What Sichuan Changhong Battery does

Sichuan Changhong Battery Co., Ltd. (State-owned No.756 National Factory) is a Chinese battery and power supply system manufacturer founded in 1970 and headquartered in Mianyang, Sichuan Province. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the state-owned Changhong Group, operates from a 200-acre factory with 1,300+ employees including 300+ senior engineers, and holds 99 patents (19 invention patents). The company has a multi-chemistry battery portfolio spanning nickel-cadmium (pocket and sintered), nickel-iron, lithium-ion (LiFePO4, NCM, lithium cobalt), silver-zinc, liquid-flow, and fuel cell systems, alongside modular power supply units, intelligent high/low voltage distribution units, and a three-tier energy storage line covering household, commercial and industrial, and grid-scale applications.

The company's revenue model is hardware sales delivered via direct B2B enterprise field sales across dedicated divisions (domestic, overseas, modular power, and energy storage). It is a designated battery supplier on flagship Chinese aviation and rail programs including the C919, ARJ21, AG600, Xinzhou 60, 600km high-speed maglev, Fuxing D-Train, and EMU trains, and supplies backup and power management systems to petroleum, petrochemical, power grid, telecom, and defense customers. Internationally, it has executed projects in Bangladesh, Egypt, Vietnam, UAE, Iraq, and the Niger-Benin pipeline corridor, with stated trading reach in 43+ countries.

The go-to-market is quote-based, relationship-driven enterprise sales, supported by an unusually deep certification stack (AS9100D, ISO/TS22163, IRIS, EN15085E, CE, CCS Type Approval, China Railway Product Certification, IECQ) that functions as a regulatory moat in safety-critical aviation and rail. The company completed joint-stock reform in 2023 and is currently undergoing 2024 organizational restructuring with decentralized decision rights, incentive redesign, and B2B sales capability buildout, while expanding its energy storage franchise to diversify beyond traditional defense and transport customers.

Direct peers

• GS Yuasa: GS Yuasa is a Japanese battery maker supplying aviation (including Boeing and defense platforms), rail, and industrial standby power — a direct comparable to Changhong's aviation, rail, and industrial NiCd/lithium product lines.
• EnerSys: EnerSys is a global industrial battery manufacturer with strong positions in reserve power, rail, and aerospace batteries, overlapping directly with Changhong's industrial battery and power supply system business.
• SAFT (TotalEnergies): SAFT is a French industrial battery specialist (now part of TotalEnergies) making nickel-cadmium, lithium-ion, and silver-zinc cells for aviation, rail, defense, and energy storage — almost identical customer set and product matrix to Sichuan Changhong Battery.
• HBL Power Systems: HBL Power Systems is an Indian manufacturer of nickel-cadmium, lead-acid, and lithium batteries for railways, defense, and aviation — closely comparable to Changhong in product chemistry mix and end-market focus.
• Coslight Technology: Coslight Technology is a Chinese battery manufacturer with aviation, rail, and industrial product lines, making it one of the closest domestic direct peers to Sichuan Changhong Battery.
• EaglePicher Technologies: EaglePicher is a US-based defense and aerospace battery specialist (NiCd, Li-ion, thermal) — directly comparable to Changhong's defense/aviation NiCd and silver-zinc offerings.

Emerging players

• Sungrow Power Supply: Sungrow is a leading Chinese energy storage system integrator with deep deployment in grid-scale and C&I storage — competing with Changhong's energy storage business where end customers prioritize system-level track record over cell-level branding.

Broad incumbents

• CATL (Contemporary Amperex Technology): CATL is the dominant global Li-ion battery manufacturer; while not a direct aviation/rail specialist, its scale and pricing power shape the competitive landscape in energy storage — a stated growth segment for Changhong.
• BYD Company: BYD operates one of the largest battery and energy storage businesses globally and competes with Changhong in C&I and grid-scale ESS as well as rail-adjacent power electronics — a broad incumbent rather than a niche specialist.

Regional players

• Shenzhen BAK Battery: BAK Battery is a Chinese Li-ion cell maker serving e-mobility, ESS, and specialty applications — overlapping with Changhong's LiFePO4/NCM and energy storage product lines within China.
