// DATA GAP — BATTERY CHEMISTRY
Xiaomi has not publicly disclosed the battery chemistry for any 2026 SU7 trim — Standard, Pro, or Max [?]. This is not a minor specification detail. Battery chemistry is the single variable that determines:
- Temperature behavior: LFP, NMC, and LMFP chemistries have fundamentally different charging curves below 0C. Without knowing the chemistry, cold-weather charging performance cannot be independently modeled.
- Degradation profile: Cycle life at high C-rates (5.2C for Max trim [C]) depends directly on cathode and anode chemistry. Independent lifecycle modeling requires this data.
- Thermal runaway risk profile: LFP is inherently more thermally stable than NMC. If the SU7 uses NMC at 5.2C sustained charge rates, the thermal management requirements are fundamentally different.

Battery Chemistry for 2026 SU7 -- All Trims
IMPACT: Temperature behavior modeling, degradation projection, and thermal runaway risk assessment cannot be independently verified without chemistry disclosure. Every other data gap in this audit is downstream of this one.
This gap has no monitoring trigger with a specific date. Xiaomi may disclose chemistry through a future specification update, third-party teardown, or regulatory filing. Until then, all temperature and degradation inferences in the audit carry an additional uncertainty layer.
