According to industry sources on the 9th, Samsung SDI will publicly display a sample of a pouch-type all-solid-state battery under development for physical AI applications at InterBattery 2026, which opens March 11 at COEX in Seoul for a three-day run.
The company also plans to highlight its competitiveness in core AI infrastructure by showcasing battery solutions for energy storage systems, along with ultra-high-output batteries used in uninterruptible power supplies and battery backup units that are essential for AI data centers.
At the exhibition, Samsung SDI will use the slogan, “AI’s imagination, made real by batteries,” and plans to present a wide range of technologies and products in what it said will be the largest exhibition space among participating companies.
Samsung SDI said it is expanding its form factors from prismatic all-solid-state batteries developed for electric vehicles to pouch-type designs, aiming to broaden applications to humanoid robots, aviation systems and next-generation wearables. The company noted that robots, with limited space for onboard components, require compact batteries that deliver both high energy density and strong output.
Samsung SDI will also introduce battery solutions for AI data centers, including its UPS battery “U8A1” and a high-output battery for BBUs installed inside servers. The BBU battery is designed to quickly supply power to servers during outages to prevent data loss and to support stable power delivery even when demand surges.
In addition, Samsung SDI will debut its integrated ESS solution, Samsung Battery Box (SBB), and its AI-based battery health diagnostic software, Samsung Battery Intelligence (SBI). The company said SBI analyzes battery condition, lifespan and abnormal signs to predict risks such as fires in advance. It will also display differentiated battery technologies, including a next-generation prismatic battery with an energy density of 700Wh/L.
A Samsung SDI official said the company aims to show how its battery technology can “complete all possibilities in the AI era,” adding that it will present high-quality battery solutions suited to the AI era based on capabilities built up over many years.
