GAC introduces Magazine Battery 2.0 technology in Spain

GAC has launched its second-generation Magazine Battery 2.0 technology, designed to enhance the safety and thermal resistance of electric vehicles. The battery architecture utilizes a compartmentalized structure, similar to military ammunition magazines, to isolate thermal modules and prevent thermal runaway in the event of a short circuit.

The system employs lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cells with flame-retardant electrolytes and a protective casing capable of withstanding temperatures up to 2,000°C. To manage heat, the technology incorporates a dual-layer liquid cooling system that improves heat dissipation efficiency by up to 80%, managed in real-time by AI algorithms.

In extreme testing, including nail penetration and ballistic impact trials, the battery has reportedly shown no signs of fire or explosion. GAC reports that over 1.3 million vehicles equipped with the Magazine Battery family have traveled more than 50 billion kilometers globally without a single reported case of spontaneous combustion. This technology is currently available in the GAC AION UT and AION V models in the Spanish market.
