On the evening of May 12th, Pulit (002324) announced that its holding subsidiary, Haisida, has recently signed a purchase and sales framework contract with Shanghai Pingye for sodium battery products with a total volume of no less than 1.5GWh. The contract will be delivered in batches from May 2024 to December 2026, and the products will ultimately be mainly used in electric forklifts, low-speed vehicles, functional vehicles, and other fields. The two sides will use their respective advantages to closely cooperate and jointly explore the global special vehicle market.
It is reported that with the rapid development of the new energy industry, the research and industrialization of new batteries is an important development path. Sodium ion batteries, due to their abundant resources, high safety, good low-temperature performance, and obvious cost advantages, will take the lead in replacing lead-acid batteries in the market share, achieving lead-free low-speed electric vehicles and energy storage fields. They are expected to become an important supplement to the lithium battery system in cost sensitive and safety demanding situations such as household energy storage and industrial and commercial energy storage, and have broad market space.
According to the data, Bridget’s subsidiary Haisida is an excellent domestic new energy battery manufacturing enterprise, focusing on the research and production of new energy lithium-ion batteries, sodium ion batteries, and other new battery products, with large-scale and high-quality battery cell production and manufacturing capabilities. In order to further enhance the scale application of sodium ion batteries in the field of new energy, Haisida has long focused on developing and promoting the diversified development of sodium ion battery products, and has established comprehensive strategic cooperation with multiple upstream material suppliers and downstream customers of core sodium ion batteries in the industry. All parties work together to build a comprehensive supply chain system for sodium ion battery products and promote the comprehensive application of sodium ion battery products.
Pulit stated that the purchase and sales framework contract signed between Haisida and Shanghai Pingye signifies that the company’s sodium ion batteries have entered a stage of mass production and sales, and the sodium ion battery industry will gradually enter the era of large-scale application. At the same time, it also has important significance for the company’s position in the sodium ion battery industry and core competitiveness in the field of new energy batteries, laying a profound foundation for the larger scale commercial application of the company’s sodium ion products, and bringing a more positive impact on the scale application of the company’s sodium ion batteries in other scenarios such as energy storage, base station power supply, two wheeled vehicles, and new energy vehicles.
In terms of technology, Pulit has successfully developed cylindrical sodium electric products with a capacity of 1.3Ah-2.0AH and square sodium electric products with a capacity of 75Ah-100AH, which can be applied in portable energy storage, communication energy storage, electric forklifts, golf carts and other fields. Haisida has been selected as one of the first batch of sodium ion battery evaluation units in China, one of the top ten innovative enterprises in sodium ion batteries, and a high-quality enterprise in the sodium electricity industry chain. In the same year, participated in the drafting of the group standard “T/CIAPS0031-2023 General Specification for Sodium Ion Batteries”. The company’s new square sodium electric products have passed UL1973 and Theil certifications. As a pioneer in the industrialization of domestic sodium ion batteries, Haisida Power will drive the rapid development of the sodium ion battery industry. With the improvement of the upstream supply chain system and the overall production capacity, the prices of the main raw materials for sodium ion batteries will further decrease, and the profitability of sodium ion battery products will gradually be reflected.
With the continuous upgrading of technology, the energy density and cycle times of Pritt sodium ion batteries have gradually approached those of lithium-ion batteries, while their safety, rate, and low-temperature performance are superior to lithium-ion batteries. In terms of cycling performance, sodium ion batteries with layered oxide as the positive electrode have a capacity retention rate of ≥ 70% after 3000 cycles; A battery cell with polyanion as the positive electrode, with a capacity retention rate of ≥ 70% after 6000 cycles; It is at the leading level in China and has been certified and recognized by international first-class customers such as TTI and Baide.
In terms of production capacity, Pritt currently has a new energy battery production capacity of 5.3GWh and is under construction with a capacity of 10GWh (compatible with the production of sodium/lithium-ion batteries). The newly added capacity has good flexible production capacity. The later expansion plan will be further planned based on market and industry development.
On the customer side, the research and development and market promotion of Pritt sodium ion batteries have progressed very smoothly, and have successively cooperated with Zhongke Haina, Daqin New Energy, Pingye Environmental Protection Exicom、 Minglei Lithium Energy, Zhuoyue Electric Vehicle, Warner New Energy, Tianchen Energy, Guangpu Co., Ltd., Japan Komatsu and other enterprises have reached a cooperation consensus to jointly promote the commercial application of sodium ion batteries.
