The Han EV utilizes a new proprietary lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery design which BYD dubbed the "Blade Battery" (刀片电池), claiming to take up less space than a conventional LFP battery of the same energy capacity. BYD also emphasized the Blade Battery's safety against thermal runaway even in case of damage, and showed the results of a test in which the battery was pierced with a nail while a raw chicken egg was placed on top of it. The battery's temperature
