Chapter 257 Rechargeable Batteries

The team that sponsored the local mini 4x4 competition in Hong Kong won the championship, and the battery became famous in the mini 4x4 player community in one leap.

Aika battery, which has just been listed and has not achieved any results, has achieved hundreds of thousands of sales in a few days.

This is also because its sales network coverage is not comprehensive, with the cooperation with the new entrepreneurial department, after the battery sales network covers the world, its sales may be skyrocketing.

"The battery is so strong. One battery can be used as two batteries, and it can also be recharged, and the charging life is still very long......"

"Batteries for the world champion of mini 4x4s!"

"15 yuan is so expensive!"

"However, a battery can be recharged hundreds of times, which is equivalent to at least 100 batteries that cannot be recharged. ”

"It's cheap to think so. ”

At present, an ordinary No. 5 battery, 1 Hong Kong dollar can buy more than 2~3 pieces, general clocks, remote controls and other supplies that do not consume much power, disposable batteries can be used for a few months to a year, it is enough to buy cheap disposable batteries, there is no motivation to buy rechargeable batteries at all.

However, the power consumption of mini 4WD and handheld is relatively high, and some hardcore mini 4WD players even use several large batteries a day, and if you use disposable batteries, the cost is also very expensive. Switching to a rechargeable battery saves a lot of cost.

There are also handheld players, who play every day when they are free, and I am afraid that they will have to change a few batteries a month, and they are naturally potential users of rechargeable batteries.

The main focus of Aika Electronics is not cheap, but the higher capacity of the battery and the longer service life. The users of rechargeable batteries are not mainly concerned about whether the retail price of the battery is cheap, and the key indicators are safety, capacity and life.

These points, Aika Electronics occupies a great advantage, at least, in the ordinary consumer market, it is rare to meet opponents!

……

The rechargeable battery business is currently the latest transformation direction of ACKA Electronics Company, which has gradually transformed from the past OEM business to a component supplier with performance and price advantages.

The prospect of the rechargeable battery business is promising, not to mention, the rechargeable battery market for the mini four-wheel drive car distributed by the new electric toy company has shown a huge market prospect, not to mention, there are more handheld user groups.

Moreover, in the case of battery quality standards, Aika Electronics almost does not have to worry about sales. Because, the new entrepreneurship department listed it as the preferred battery, and sold it with the product.

It is estimated that at least 100 million rechargeable batteries will be purchased every year, and the bulk purchase price is 10 yuan, which is already a huge order of up to 1 billion Hong Kong dollars.

As long as the cost is controlled, just the battery business, earning hundreds of millions of yuan in profits every year, is almost effortless.

At present, the company produces nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries, which have higher energy density and longer recharge times than lead-acid batteries and nickel-cadmium batteries.

Before the popularization of lithium batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries were high-end products in rechargeable batteries. Even the batteries used in various electronic products in the 90s, such as digital cameras and laptops, were dominated by nickel-metal hydride batteries.

However, lithium batteries in the 90s have actually been on the market, but the popularity rate is not high. In the 21st century, lithium batteries have gradually become the king of rechargeable batteries, and even synonymous with rechargeable batteries.

Not because lithium batteries are cheaper, but because of the potential for upgrading the battery capacity of lithium batteries. In the case of limited power improvement of other batteries, lithium batteries can also see the gradual increase in battery capacity, and they can naturally become the king of batteries without encountering bottlenecks.

The new venture electronics company naturally has lithium battery-related research, but the reason why this thing did not begin commercial production until the 90s is because the processing difficulty is higher than that of other batteries, because, in the early stage of lithium battery listing, there are constantly explosions, combustion and other dangerous situations, even if it has been on the market for many years, after the technology is very mature, there is still news of battery combustion from time to time.

Therefore, Aika Electronics has entered the field of rechargeable battery production, starting with the nickel-metal hydride battery, which is still relatively high-end. Relying on this time, there is still huge room for growth, accumulating a certain amount of profits, brand reputation and talent team, and then entering the lithium battery market with a higher technical threshold is the right way.

The advent of lithium batteries is a huge investment for many giants, and tens of billions of dollars of capital investment have finally ushered in commercialization.

After lithium batteries, there are other metal batteries with higher energy density in theory, such as magnesium-ion batteries, which theoretically have a higher energy density than lithium-ion batteries, but many giants have invested heavily in research and development, and it is still very difficult to be commercialized.

In addition to the high level of R&D investment and uncertainty, even the capital threshold required for the production of batteries is expensive.

In later generations, some large factories invested money to expand lithium battery production capacity, and a world-class large-scale battery factory is an investment of tens of billions of dollars at every turn, compared with those expensive semiconductor factories, the required capital threshold is not inferior.

As for the battery market, the current market is only pediatrics, and later laptops, mobile phones, after the demand for the battery industry is rising. Then there were electric vehicles, it is precisely because of the blowout of the electric vehicle market that the battery production capacity is always insufficient, and various metals related to rechargeable batteries, such as lithium and cobalt, have gradually risen to sky-high prices. In the 80s, the price of lithium carbonate did not exceed 1,000 US dollars per ton, and in the 90s, it was only 2,000 US dollars a ton, but by 2017, the price had exceeded 20,000 tons, and the origin of these resources has long been monopolized by many international capitals.

Even though China was the largest producer of batteries, more than 90% of the most basic raw materials needed were imported, far more than oil, iron ore, and semiconductor components. And these resources are basically concentrated in a few countries, much more concentrated than oil resources, and the supply is far more scarce than oil.

Therefore, Lin Qi is more concerned about the research and development of lithium battery technology, and more importantly - resources!

No matter how strong the lithium battery technology is, resources are king!

Even if the technology is a little worse than yours, how bad can it be? Not like CPU chips, the technology generation difference will form an insurmountable performance gap.

Later, the ultimate competitiveness of the battery market is still the resource reserves. Lin Qi is not ready to vigorously develop lithium battery products for the time being, or because the resources have not been obtained!

At least, some high-quality lithium ore can at least meet the raw material supply of its own battery factory, which is the time to develop lithium battery production. Now, with the capital of the new start-up department, there is not enough capital to buy mines around the world without affecting other businesses.

There is no money to buy mines, which is why Lin Qi does not lay out the lithium battery industry now.
