Samsung SDI targets 2027 LFP BBU battery production
What happened
Samsung SDI plans to begin mass-producing cylindrical lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries for AI servers as early as June 2027, which would mark the first adoption of cylindrical LFP backup batteries by a South Korean battery maker. The move is planned and not yet implemented. It expands the company's product portfolio beyond its traditional focus on ternary batteries, against a background of rapidly growing demand for battery backup units (BBUs) driven by AI data centers. The source does not state price impact or capacity figures.
