Everyone compares speed, parameters, and price, and the development cycle is getting shorter and shorter. He said that power batteries have extremely high precision and extremely low fault tolerance.

During the design stage, every process and parameter must be strictly controlled to identify abnormalities in advance and have zero tolerance for quality problems.
