From June 3 to 5, the 19th SNEC PV+ International Photovoltaic Power Generation and Smart Energy Conference & Exhibition was held at the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai.

Widely regarded as a barometer of the renewable-energy industry, SNEC provides a valuable perspective on emerging technologies and evolving market demand. This year, the deeper integration of AI computing infrastructure and smart energy has opened up new growth opportunities. As the market evolves, the competitive benchmark for power solutions is shifting from standalone technical specifications toward reliable delivery capabilities and system-level coordination.

Against this backdrop, Highstar showcased a portfolio of battery products and solutions for AI data center infrastructure, energy storage, sodium-ion applications and high-power scenarios. More than a product display, the exhibition reflected Highstar’s scenario-driven approach: building on lithium–sodium synergy while reinforcing long-term customer value through quality, advanced manufacturing and dependable delivery.

Powering AIDC Infrastructure With High-Reliability Battery Solutions

For artificial intelligence data center (AIDC) power applications, Highstar presented its IFP50160118-85Ah 10C lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cell.

Designed for high-rate applications such as backup power systems for computing centers, the cell is engineered to balance high-power output, millisecond-level response and operational reliability.

In AIDC infrastructure, backup power is no longer limited to emergency support during power outages. As computing density continues to increase, power systems must respond more effectively to transient load fluctuations while working in closer coordination with uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), battery backup units (BBUs), energy storage systems and energy-management strategies.

Battery cells are therefore evolving from standardized components into critical building blocks for the continuous operation of computing infrastructure.

Highstar has also extended its Tabless battery technology to BBU applications. BBUs require compact designs, high-power output and rapid response capabilities. By reducing internal resistance, improving high-current discharge performance and enhancing cycle performance, Highstar’s Tabless technology provides a solid foundation for the expansion of high-power application scenarios.

From AIDC power systems to BBUs, Highstar is not simply pursuing stronger technical specifications. The company is building a more adaptable product portfolio to support resilient and reliable power architectures for next-generation computing infrastructure.

Sodium-Ion Batteries Move From Technology Exploration to Scenario-Based Deployment

Alongside its lithium-ion products, Highstar also highlighted sodium-ion batteries as an increasingly important technology pathway.

To address differentiated application requirements, Highstar showcased a clearer sodium-ion product portfolio:

180Ah and 400Ah prismatic sodium-ion cells for commercial and industrial energy storage, residential energy storage and telecom backup power;

46145-15Ah cylindrical sodium-ion cells for automotive start-stop power applications.

The value of sodium-ion technology lies not in simply replacing lithium-ion batteries, but in providing a new balance among resource availability, cost, safety, wide-temperature performance and supply-chain resilience. Sodium-ion batteries are also expected to gain broader adoption in energy storage applications as the market continues to diversify.

Addressing Diverse Energy Needs Through Lithium–Sodium Synergy

As solar-plus-storage integration, AI applications and scenario-based solutions become increasingly important across the new-energy sector, market competition is entering a new stage. Product performance remains the foundation, but a company’s long-term value will increasingly be determined by the coordinated strength of its technology roadmap, manufacturing capabilities, quality consistency and global delivery network.

To address the complex and evolving application requirements of the smart-energy era, Highstar will continue to advance its lithium–sodium synergy strategy, deepening its presence across AIDC power systems, energy storage, telecom backup power and automotive start-stop applications. Through an unwavering commitment to quality, advanced manufacturing and reliable global delivery, Highstar will continue to create lasting value for customers worldwide.
