The evaluation was conducted by the CASIC Electronic Technology Standardization Research Institute under China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, following the T/CNESA 1006-2025 General Specification for Sodium-Ion Batteries, issued by the China Energy Storage Alliance.

Sodium-ion batteries are increasingly recognized as a key solution for integrating renewable energy, due to their abundant raw materials and balanced performance. The ∞Cell N162Ah is built on sodium iron ortho-pyrophosphate cathode technology, offering over 20,000 charge cycles, high efficiency, long lifespan, wide temperature ranges (-40°C to 60°C), high-rate capability, and high safety. These features make it ideal for large-scale wind and solar power grids.

HiTHIUM is moving rapidly from lab to commercial-scale deployment. The ∞Cell N162Ah completed development and safety testing in October 2024 and was officially released in December 2024. It has obtained authoritative certifications including UN38.3, and GWh-scale production is expected by the end of 2025. In parallel, HiTHIUM has launched an AI Data Center energy storage solution, integrating its 8-hour lithium long-duration BESS and 1-hour sodium BESS with a lifetime assessment model, addressing high-demand power scenarios.

The successful assessment of the ∞Cell N162Ah demonstrates HiTHIUM's technological leadership and practical approach to industrializing advanced sodium-ion battery solutions. With this achievement, HiTHIUM continues to drive the development of next-generation energy storage systems, supporting global renewable energy integration and contributing to the transition toward a secure and sustainable energy future.
