Hithium's new battery has an energy efficiency of 95% and an energy density of 170 Wh/kg. It is believed that it can work for more than 12.000 cycles.
China's Hithium unveiled a new battery at the RE+ Anaheim event in California last week.
"We produce the Hithium 300Ah battery at our production facility in Xiamen City, Fujian Province," said a company spokesperson. "And in the near future, we will also have another production plant in Chongqing."
The battery measures 71mm x 173mm x 207mm and weighs 5,6kg. It has a capacity of 300 Ah and a nominal voltage of 3,2 V. It also has an energy efficiency of 95% and an energy density of 170 Wh/kg.
The Li-ion system uses LiFePO4 as the cathode material and has an ambient operating temperature range of -20 C to 55 C. It is believed to be able to operate for more than 12.000 cycles. It also has an IP68 protection level.
“With further improved cycles and highly efficient energy production, compared to energy storage systems using 280Ah cells, the one using Prismatic Hithium 300Ah cells can reduce the LCOE by about 25,3%, improve the internal rate of return by about 18,4 .5% and, it is important to save the initial investment by about XNUMX%,” said the Chinese storage systems manufacturer.
Hithium recently announced plans to invest $4,71 billion in expanding its production capacity to 135 GWh by the end of 2025.
