Hithium completes the World's First All Open-Door Large-Scale Fire Test
Sets new safety benchmark under four ultimate test challenges XIAMEN, China, June 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Hithium, a leading global energy storage technology company, has completed the world's first all open-door large-scale fire test of its ∞Block 5MWh battery energy storage system (BESS). This pioneering achievement sets a new benchmark for safety validation methods, marking a milestone in the global energy storage industry. As thermal runaway and other safety incidents in BESS draw increasing concern, more rigorous and standardized safety testing is urgently needed. The open-door fire test was developed to meet this requirement—featuring four ultimate test challenges: All open-door combustion: The container doors remained fully open throughout the test, creating an unrestrained combustion environment with intensified oxygen flow—far more severe than traditional closed-door scenarios 15cm minimum spacing: The BESS were placed side by side and back to back with just 15cm spacing. Despite flames over 1300°C, no thermal propagation occurred, proving effective close-range isolation. Fire suppression system deactivated: All fire suppression systems were deactivated. The system relied solely on passive fire protection to withstand prolonged intense fire, demonstrating autonomous fire resistance and reliability. 100% State of Charge (SOC): The BESS was tested at full capacity to maximize thermal energy release, validating the system's reliability and stability under the harshest conditions. Conducted by UL Solutions, a globally recognized safety certification authority, and witnessed by certified U.S. fire protection engineers and customers, the test strictly adhered to UL 9540A and NFPA 855 safety standards. Despite undergoing 15 hours of full combustion, the system structure remained intact, with no fire propagation to any of the three adjacent containers. This result validates Hithium's multi-layered passive safety architecture and thermal isolation capabilities, even under the most extreme conditions. This achievement highlights Hithium's commitment to innovation and quality, providing valuable insights for future safety standards in the industry. Moving forward, Hithium will continue to advance safety performance through technology and global collaboration, driving the industry toward a safer and more reliable future. About Hithium Founded in 2019, Hithium is a leading global company in new energy technology, committed to delivering energy storage solutions centered on advanced energy storage battery and system technologies.

Redefining Utility-Scale Storage: Envision Unveils EN 8 Pro at Smarter E Europe 2025
MUNICH, May 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Envision Energy, a global leader in green technology , today announced the launch of its next-generation EN 8 Pro 8MWh DC Liquid-Cooled Energy Storage System at Smarter E Europe 2025. Designed to accelerate the transition to an intelligent, resilient, and net-zero energy future, the EN 8 Pro sets a new benchmark in safety, performance, cost-efficiency, and environmental adaptability. Featuring a high energy density design that delivers over 8MWh high capacity, it combines advanced fire protection, intelligent thermal management, and reduced Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE), making it an ideal solution for large-scale renewable integration and utility-scale energy storage. Prevention-First Strategy for Ultra-Safety Envision's 'Prevention First' fire safety strategy is fully embodied in the EN 8 Pro. Multi-layer defence combining three levels of fire suppression with active and passive deflagration control for full fire protection from cell to system level. Patented Triple-Fuse Cell Technology -electrical, gas, and solid-state fuses greatly reduces cell-level thermal runaway risk, by interrupting electrical pathways, relieving pressure, and blocking ion transport. Early Fault Detection: AI-IoT diagnostics predict early failure warnings and continuous health insights for proactive intervention. Fully compliant with NFPA 855 and NFPA 68/69, the system delivers industry-leading protection under extreme conditions. Lower LCOE and HigherPerformance 26 % smaller footprint (4-hour system) and 12 % lower auxiliary power drive down LCOE. (4-hour system) and drive down LCOE. Quick-connect interface allows pack replacement in under one hour, minimising downtime. allows pack replacement in under one hour, minimising downtime. 700 Ah-plus cells provide > 8 MWh capacity with higher energy density and long service life. provide > 8 MWh capacity with higher energy density and long service life. Precision SoC algorithms and millisecond-level data acquisition optimize energy management in real time. Exceptional Environmental Adaptability With IP55 protection, C5 anti-corrosion ratings, and low-noise technology — achieving 20dB quieter than typical industry standards, the EN 8 Pro thrives in harsh climates, sound-sensitive areas, urban centres, and industrial zones alike. 'In the race to net-zero, energy storage must be safer, smarter, and more efficient,' said Kevin Huang, Senior Vice President and President of Energy Storage Product Line at Envision Energy, 'The EN 8 Pro is not just a product launch — it's a leap forward in how we think about building a decarbonized, AI-driven energy system at scale. With industry-leading safety innovations, record energy density, and exceptional environmental resilience, the EN 8 Pro addresses the real challenges of the global energy transition. We are proud to debut it at Smarter E Europe 2025, a global stage where technology and action meet to accelerate a sustainable future.' The EN 8 Pro is poised to support utility-scale renewable integration, grid stabilization, and energy transition projects worldwide. – End – View original content to download multimedia: SOURCE Envision Energy
