Samsung SDI expands ESS push with new supply deal to Europe's Tesvolt
Korean battery manufacturer Samsung SDI announced Wednesday that it has signed a contract to supply its flagship energy storage equipment to Tesvolt, one of Europe's leading providers of commercial energy storage systems. Under the agreement, Samsung SDI will supply its Samsung Battery Box 1.0 to Tesvolt through the first quarter of 2026 and begin supplying the upgraded SBB 1.5 starting in the second quarter. Both models will be integrated into Tesvolt's energy storage solutions. The companies did not disclose the financial details or the volume of units covered by the contract. 'We have been supplying ESS batteries to Tesvolt since 2017. With this new SBB supply contract, we expect to further strengthen our partnership,' a Samsung SDI official said. 'We will accelerate our expansion in the global market, including Europe.' SBBs are 6-meter-long containerized battery energy storage equipment that include battery cells, modules and racks. The upgraded SBB 1.5 features a 37 percent increase in capacity, delivering up to 5.26 megawatt-hours, compared to its predecessor. It also enhances safety by adopting Samsung SDI's proprietary fire prevention technology, which directly injects fire-suppressant materials into the cells to prevent thermal runaway and reduce fire risk. The SBB 1.5 received a CES Innovation Award at CES 2025, the world's largest tech show held in Las Vegas. As part of its strategy to expand its presence in the ESS market and diversify beyond the electric vehicle sector, currently impacted by slowing demand, Samsung SDI is pursuing deeper collaborations with European ESS companies. At InterBattery Europe 2025, held in May in Munich, Germany, Samsung SDI highlighted its energy storage system capabilities, including the SBB 1.5. The company also noted Tesvolt's interest in further collaboration, quoting Tesvolt as saying, 'Samsung SDI offers a solution that precisely meets the needs of energy storage system operators.'

Samsung SDI to showcase next-gen battery tech for AI data centers at InterBattery Europe
Korean battery-maker says its optimized solution guarantees high performance, maximum safety Samsung SDI will look to capture global attention with a full-size uninterruptible power supply -- or UPS -- system made for artificial intelligence data centers at InterBattery Europe 2025 in Munich this week, as the battery-maker showcases a wide range of next-generation products, the company said Tuesday. According to Samsung SDI, the UPS is equipped with its new battery, the U8A1, which boasts higher power output to reduce the required installation space by about 33 percent in comparison to previous models. As a UPS system is developed to supply emergency power to AI data centers during an outage, Samsung SDI highlighted that its UPS system presents itself as an optimized solution for AI data centers with high performance and maximum safety. Samsung SDI will also showcase its SBB 1.5, energy storage system -- or ESS -- batteries installed in a 20-foot container featuring battery cells, modules, racks, safety devices and a ventilation system, at the exhibition. The company said the SBB 1.5 offers enhanced safety due to its Enhanced Direct Injection -- or EDI -- technology that can extinguish fires in the modules. The Korean battery-maker plans to highlight the competitiveness of its prismatic batteries tailored to suit electric vehicles and ESS. Along with that, the company will emphasize its advanced safety technology called "No Thermal Propagation," which prevents heat from proliferating between cells by using multiple integrated safety devices. 'At InterBattery Europe 2025, Samsung SDI will showcase innovative and safety-enhanced products, including next-generation batteries optimized for the AI era,' said a Samsung SDI official. 'The company will continue to lead the market with advanced battery technologies.' Marking its third edition, InterBattery Europe 2025 will run from Wednesday to Friday at Messe Munich.
