battery pack. At no time did the surface temperature of the battery pack exceed 40 degrees, Geely claims.
According to Carnewschina's information, Geely has applied for the trademark register for both "Geely bulletproof batteries" and "Aegis bulletproof batteries". All because of the very high level of safety in the battery packs.
Batteries that will debut in the upcoming Geely Galaxy E5 that will be shown to the public in early August. Initially with a range of between 440 and 530 kilometers.
