Samsung SDI Debuts Cylindrical LFP Battery for AI Data Centers

Samsung SDI recently unveiled its latest battery innovation at the Data Center World Asia (DCWA) 2026 in Singapore, a move aimed at capturing a larger share of the artificial intelligence (AI) data center market. The highlight of their presentation was a cylindrical lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery, which emphasizes enhanced safety and performance features.

This battery is built on Samsung SDI’s proprietary structural technology and is designed to improve output and capacity while ensuring superior fire safety. The company showcased their product at four dedicated zones within their booth, including a solution that passed a large-scale indoor fire test conducted by UL Solutions, marking it as the world’s first.

Additionally, Samsung SDI introduced a high-output, high-capacity ternary battery with a bottom-vent design, and a prismatic LFP battery set to be integrated into their SBB 2.0 all-in-one energy storage system (ESS) solution. Samsung SDI’s presence at the event also included participation in a technical conference where they highlighted the technical advancements behind their battery solutions and engaged in marketing activities targeting global customers.

This strategic move comes as Samsung SDI has recently returned to profitability, with a 18.5% revenue increase in the second quarter, driven by growing demand for energy storage solutions in AI data centers and a resurgence in the European electric vehicle market.
