CHONGQING -- Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer BYD said on Wednesday it will equip all of its vehicles with a newly developed battery in a move aimed at expanding its battery business.

The company claims the new battery has improved safety and performance. BYD had previously installed the battery on only a few models. In addition to the four EVs BYD launched on Wednesday, the automaker will gradually replace batteries of existing models with the latest version.
