Dalian CBAT Power Battery, a leading power battery manufacturer, has achieved a major milestone with the roof-sealing ceremony for its new intelligent production line of high-performance 40-series large cylindrical lithium-ion batteries.
The project, with a total investment of Yuan 1 billion, is located in Dalian North Yellow Sea Economic Development Zone, which was signed and implemented in February 2025. It is a high-performance LFP battery capacity expansion project independently developed and designed by CBAT. It is planned to introduce an internationally advanced 120 ppm fully automatic lithium-ion battery production line. The new product will increase the capacity by 5 times, increase the energy density by 15%, and reduce the battery cost by 10% on the basis of the original 26650 product.
This topping out indicates that the project is one step closer to production. The company plans to complete fully automated equipment debugging and achieve mass production by the end of 2025, and the annual production capacity will exceed 3 GWh after reaching capacity.
