Geely’s Galaxy E5 electric vehicle showcased its advanced battery safety with an extreme compression test. Its “Aegis Gold Brick Battery” withstood the crushing weight of a 36-ton ZTZ-59D medium tank.
The pressure applied was about 1.8 times higher than China’s latest national battery safety standards require. Remarkably, there were no signs of fire, explosion, or thermal runaway in the battery pack or individual cells.
The test simulated a severe external impact scenario by repeatedly running the tank’s tracks over the battery pack. This crushed both individual cells and groups of ten cells.
Despite this intense pressure, the battery maintained its structure without bulging, leaking, or igniting. A professional inspection confirmed the battery’s durability far exceeded the new safety standard requirements.
