The brief

Analyst view
  • Ranked second worldwide in large-scale storage cell shipments in H1 2026, behind CATL.
  • Shipped 35.1 GWh in 2024 on CNY 12.9B revenue; filed for a Hong Kong listing in 2025.
  • Its Heze park, opened August 2026, is built only for long-duration storage cells.

Technical approach

As reported
Big cells

Fewer, much larger cells

A 1,175 Ah cell holds about 3.8 kWh, several times a standard storage cell, so a container needs far fewer cells, joints and sensors.

Chemistry

Lithium iron phosphate

LFP is heavier than EV nickel chemistries but cheap, long-lived and far less prone to fire, which matters more for a stationary grid battery.

Systems

Cells to containers in-house

HiTHIUM sells cells and complete liquid-cooled containers (∞Power), plus hardened versions for desert heat and dust.

Factories

Highly automated lines

Its newest lines exceed 15 GWh each with over 95% automation, cutting staff per GWh by 58% versus the previous generation.
