Zhongpai Battery Enters the Light-Duty Power Market with Sodium Iron Sulfate Breakthrough
[Technical Breakthrough] Zhongpai Battery, under Zhongna Energy, has officially entered the light-duty power market, leveraging its sodium iron sulfate (NFS) technology to fill the product gap between lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries.
Core Development: NFS Batteries Offer High Safety, Low-Temperature Tolerance, Long Lifespan, and Cost Efficiency
Zhongpai Battery, based on the sodium iron sulfate (NFS) system, effectively addresses key pain points: the heavy pollution and short lifespan of lead-acid batteries, and the low-temperature failure and high cost of lithium-ion batteries. It targets full-scenario applications in two-wheelers and three-wheelers.
Key Metrics: Cell Cost Reduced to RMB 0.45/Wh, Capacity Utilization Exceeds 90%
Supported by a 10,000-ton-scale cathode material facility scheduled to commence production in January 2026, NFS cell costs have dropped to RMB 0.45/Wh—over 50% lower than lithium iron phosphate—and capacity utilization has surpassed 90%, signaling the onset of economies of scale.
Strategic Foundation: End-to-End In-House R&D Enables Rapid Commercialization
Zhongna Energy has mastered core processes such as low-temperature sintering and all-solid pre-mixing, achieving full-chain integration from materials to PACK assembly. The company is also advancing the resource recovery of industrial waste salts, further enhancing consistency and cost competitiveness.
