As demand for lithium batteries continues to surge worldwide, traditional formation and grading processes have become a bottleneck—plagued by high energy usage, limited precision, and costly maintenance. LEAD’s new system offers a comprehensive answer to these challenges, helping manufacturers increase efficiency and competitiveness through smart, sustainable innovation.

Three Key Innovations in Water-Integrated Thermal System Design

LEAD’s latest-generation solution delivers three major advancements in formation and grading performance:

• Precision Temperature Control for Energy Savings: As the first solution to use hot water as an energy source alongside a high-precision temperature control system, LEAD’s technology maintains the battery cavity at a stable 25±1.5°C. This increases temperature control accuracy by 50%, reduces high-temperature zone volume by 60%, and significantly lowers total plant energy consumption.
• Integrated Design for Greater Efficiency: By replacing traditional split system layouts with a unified structure, the new system reduces charging energy consumption by 6% and plant footprint by 20%. Pre-assembled delivery further increases installation and commissioning efficiency by 30%, enabling faster production ramp-up.
• Maintenance-Friendly Engineering: A no-high-temperature-room configuration reduces power wiring by 30%, allowing personnel to conduct maintenance work in normal ambient conditions, enhancing both safety and comfort.

Innovation in Cleanroom Operations: Negative Pressure Workstation

The solution also introduces an advanced negative pressure workstation that dramatically improves cleanliness, automation, and operating costs:

• Cleanroom Space Optimization: Negative pressure components combined with tray-following technology maintain electrolyte injection port cleanliness throughout the process. This reduces the required cleanroom area by 90%, saving millions in annual facility costs.
• Smart Maintenance Features: The industry’s first ground-level maintenance design, along with automated disassembly, leak detection, and blockage diagnostics, improves replacement efficiency by 80% and advances automation across the production line.
• Improved Product Quality: Seamless sealing and real-time electrolyte exhaust handling support better SEI film formation, leading to improved charge-discharge cycle life and battery reliability.

LEAD’s intelligent formation and grading solution delivers measurable results, achieving charging efficiencies above 88% and discharge efficiencies exceeding 85%. A single production line can generate tens of millions in plant construction savings and significantly reduce annual operating expenses, supporting faster return on investment and long-term cost control.

These outcomes reflect LEAD’s commitment to full-chain optimization through the deep integration of equipment design, process engineering, and plant layout. By establishing a unified “space–energy–labor” cost-control system, LEAD enables manufacturers to fully realize the value of intelligent manufacturing—enhancing both operational performance and strategic competitiveness.
