Samsung SDI introduced on Nov. 5, (native time) that it has gained the Better of Innovation award forward of CES 2026, the world’s largest tech occasion to be held in Las Vegas subsequent January, for its cutting-edge high-power cylindrical battery know-how.
After making its debut at CES 2025 and successful 4 Innovation Awards, Samsung SDI has reached one other milestone by incomes the highest honor simply two years later. The SDI 25U-Energy, Samsung SDI’s high-performance cylindrical battery, has been named the Better of Innovation winner within the Development & Industrial Tech class of the CES 2026 Innovation Awards, hosted by the Client Expertise Affiliation (CTA).
Every year forward of CES, the CTA evaluates revolutionary merchandise from around the globe primarily based on their know-how, design, and innovation, and pronounces the winners of the CES Innovation Awards.
The SDI 25U-Energy is a high-power 18650 cylindrical battery (18mm in diameter, 65mm in top) that doubles output in contrast with standard batteries, delivering the identical energy at half the burden. Primarily utilized in energy instruments, it enhances consumer comfort and improves work effectivity.
That includes tabless know-how for the primary time in an 18650 battery, it minimizes inner cell resistance and successfully controls warmth generated throughout charging, reaching excessive energy output, quick charging functionality, and lengthy lifespan.
The battery additionally contains a skinny electrode plate coating utilizing high-nickel NCA cathode materials and Samsung SDI’s proprietary Silicon Carbon Nanocomposite (SCN) anode materials to scale back resistance, delivering highly effective efficiency in a compact measurement.
Samsung SDI’s superior security know-how, No TP (No Thermal Propagation), was additionally named an Honoree within the Automobile Tech & Superior Mobility class. The know-how prevents hearth from spreading to adjoining cells when a problem happens in a selected battery cell. Leveraging its proprietary thermal propagation prediction program, Samsung SDI maximizes general security by optimizing security supplies between cells and utilizing gasoline vents to launch gasoline by means of designated pathways.
Beforehand acknowledged an Award Winner at The Smarter E Europe 2025, the biggest power exhibition in Europe, No TP has as soon as once more confirmed its technological excellence by incomes an Innovation Award at CES 2026. Following its robust debut at CES 2025, the place all 4 of its exhibited merchandise acquired Innovation Awards, Samsung SDI’s newest recognition with the Better of Innovation title underscores its rising management and world competitiveness in superior battery know-how.
“This award carries nice significance because it acknowledges our proprietary technological competitiveness within the world market, achieved by means of steady R&D efforts,” mentioned Samsung SDI official. “Constructing on our long-standing experience and innovation capabilities, we are going to proceed to steer the transformation of the longer term battery trade as a world innovation chief.”
