Hithium debuts new products, including 6-MWh lithium BESS

At a company event last week, Hithium premiered three new products: a 6.25-MWh BESS, a sodium-ion battery for utility-scale, and a home microgrid system.

The ∞Power 6.25-MWh BESS will come in two-hour or four-hour setups. In the two-hour scenario, the battery cell is 587 Ah, while the four-hour BESS scenario uses 1,175 Ah. The BESS will come in the same standard, 20-ft container as previous designs.

Hithium will decouple the system components from the battery modules including power, thermal management, control, fire safety and output — somethin it is calling loose coupling. The global delivery of ∞Power 6.25 MWh 2h/4h BESS will begin in Q2 2025.

Hithium believes that the sodium-ion battery industry has yet to identify large-scale scenarios and unveiled ∞Cell N162Ah, a specialized sodium-ion battery for utility-scale energy storage. This product focuses on polyanionic cathode paired with hard carbon anode, incorporating advanced materials such as homogeneous high conductivity coatings, hard carbon anode and weak-bonding electrolyte formula. It achieves a cycle life of over 20,000 cycles and operates in a wide temperature range, with high-rate capability, high round-trip efficiency and a state of health (SOH) of 70%. The ∞Cell N162Ah is now available for global sampling, with GWh mass production planned for Q4 2025.

Hithium also launched HeroES, its first installation-free home microgrid system. Comprising the smart storage module (Storage series) and the smart control module (SynergyBox), HeroES is tailored for home energy storage scenarios, featuring open-shelf modularization features. The initial installation requires only 30 minutes, the company claims.

Furthermore, HeroES is equipped with Hithium’s original intelligent algorithm, which can achieve self-evolution in energy management and improve home energy efficiency by 10%. Additionally, HeroES has a robust home microgrid capability. Different specifications of intelligent storage modules can be combined wirelessly and scalable to achieve plug-and-play. The global delivery of HeroES is set to begin in Q3 2025.
