Samsung SDI to start US BESS manufacturing from 2026

South Korean battery and electronics materials manufacturer Samsung SDI debuted its new battery energy storage system (BESS) products at the RE+ trade show in Las Vegas, US.

Samsung’s Battery Box (SBB) 1.7 and SBB 2.0 are scheduled to begin US-based production next year.

The 6.14MWh SBB 1.7 uses high-nickel nickel cobalt aluminium oxide (NCA) cells, delivering approximately 17% higher energy density than the SBB 1.5.
