Capacity attenuation refers to the gradual loss of a lithium-ion battery's ability to store and deliver energy. Typically, this manifests as a decline in State of Health (SOH) and a reduced runtime for the device or vehicle.
On August 16, CATL launched Shenxing, the world's first 4C superfast charging LFP battery, capable of delivering 400 km of driving range with a 10-minute charge as well as a range of over 700 km on.
Last August, CATL presented the Shenxing battery, an LFP pack capable of adding 400 km of range in 10 minutes. This year, the company has rolled the tech into the Shenxing Plus, which combines four-figure range and even faster charging rates.
Battery giant CATL introduced its new Shenxing Plus battery, which can add 600 kilometers in as little as 10 minutes using 4C charging. While not as sexy as the latest car launches, this new battery is equally newsworthy.
At Auto China in Beijing, CATL has presented its new Shenxing Plus LFP battery designed to give electric cars a range of more than 1,000 kilometres. The battery with durable lithium iron phosphate cells is also said to be very quick to charge.
The Shenxing Plus battery is a 4C battery, meaning it has a charging multiplier of four times. CATL claims that this battery can enable cars to have a range of 1000 km (CLTC). Also aiding the space utilization is CTB 3.0 (cell to body) technology which gives the battery an integrated shell structure, increasing volume efficiency by 7%.
Yes, indeed. The potential ramifications of the Shenxing PLUS battery are really that big. On the one hand, this new technology from CATL is like the difference between a propeller-driven airplane lumbering across the Atlantic at 250 mph and a commercial jetliner that travels more than twice as fast.
According to CATL, the Shenxing Plus offers an energy density of 205 Wh/kg at system level. The company states, “The Shenxing PLUS battery pack has a topological structure optimized on top of module-free CTP 3.0 technology, enhancing the packing efficiency by 7%”.

As an inverter battery falls under the "Plant and Machinery" category, the depreciation rate of inverter batteries is 15% according to Income Tax Act (as calculated under the Written Down Value method).
As an inverter battery falls under the "Plant and Machinery" category, the depreciation rate of inverter batteries is 15% according to Income Tax Act (as calculated under the Written Down Value method). This depreciation rate varies depending on the useful life, type of asset, and depreciation method.
A quantitative depreciation cost model is put forward for lithium batteries. A practical charging/discharging strategy is applied to battery management. The depth of discharge of the battery storage is scheduled more rationally. The proposed strategy improves the cost efficiency of lithium batteries in MGs.
Accordingly, the battery depreciation cost can be divided into two part: the fixed cost and the controllable cost. For the fixed part, the aging process is inevitable, and a battery has a finite calendar life. For example, once a battery is installed, it will be scrapped after certain years even if it has not been put into operation.
Some factors are independent of the dispatch strategy such as the ambient temperature and cumulative usage time. While some are controllable, such as the charging/discharging strategy and the DOD in a cycle. Accordingly, the battery depreciation cost can be divided into two part: the fixed cost and the controllable cost.
For further analysis of the economical impact of LB management method on MG, operational costs of the two methods are compared in Table 6. When considering battery depreciation cost under the proposed method, the average DOD of LB groups is 31.11%, lower than 80% under the traditional method.
Simultaneously, for intangible assets, you can claim deductions against trademarks, franchises, licences and so on. As an inverter battery falls under the "Plant and Machinery" category, the depreciation rate of inverter batteries is 15% according to Income Tax Act (as calculated under the Written Down Value method).
