Chapter 193
As it turned out, not a single bar of battery had been drained.
However, he did not know that the battery pack he had installed was a 60V, 144Ah unit.
With his electric scooter, he could easily travel 700 kilometers at top speed.
Consequently, Zhang Le discovered that his electric scooter seemed impossible to drain.
It wasn't until the fourth day that his battery reached its final bar.
By then, his mileage had already reached 695 kilometers.
The most magical part was that he only plugged it into a household outlet for about an hour,
and the charging was finished.
If it were a standard battery, it would be impossible to fully charge it without eight or nine hours overnight.
As a result, he shared this experience in the food delivery group chat.
Instantly, it ignited the food delivery industry.
Many riders began searching the entire city for the Superba 18650 lithium battery pack.
Unfortunately, because production was extremely limited,
the first batch of 100,000 Superba 18650 lithium batteries that entered the market
vanished without even creating a ripple.
Just as that boss had told the delivery rider Zhang Le,
"If you don't take it, you will definitely regret it."
The result was exactly as he had said; many people regretted it.
Especially in the food delivery industry, making money is all about speed.
Whoever is faster at delivering food can take more orders.
Watching others deliver orders and make money at lightning speed while one's own scooter needs to charge—
how frustrating that must be.
Regrettably, the Superba 18650 lithium battery pack could not be found anywhere, no matter how many places they searched.
Many battery assembly companies, seeing this, claimed that they were using Superba 18650 lithium batteries.
But their actual performance was far inferior to the genuine product.
Once dismantled, it was clear that the components inside were from other manufacturers and had nothing to do with Fengyi Tech.
Those who had purchased them could only cry out that they had been scammed.
Based on the popularity of this event, people on the internet began to review the Superba 18650 battery.
Wang Xiaofeng, a professional reviewer at the ZOL Review Lab.
When he saw the craze for the Superba 18650 battery in reality, he prepared to make a test video to post on the platform.
It took a great deal of effort for him to pay several times the price to get his hands on a battery pack.
"Before dismantling this lithium battery pack, I want to state in advance that I won't talk about how popular this battery is on the market right now.
To obtain this battery, my team put in a lot of effort, and I want to express my gratitude to them here.
Furthermore, I reiterate that we are a non-profit testing team, and our goal is to allow consumers to choose better products on the market.
Therefore, I have not taken any advertising fees from Fengyi Tech, nor have I taken any fees from other companies... Our tenet is fairness and impartiality.
Alright, enough talk, let's dismantle this battery now..."
Immediately, the reviewer Wang Xiaofeng picked up his tools and dismantled the battery.
The blue battery pack inside was revealed.
"This battery uses the newly released Superba 18650 cell from Fengyi Tech. The official voltage of this battery is 5V, which is significantly higher than the 3.7V of lithium batteries on the market.
And this battery pack is a 60V, 144Ah unit.
From the dismantling, we can see that eight 18650 cells are connected in parallel to form a group, and this group has a voltage of 5V and 144Ah.
Then, twelve groups were connected in series to reach the 60V, 144Ah battery pack, totaling 96 cells!"
Having said this, Wang Xiaofeng spoke to the camera:
"If we go by Fengyi Tech's official price of 20 yuan per 4000mAh cell, the cost of this battery pack is 1920 yuan.
Considering the labor at the assembly factory and some material costs, the actual cost should not exceed 2500 yuan.
The rest is the dealer's profit."
Having said this, he paused and continued:
"I have previously tested the Superba mobile phone batteries that Fengyi Tech used in Huawei and other phones.
Their performance is indeed the best among mobile phone batteries. I want to say one thing to Apple: if you don't open your eyes,
you will gradually lose the Dragon Nation market. Arrogance is one of the original sins.
Alright, back to the topic. What is the difference between Fengyi Tech's battery and other batteries? Let's do an experiment, and it will be clear at a glance."
As he spoke, he took an imported Panasonic 18650 battery.
From the outside, there was no difference between the Superba and Panasonic products; both had the same blue packaging.
At most, the markings on the batteries were different.
However, when this reviewer took an awl and poked the Panasonic battery,
instantly, the Panasonic battery began to spark, and then with a 'Bang!', it exploded.
But when he used the same method on the Superba 18650, the battery only emitted black smoke, with no sign of burning or exploding.
"Because lithium is extremely active, it reacts violently even when it encounters water.
As the awl destroys the internal separator of the battery, the positive and negative electrodes short-circuit, causing a violent explosion.
This is the safety issue with ternary lithium batteries. However, Fengyi Tech's separator has a layer of solid-state electrolyte.
Once this solid-state electrolyte touches high temperatures, it melts, forming a flame retardant that covers the short-circuited area,
preventing the battery from further burning or exploding..."
Next, he tested the charging/discharging and capacity.
The Superba battery far exceeded the Panasonic product.
The two were not even in the same league.
Whether in terms of safety, charging/discharging, or capacity, Superba was far ahead.
As the video was uploaded, Wang Xiaofeng from the ZOL Review Lab naturally became a hit.
At the same time, it drove the Superba battery to become even more popular.
It could be said that for a time, it reached the point where it was hard to find a single cell.
On Taobao and Jingdong, electronic product shops bearing the Superba battery logo sprang up like mushrooms after rain.
It was as if if you didn't put this logo on, others wouldn't buy your goods.
