HiNa Battery Technology

HiNa Battery, spun off from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2017, is a veteran sodium-ion champion with over 30 years of academic roots. In 2022, it established the world's first 1,000-ton-scale sodium-ion cathode line. Its HE240 cell delivers 240 Ah, 150+ Wh/kg, 8,000 cycles at 0.5C, operating from -40°C to 60°C—making it the most cycle-stable product among the top four for grid storage. The NE170 offers 10,000 cycles at 1C. A fast-charging cell for heavy commercial vehicles charges fully in 20 minutes. HiNa built the world's first 100 MWh sodium-ion storage project and a 50 MW station in Hubei (July 2024). Current production is 1 GWh, with a 5 GWh roadmap. Backed by Kecheng Capital and others, its 2022 valuation was $786 million.
