AIDC-optimized solution U8A3-UPS named an Honoree in the Enterprise Tech category
Ultra-high power, high-energy density and fire safety demonstrate differentiated technological capabilities
Company says award recognizes innovation of SAMSUNG SDI’s critical power solution for AI era
SAMSUNG SDI today announced that its SDI U8A3-UPS, a prismatic battery solution for uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, has been named an Honoree in the Enterprise Tech category of the CES 2027 Innovation Awards.
The recognition comes ahead of CES 2027, the world’s largest tech event, which will be held in Las Vegas next January.
A UPS is a battery system that provides emergency power to critical facilities such as data centers in the event of an unexpected power disruption, including a power outage.
The SDI U8A3-UPS offers differentiated capabilities in ultra-high power, high-energy density and fire safety.
Equipped with prismatic battery cells using LMO (lithium manganese oxide) cathode material, the solution delivers ultra-high power and high energy density, improving space efficiency by 33% compared with conventional products and enabling a stable power supply with fewer units.
The solution can also provide supplementary power when AI computing causes sudden spikes in power demand, helping prevent server failures and data loss.
The SDI U8A3-UPS also demonstrated its exceptional fire safety by becoming the world’s first product to meet all evaluation criteria of the Indoor Large Scale Fire Test (Indoor LSFT) conducted by UL Solutions.
SAMSUNG SDI has now earned CES Innovation Awards for three consecutive years since making its first entry at CES 2025, further strengthening its global technology leadership.
Last year, the company’s ultra-high power cylindrical battery, SDI 25U-Power, won the Best of Innovation award, while its advanced No TP (No Thermal Propagation) safety technology was named an Honoree.
“This award is a recognition of the innovation of our critical power solution for the AI era,” a SAMSUNG SDI official said. “We will continue to lead the market with products that deliver the performance and safety our customers need.”
