SEOUL, June 11 (Korea Bizwire) — Samsung SDI Co., South Korea’s second-largest battery maker, said Wednesday it has signed a battery supply deal with German energy storage system (ESS) provider Tesvolt AG.
Under the agreement, Samsung SDI will deliver its Samsung Battery Box (SBB) products to Tesvolt by the end of this month. Tesvolt will integrate a power conversion system and cybersecurity features into the SBB units to provide ESS solutions for its European customers, the company said in a press release.
Tesvolt recently announced plans to strengthen its partnership with Samsung SDI, citing the SBB’s Enhanced Direct Injection (EDI) system — a unique technology designed to prevent battery fires — as well as its high durability and low noise levels.
“We have been supplying ESS batteries to Tesvolt since 2017, and with the addition of SBB products, our cooperation is expected to grow even stronger,” a Samsung SDI official said in the release.
Samsung SDI’s SBB is a 20-foot container equipped with battery cells, modules and racks. It is ready for immediate use upon connection to the power grid. The product has gained recognition in global markets, particularly in the United States and Europe, for its significantly enhanced safety features.
The company said it has already secured orders equivalent to 90 percent of its planned ESS battery production capacity for this year.
