HiTHIUM ∞Block 5 MWh Container

Hithium has launched a 5 MWh container product using the standard 20-foot container structure. The more compact second-generation (ESS 2.0), higher-capacity energy storage system will come pre-installed and ready to connect. It will be outfitted with 48 battery modules based on the manufacturer’s 314 Ah LFP cells, each module providing 104.5 kWh capacity and designed to meet the needs of large utility-scale systems.

Due to the compact design, the container will provide an energy density of 117 Wh/l. The product will also be technically compatible with most top inverter brands’ power control systems, or bidirectional inverters.

The energy storage system, named the HiTHIUM ∞Block, comes with the company’s mature multi-level, liquid-cooling technology, which keeps cell temperature variation below 3°C. Intelligent thermal management also enables the system to optimise battery power and reduce internal energy consumption. Further safety features include multi-level fault detection systems, cell monitoring, gas and smoke detection, and automated fire extinguishing.

With 11 GWh of battery products shipped since the company was founded in 2019, Hithium aims to expand its production capacity to 70 GWh by the end of the year.
