In the factory of Hunan Yideng New Energy Co., Ltd., Cao Zhendong, general manager of the company, is dedicated to scientific research every day.
Cao Zhendong is deeply engaged in the R&D of lithium-ion batteries, constantly making breakthroughs in the field through scientific research.
Early in the morning, Cao Zhendong conducted performance testing on newly developed battery samples in the factory. The “button polymer lithium-ion battery” tested this time is the result of the efforts of Cao and his team in the past two years.
By applying new materials and improving technological processes, this battery has achieved a significant increase in energy density.
Cao Zhendong introduced that this battery not only has high energy density, but also has a single shape with great flexibility. It has excellent assembly adaptability in Bluetooth lithium-ion batteries and is expected to achieve automated production for the entire production line.
At present, this product has gained favor from domestic brand customers and is expected to bring in over 80 million yuan in revenue for the company by 2025.
In 2018, Cao Zhendong was invited to join the company . His primary task was to organize a R&D team. He led the team to solve the company’s early quality and technical problems while conducting in-depth research in the field of Bluetooth batteries.
With unremitting efforts, the fast charging TWS earphone battery was officially put into production within six months. This scarce product gained market favor as soon as it was launched, generating 10 million yuan in revenue for the company that year.
In 2019, over 80% of the company’s products were fast charging lithium-ion batteries.
Given the increasingly high requirements for battery performance in the market, Cao Zhendong conceived the idea of joint R&D with experts and doctors.
In May 2021, Anren Yideng New Energy Research Institute Co., Ltd. was established, which was recognized as a new R&D institution in Hunan province in 2023.
The company invests 6 million yuan in research funds every year. It has attracted over 100 researchers through industry-university-research cooperation, and cultivated over 20 professional talents in lithium battery.
As Cao Zhendong and his team continued to put forth new ideas, the company has quickly entered the fast lane of the Bluetooth lithium-ion battery.
In 2023, it reached the output value of 180 million yuan, and it has been listed in the Specialized and Innovative sector of Hunan Equity Exchange.
In 2024, the company achieved an output value of 200 million yuan, and created over 1,500 job opportunities. It has obtained 12 authorized national invention patents and 38 utility model patents.
It has established strategic partnerships with well-known enterprises like Xiaomi, Cosnic and Boat, with constant stream of orders.
When it comes to the company’s prospects, Cao Zhendong confidently said that the team will continue to focus on lithium-ion battery development, maintain its leading advantage in the technology, strive to significantly increase the company's output value within 3 to 5 years, promote the company’s listing, and contribute to the high-quality development of the company and Anren’s economy.
