BEIJING, April 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- HiTHIUM showcased its full-scenario energy storage solutions at ESIE 2026, held in Beijing from April 1-3. The company highlighted its ∞Cell 1175Ah long-duration energy storage (LDES) battery and BESS, along with its AIDC full-duration energy storage solution. At the event, HiTHIUM released the full results of a large-scale fire test for its ∞Power 6.25MWh 4h BESS and received certification from UL Solutions. This marks the world's first open-door fire test of the LDES system equipped with kAh-level battery cells, setting a new benchmark for system-level safety validation.
Advancing Industry-Wide Understanding of Energy Storage Safety
During the exhibition, HiTHIUM hosted a certification ceremony for the world's first large-scale fire test of a BESS equipped with kAh-level battery cells. Jiawu Chen, the Fire Test Project Lead and Senior Fire Protection Design Engineer at HiTHIUM, presented the test design and execution. A full-length video showcased the entire process, key technical milestones, and final results.
Through this technical sharing, HiTHIUM translated an extreme safety validation into practical and replicable industry insights, reinforcing the shift from "design-level safety" to verifiable system safety in long-duration energy storage.
UL Solutions Grants the Certification, Validating System Safety
During the certification ceremony, Chi Chen, APAC Senior Product Manager, Energy and Automation at UL Solutions, noted that UL 9540A 6th Edition (released March 2026) expands safety validation to full-container and system-level fire scenarios. HiTHIUM's 6.25MWh BESS was tested under open-door, large-scale fire conditions in compliance with this standard, validating the reliability of its passive safety design.
The certification indicates the system meets stringent market access requirements across major global markets and supports its international deployment.
Verifiable Safety Demonstrated in World's First Extreme Fire Test of a 6.25MWh 4h LDES System
Previously, under the full witness of UL Solutions and independent experts, the 6.25MWh BESS underwent an extreme fire test in accordance with the latest UL 9540A (2025) and NFPA 855 (2026) standards. The test applied multiple stringent conditions, including fully open container doors, minimal spacing of 15 cm in a back-to-back and side-by-side configuration, 100% state of charge, and deactivation of active fire protection systems.
Results showed the fire was contained within a single container, with no thermal propagation between units. The enclosure remained structurally intact after the burn, demonstrating reliable safety performance under real-world fire scenarios.
Ecosystem Collaboration Highlights Lighthouse Manufacturing
At the exhibition, HiTHIUM partnered with ecosystem collaborators to launch interactive check-in activities centered on the ∞Cell 1175Ah LDES battery, featuring a joint partner booth tour and a lighthouse factory-themed experience, attracting strong visitor engagement and in-depth interaction.
Notably, in January 2026, HiTHIUM's Chongqing manufacturing base was recognized as the world's first Lighthouse Factory for energy storage batteries and operates the first dedicated production line for LDES batteries. The site integrates over 40 digital solutions, incorporating technologies such as generative AI, machine learning, and AIoT to enable end-to-end intelligent management—from R&D and material selection to manufacturing and final testing—ensuring high consistency across production.
Looking ahead, HiTHIUM will continue to focus on long-duration energy storage, strengthening its capabilities in verifiable product safety, scalable delivery, and full-scenario solutions. Together with global partners, the company aims to support the high-quality development of the energy storage industry and advance the global energy transition.

HiTHIUM's kAh-Level 6.25MWh BESS Receives International Certification Following Large-Scale Fire Test
HOUSTON, April 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- With an estimated 10.4 million residential pools in the U.S.—more than half of which are above-ground setups—backyard recreation has become a staple of family life. As above-ground pools become increasingly popular, the sheer time and physical effort required for water upkeep has emerged as a widespread frustration. Between hauling heavy bags of silica sand and agonizing over cloudy water, pool maintenance often drains the joy out of summer. Addressing this common pain point, global home improvement brand VEVOR today announced the launch of its new FlashPure Sand Filter Pump. Engineered to eliminate the friction of pool maintenance, the new system features up to 6X* faster filtration than ever before, delivering pro-level performance without the pro-level price.
FlashPure Technology: Not Just Faster, But Cleaner
Traditionally, achieving a crystal-clear, hygienic backyard oasis meant either spending hours on manual labor or overpaying for complex, professional-grade equipment. VEVOR's FlashPure Technology bridges this gap by fundamentally reimagining how filtration works. The technology integrates a new generation of high-performance filter media with a seamless design, driven by a robust and efficient motor tailored to the unit's dimensions. All these elements contribute to instantly clear water—ensuring it is not just filtered faster, but comprehensively purified, so families can enjoy both speed and healthy water.
"At VEVOR, we believe a backyard pool should be a source of relaxation, not a second job," said Gavin, Brand Director at VEVOR. "The FlashPure system was engineered to completely remove the anxiety of water maintenance. By combining professional-grade filtration with an intuitive, hassle-free design, we are fulfilling our core promise: giving families their summer weekends back and making premium home ecosystems accessible to everyone."
Transforming Maintenance into Instant Gratification
Rather than delivering a complex machine that requires a manual to decipher, VEVOR translated its technical innovations into immediate, tangible benefits for the everyday user:
- Saving the Spontaneous Pool Party (Up to 6X Faster Filtration): The panic of waking up to a murky pool on the morning of a summer gathering is a thing of the past. Capable of clarifying water up to 6X* faster than conventional silica sand systems under identical lab conditions, FlashPure Technology leverages its advanced filter balls and powerful motor to rapidly restore pristine water. Delivering faster and more thorough filtration than standard pumps, these new-generation filter balls keep the pool crystal clear by efficiently trapping finer particles. Beyond superior performance, they are significantly lighter and far easier to replace than traditional silica sand—eliminating the heavy lifting and ensuring a premium, hassle-free swimming experience.
- Skipping the Tedious DIY Assembly (Effortless Out-of-the-Box Setup): Opening new pool equipment shouldn't feel like a daunting construction project. The VEVOR unit arrives completely pre-assembled and pre-installed with the filter balls. Users bypass the tedious steps of pouring heavy sand or deciphering complex instructions. Even for parents who aren't naturally handy—or those trying to set up while keeping an eye on eager kids—it takes only a few simple connections to the above-ground pool to instantly start the system.
- A Worry-Free Season (Seamless & Leak-Proof): Leaks and pressure drops can cause long-term anxiety, often leaving muddy puddles that ruin the backyard aesthetic. By utilizing a seamless, one-piece molded structure, the FlashPure pump eliminates the vulnerable connection points that plague traditional multi-piece designs. This keeps the yard dry and the pool running flawlessly all season long.
Available in 12-inch, 14-inch, and 16-inch models to accommodate different above-ground pool sizes, the new VEVOR FlashPure Sand Filter Pump is a highly anticipated upgrade for both pool-maintenance beginners and seasoned owners looking to make upkeep a breeze. The new VEVOR FlashPure Sand Filter Pump is now available through vevor.com, Amazon, and Walmart.
