DONGGUAN, China, May 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Wiltson Energy, a leading innovator in low-temperature lithium battery technology, today announced a groundbreaking achievement, demonstrating unmatched reliability for demanding power solutions in the United States and globally. The company’s proprietary low-temperature battery system successfully supported a critical national Mount Everest expedition, delivering flawless, zero-maintenance performance at an altitude of 29,032 feet. This powerful system ensured the continuous operation of the world’s highest automatic weather station and vital ice core drilling equipment under some of the planet’s most extreme conditions.
Operating in the extreme conditions of Mount Everest, with temperatures plummeting to -40°C (-40°F), severe low air pressure, and ultra-high altitude, has historically posed formidable challenges for battery technology. Previous solutions utilizing standard or externally heated batteries, including ternary lithium and conventional lithium iron phosphate, struggled to provide the necessary sustained power and long-term stability required for critical scientific operations.
Wiltson’s engineering team successfully overcame these formidable challenges by leveraging their advanced low-temperature LiFePO4 battery technology, conquering three key obstacles:
- Exceptional Discharge Performance in Extreme Cold: Achieving over 80% discharge efficiency at -40°C (-40°F), comparable to normal temperature operation., ensured critical equipment remained reliably powered.
- Direct Solar Charging Capability at Freezing Temperatures: Enabling direct charging via solar power at temperatures as low as 0°C (32°F) eliminated the need for complex, energy-consuming heating systems and solved the critical challenge of energy replenishment in remote, frigid locations.
- Robust Pressure-Resistant Design: Employing a durable cylindrical steel case design effectively mitigated the risk of pressure differential failures common at extreme altitudes and low atmospheric pressure, ensuring consistent, reliable operation.
This successful mission unequivocally validated the exceptional reliability and resilience of Wiltson’s battery technology in the world’s most challenging environments. The battery system provided continuous, uninterrupted power to the scientific equipment for an impressive 12 days without any external power source or maintenance requirements.
This proven capability has broad applications, particularly for demanding environments across the United States, including scientific research in polar or high-altitude regions, critical infrastructure in cold climates (like remote monitoring or telecommunications), and robust outdoor photovoltaic power solutions. Unlike conventional low-temperature approaches that rely on external heating, Wiltson’s direct low-temperature lithium battery core allows for seamless charging and discharging in temperatures as low as -40°C (-40°F). This ‘no-heat-needed’ approach results in a significantly more direct, efficient, and dependable battery product design, effectively eliminating cold weather as a barrier to high-performance lithium battery use. Backed by international certifications including UL, CB, CE, UN38.3 and REACH, Wiltson leverages the inherent safety and long cycle life of lithium iron phosphate chemistry to deliver this revolutionary performance.
“Successfully powering critical scientific equipment on Mount Everest, enduring temperatures down to -40°C and extreme low pressure for 12 days, is a monumental achievement for Wiltson Energy,” said Robert Xie, Wiltson’s Chairman and CTO. “This mission unequivocally demonstrates the unmatched reliability and performance of our low-temperature battery technology in the world’s most demanding environments. We are incredibly proud of this validation and are eager to bring these proven capabilities to customers across the US market who face similar challenges requiring dependable power in extreme cold, high altitude, or remote locations. This technology changes what’s possible for applications from scientific research and polar expeditions to critical infrastructure and off-grid solar.”

CANNES, France, May 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On May 21st at Marche du Film, Festival de Cannes, the Animal Nature Future Film Festival (ANFFF), presented by UK non-profit INB CIC, debuted its 2025 theme initiative: Resonance of Nature: Bond of Life. The program features six short films from the UK, US, and China, exploring intricate relationships between humans, animals, and ecosystems. Through narrative, ecological performance, and hybrid documentary, these works reflect the festival’s commitment to cinematic storytelling as a catalyst for environmental awareness and cross-cultural dialogue.
The theme film of ANFFF 2025 has been specially commissioned by director Yangyang Shao, and features rising star actress Yulingqiao Zhang. Rooted in the five human senses and their intricate connection to nature and urban life, the film explores the emotional and sensory relationship between the body and its environment. Through Xiang Zhang’s visually arresting work—seamlessly transitioning between black-and-white and color—the film combines montage editing and an evocative score by international composers Weichen Lin, William Qi, and Han Bao to create an immersive, multisensory journey back to nature.
The film’s producer and ANFFF founder Kean Cao describes it as “a breathing visual poem”. As the concept film for the new edition of the festival, she hopes it will resonate with audiences across cultures—inviting them to pause, step away from the noise of daily life, and rediscover the quiet, flowing energy of the natural world.
The program features five additional films spanning science, memory, and climate futures. Immaculate, created by BBC science researcher Ningjing Wang, follows a passionate scientist’s quest to save the rare spotless tree frog—earning a BAFTA Student Award nomination and Best Young Filmmaker at ANFFF 2024. A Letter from a Rose documents 200 years of botanical history, born from director Long Jing‘s five-year collaboration with nature in Shanghai. Zhikun Zhang’s Spring Once More portrays a father’s inner awakening during his wife’s second childbirth. NURA, a WeShort Original, tells the story of a woman navigating survival in a climate-collapsed world. Antigone (Modern) by Uriah Jiang & Sino-US directors, reimagines the Greek tragedy with Stella Adler youth, challenging human hubris against nature.
Following the screening, audience members shared reflections. Viewer Paolo praised the films’ cross-cultural insights. Georgia aligned with ANFFF’s mission, and was moved by the real-world ecological impact these films represent — raising awareness and protecting endangered species. She hopes to bring these stories to audiences in her own country.
WeShort CEO Alex Loprieno signed a long-term screening and distribution partnership with ANFFF during the event, solidifying their shared mission to advance ecological cinema globally. Through this collaboration, they will support the market growth and international circulation of environmentally focused films, empowering filmmakers to engage with pressing ecological narratives.
Building on this vision, ANFFF invites curators worldwide to its platform, leveraging localized screenings and community engagement to amplify ecological and animal protection—story by story, region by region.
