Like other BYD EV models, the BYD Seagull uses the company’s Blade battery made up of lithium iron phosphate (LFP).

BYD’s Blade battery uses LFP chemistry that is theoretically safer, costs less, and have a longer cycle life. Its downside is the lower energy density compared to ternary lithium batteries.

However, the Blade battery design mitigates the disadvantage with its clever form factor, allowing a higher energy density at the pack level.
