Samsung SDI Co., South Korea's second-largest battery maker, said Monday it will promote its latest energy storage system battery products at a major European battery exhibition next month.
Samsung SDI will take part in InterBattery Europe 2025, one of the key exhibitions under The Smarter E Europe -- the continent's largest energy industry event -- set to take place in Germany from May 7-9, the company said in a press release.
At this year's show, the company plans to introduce a variety of next-generation batteries, with a special focus on its ESS technology designed for the emerging era of artificial intelligence.
The products on display will include the U8A1, a new battery developed for uninterruptible power supply systems, and the Samsung Battery Box 1.5.
A UPS is a crucial backup system that provides emergency power to facilities like data centers during outages.
The SBB 1.5 boasts improved safety features by using enhanced direct injection technology, which sprays fire-extinguishing agents directly onto battery modules to prevent overheating and thermal spread.
Samsung SDI is the only Korean battery company to be named a finalist for The Smart E Award at this year's event, the release said.
The Smart E Awards honor innovative products and technologies across five categories: energy storage, electric mobility, solar energy, smart energy solutions, and outstanding projects. (Yonhap)
