Hithium launches 4 MWh sodium-ion BESS with new 785Ah cell
Chinese battery maker Hithium held a product launch for its next sodium-ion energy storage solution, announcing the ∞Power N4.0MWh, a 4 MWh sodium-ion energy storage system equipped with the new high-capacity ∞Cell N785Ah sodium-ion battery, representing a huge step up in capacity that’s been achieved in less than two years. In the launch, Hithium also announced that while its timeline is starting with utility-scale storage, it will expand from utility-scale storage into commercial and industrial and residential products, bringing more battery chemistry options to businesses and households. Hithium said it plans to begin full-scale production and delivery in 2027 using its existing lithium-ion manufacturing lines, and will offer a 30-year designed service life. Its aim is to rapidly move sodium-ion technology from validation and pilot implementation toward large-scale deployment. ∞Cell N785Ah Image: Hithium The ∞Cell N785Ah cell features a 20,000-cycle service life, supports 2...
