Hithium

HiTHIUM (Xiamen Hithium Energy Storage Technology Co., Ltd.) is a Chinese energy storage company founded in 2019 that designs and manufactures lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cells, modules and complete battery energy storage systems (BESS) for utility-scale, commercial and industrial, and residential applications. The product line runs from large-format prismatic ESS cells through liquid-cooled multi-megawatt-hour container systems to the HeroEE residential and portable range marketed at hero-ee.com. Company material reports roughly 8,000 staff, more than 1,100 R&D engineers and over 3,900 patents. Product pages publish named certifications including UL 1973, UL 9540, UL 9540A, NFPA 855, IEC 62619, IEC 62477, IEC 63056, IEC 61000 and UN 38.3. HiTHIUM operates a Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT) running an IEC 62443-aligned vulnerability management process, and publishes numbered cybersecurity bulletins with CVE references and remediation guidance at hithium.com/support/security.html. HiTHIUM publishes no developer portal, no API reference, no OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, GraphQL or Postman contract, no SDKs, no CLI, no webhook catalog and no MCP or A2A agent surface; third-party integration happens over Modbus/CAN interfaces described in datasheets and manuals that sit behind the download-center account gate, and the HeroEE consumer app's backend is undocumented.

human only

More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Hithium the way a machine reads it — 3 machine-readable artifacts, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Hithium scores 14.6/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

No API surface

Why this profile is thin

HiTHIUM sells battery cells and containerised storage systems, not software: there is no developer surface anywhere on its estate - eleven candidate API/docs subdomains of hithium.com fail to resolve, every /.well-known/* path 404s on all three live hosts, the HeroEE brand site answers 200 with the same Next.js HTML shell for /openapi.json and /llms.txt (a soft-200, not a document), there is no GitHub organisation, and the only integration documentation that exists - the Modbus/CAN datasheets and manuals - sits behind the download centre's "Please login to download this datasheet" account gate.

This is an honest zero, not a gap in our research. Hithium does not appear to expose an API, so there is nothing here for us to index and nothing for them to fix.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Hithium

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Hithium. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

Pricing Plans 1

Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the things the Kin Score reads for access clarity — renamed from commercial clarity in rubric 0.12, because a free statutory interface has access terms and no commercial ones.

Published pricing tiers and plan structures.

Security Posture 2

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Hithium, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
