Samsung SDI wins CES Innovation Award for UPS battery solution

Samsung SDI has been honored with the CES 2027 Innovation Award for its prismatic battery solution designed for uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems. The company revealed on Tuesday that its SDI U8A3-UPS received an honorable mention in the Enterprise Tech category during the awards ceremony. A UPS is a battery-powered backup system that provides emergency power to essential facilities, like data centers, when the primary power source is unexpectedly lost.

This recognition highlights the innovation of a crucial power solution for the artificial intelligence era, according to a spokesperson for the company. The organization intends to maintain its leadership position in the market by offering products that meet the performance and safety requirements of its customers. The SDI U8A3-UPS battery solution is distinguished by its high-power output, high energy density, and fire safety features.

Its lithium manganese oxide prismatic cells provide superior power output and energy density while occupying 33 percent less space compared to traditional battery units. This compact design enables operators to maintain a consistent power supply with fewer battery installations. Additionally, the system is engineered to provide extra power when electricity demand surges, ensuring uninterrupted functionality for critical facilities.
