Strong in R&D

  • Narada is placing a heavy emphasis on battery R&D so to generate new products and open up application fields for secondary batteries.
  • This R&D effort supports Narada’s Lead Acid and Rechargeable Lithium battery business as also activities in battery systems engineering.
  • These activities are carried out in the main R&D center in Linan and at the Lithium battery production facility in Linping, both located close to Hangzhou.
  • A total of 215 persons (2014) are engaged in this activity with over 30% of them carrying masters or PhD degrees.
  • So to maintain close contact with Academia and the scientific community at large, Narada is hosting several external Chinese and foreign scientists, researchers and consultants at its facilities.
  • This helps, with ”out-of-the-box” thinking, in formulating new product strategies and solving production and quality issues.

CNAS Accredited Battery Performance Test Laboratories
