Month: September 2026

Separate 6 GWh expansion planned by year-end 2026 would more than double the existing Nanjing facility’s annual cell capacity

DALIAN, China, Sept. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CBAK Energy Technology Limited (NASDAQ: CBAT) (“CBAK Energy” or the “Company”), a China-based lithium-ion battery manufacturer and energy solutions provider, today announced that it has signed an investment agreement with the Nanjing Gaochun Economic Development Zone for the research, development and manufacture of large cylindrical sodium-ion battery cells and integrated battery systems in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province. The project would add 12 gigawatt-hours (“GWh”) of annual cell production capacity, advancing the Company’s previously announced sodium-ion expansion plan.

CBAK Energy advances its sodium-ion expansion with a planned 12 GWh project in Nanjing.

Separately, CBAK Energy targets an additional 6 GWh of annual cell capacity at its existing Nanjing facility by year-end 2026. The Company plans to advance the 12 GWh project in the second half of 2027, subject to securing financing.

6 GWh Expansion at the Existing Nanjing Facility

To meet strong demand for Model 60150 large cylindrical cells, CBAK Energy plans to expand its existing Nanjing facility in the second half of 2026. The facility currently has 4.5 GWh of annual Model 32140 cell capacity. The additional 6 GWh would bring its total annual cell capacity to 10.5 GWh.

At full capacity with all output sold, the additional 6 GWh could generate an estimated RMB2.4 billion to RMB2.7 billion (approximately US$356 million to US$400 million) in annual revenue.

The Company is considering two Model 60150 production lines for the expansion. Given strong demand for Model 32140 cells, it may instead install one Model 32140 line and one Model 60150 line. The cell models and production-line configuration may be adjusted as market conditions and customer demand evolve.

12 GWh Project to Support Sodium-Ion and Lithium-Ion Production

The production lines will be designed to manufacture large cylindrical sodium-ion or lithium-ion cells. The Company will determine which chemistry to produce based on market conditions and customer demand. At current lithium-ion cell market prices, the Company estimates that the 12 GWh project could generate an additional RMB4.8 billion to RMB5.0 billion (approximately US$712 million to US$741 million) in annual revenue at full capacity with all output sold.

The project would cover cell manufacturing as well as module and battery pack integration. Development would proceed in phases based on financing, customer demand and project readiness.

“The 6 GWh expansion would more than double annual cell capacity at our existing Nanjing facility and help us meet strong demand for large cylindrical cells,” said Zhiguang Hu, Chief Executive Officer of CBAK Energy. “The 12 GWh investment agreement advances our plans for sodium-ion production. Designing the lines to produce lithium-ion cells as well would give us more options to serve customers as demand develops in both markets. We plan to develop the project in phases, with investment guided by financing availability and customer demand.”

LindellTV and Real America’s Voice step in to ensure continuous coverage from the White House and Joint Base Andrews during President Xi’s arrival.

Washington, D.C. , Sept. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — (MLMC) Mike Lindell Media Corp., LindellTV, and Real America’s Voice provided coordinated, on‑site media coverage from both the White House and Joint Base Andrews, ensuring continuous reporting during President Xi’s arrival and related official activity. With major legacy networks declining pool participation, including CNN, MS NOW, and Politico, who alleged they were banned from the White House, it was LindellTV and Real America’s Voice who stepped forward to ensure that journalists and the public received real‑time access to the day’s events. 

Real America’s Voice and LindellTV deployed broadcast teams to both locations, capturing the diplomatic arrival at Joint Base Andrews as well as activity at the White House on Wednesday. Their joint-coverage ensured uninterrupted reporting during a moment of heightened international attention, but more importantly, filled a void in reporting.

“Today demonstrated why independent networks matter,” said Mike Lindell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at Mike Lindell Media Corp. “When legacy news outlets step back, LindellTV and Real America’s Voice step forward and are up to the challenge. Our teams were on the ground, delivering the coverage Americans expect and deserve.” 

Chief White House Correspondent, Cara Castronuova said, “LindellTV agrees with Real America’s Voice that it is best for alternative media to come together at a crucial time like this to document historical White House Events. LindellTV was happy to work with the great people at Real America’s Voice in bringing the best pool coverage to the world, and showing that alternative media can step up to the plate for the American people.” 

The combined presence of Real America’s Voice and LindellTV filled a large gap in the press pool, providing footage, commentary, and updates to media partners and audiences nationwide and worldwide. Both outlets reaffirmed their commitment to maintaining consistent access and transparency during major national and international events.

The (AP) Associated Press reportedly indicated that no U.S. Network pool coverage is expected today due to on-going restrictions imposed by the White House, and will be outside the White House and other areas providing security visuals and possible motorcade activity.

Earlier this week, CNN, MS NOW, and Politico were denied entry to the White House press area, prompting multiple other networks to suspend press pool duties. Real America’s Voice and LindellTV stepped in to maintain on‑site reporting during the gap in coverage. President Trump has stated that media outlets must meet the administration’s expectations for responsible reporting. The White House reiterated that coverage would continue through any media outlet willing to operate within those guidelines.

As of today at 10:00am EDT, neither CNN, MS NOW, nor Politico had gained entrance to the White House but according to LindellTV, other legacy media and a large contingent of foreign reporters were in the building.

Devices in the Vishay Sfernice D2TO20, D2TO35, DTO35, and DTO35 / D2TO35 sample kits offer high power ratings of 20 W and 35 W in their compact, surface-mount packages. This high power density allows designers to reduce the number of parallel resistors or larger through-hole devices required, saving board space. Ideal for automotive, industrial, and other high reliability designs, all resistors in the kits are AEC-Q200 qualified, eliminating the need for additional component qualification during development.

Covering a wide resistance range from 1 Ω to 47 kΩ with selected E-series values, the kits reduce sampling efforts and minimize the need for additional sample orders compared to typical single-value or single-package kits. Supplied on cardboard tape strips, with each strip holding four resistors, devices are sorted in ascending order of resistance value and clearly labeled for easy identification. Combined with optional PCB test boards, this organization reduces lab setup time and accelerates design-in.

The resistors feature a non-inductive construction and electrical isolation between the resistor element and the metal tab, ensuring stable high frequency performance and enhanced safety. Compatibility with standard surface-mount assembly processes, including proven reflow resistance up to 270 °C for 10 s, improves assembly margin and manufacturing yield.
