<h1>BYD Launches Chess Plus Energy Storage System with Fire-Resistant Casing and AI Risk Prediction for Commercial Applications</h1> BYD Energy Storage has launched Chess Plus, a next-generation commercial and industrial energy storage system in China. The system features a cell-to-system protection framework with 'Thick Blade Battery' cells that have ceramic terminals to eliminate leakage risks. Chess Plus includes a 2-hour fire-resistant battery casing, built-in fire suppression, and AI-driven risk prediction. The system supports over 10,000 cycles and employs dual-mode cooling that reduces power consumption by 20%. Designed for industrial parks, EV charging hubs, and microgrids, Chess Plus optimizes energy use while maximizing ROI. A previous BYD installation in Jiangsu reportedly generates $3 million annually with a 3-year payback period.
