Samsung SDI announced on November 15 that it will participate in RE+ 2026, North America's largest energy industry exhibition, which will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, for three days starting November 17 (local time).

At the exhibition, Samsung SDI will present its power ESS solution SBB 2.0, high-output prismatic batteries for uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and cylindrical batteries for battery backup units (BBU), under the theme "AI Thinks, Battery Enables."

The key product is SBB 2.0, for which Samsung SDI has completed the establishment of a local production system in the United States. This power ESS solution houses battery cells and safety devices in a 20-foot container and uses lithium iron phosphate (LFP) prismatic batteries. Samsung SDI has improved safety and lifespan through its proprietary materials and electrode plate technologies, and plans to begin full-scale supply of products manufactured locally.

Samsung SDI will also debut in the North American market its U8A3 UPS prismatic battery solution, which became the first in the world to meet all criteria in an Indoor Large-Scale Fire Test (Indoor LSFT) conducted by global safety certification organization UL Solutions. Using lithium manganese oxide (LMO) materials, the product features a multi-layered safety design spanning cells, modules, and racks, and can respond to rapid changes in power loads at artificial intelligence (AI) data centers.

Samsung SDI will also exhibit cylindrical batteries for BBUs that deliver both high output and high capacity. The company plans to meet demand in the AI data center market with a diverse lineup of battery products, ranging from high-nickel NCA to LFP.

A Samsung SDI representative said, "We will showcase locally tailored products and technologies to target the rapidly growing U.S. market," adding, "Our strategy is to lead the North American market with technologies specialized for the AI era."
